Job description

I’m working with a well established national developer-builder that is expanding its construction operation in Austin and looking to add a strong Project Manager to the team.

This is not a traditional GC opportunity.

The company is fully integrated with in house development, architecture, preconstruction, and construction, so Project Managers are involved much earlier than they would be at most contractors. You will work directly with the development and design teams from early planning and budgeting through construction and closeout.

The Austin office is still in the early stages of its growth, which creates a unique opportunity to join before the local construction team is fully built out.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage projects from early preconstruction through final completion
• Work directly with development, architecture, estimating, and field teams
• Support conceptual budgeting, constructability, scheduling, procurement, and design management
• Manage subcontractor buyout, cost control, change management, and project financials
• Work closely with Superintendents and project teams to drive schedule, quality, and safety
• Help establish relationships with local subcontractors, consultants, and industry partners
• Play a key role in helping build the company’s long term construction presence in Austin

Project Types

The initial Austin pipeline is heavily focused on large ground up industrial development, with multifamily and other commercial projects expected to follow.

The broader company portfolio includes:

• Industrial and advanced manufacturing
• Multifamily and student housing
• Office and mixed use
• Institutional and education

What They’re Looking For

• 7+ years of commercial construction experience
• Strong ground up project experience
• Experience independently managing projects from preconstruction through closeout
• Strong financial management, scheduling, subcontractor management, and client communication skills
• Experience working closely with Superintendents and developing project teams
• Preconstruction, design build, or conceptual estimating experience is highly preferred
• Austin or Central Texas construction relationships are a major plus
• Industrial experience is helpful but not required

The ideal person is a strong Project Manager who wants more responsibility, more visibility with leadership, and the opportunity to grow with an office rather than simply step into an established structure.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• The company has been established for more than 70 years and has the resources, systems, and project experience of a national organization, but the Austin construction operation still has a startup feel.
• You will have the chance to help shape how the local team is built while having the support of experienced construction leadership, shared national resources, and in house development and design teams.
• For someone who wants to eventually move into Senior PM, Project Executive, or broader construction leadership, there is a very real path to grow as the Austin operation expands.
• This is an opportunity to help build something in Austin without taking on the risk of joining an actual startup.
