Job description

Overview

What We're Looking For

For the past 30 years, our team at ACP (Acoustic Ceiling & Partition, a Double L company) has built a reputation for quality, reliability, and craftsmanship in the commercial construction world, specializing in metal studs and drywall across Central Ohio. Now we’re expanding our legacy into Southern Ohio, and we’re looking for a strong Project Manager who’s ready to execute our vision. This role will be responsible for areas from Dayton to Jeffersonville and down to Cincinnati. We’re looking for a Project Manager who knows commercial construction and doesn’t need to be told why schedules, scopes, and details matter. This isn’t a babysitting role - you’ll own your projects from start to finish. As we expand into a new market, you’ll help set the standard, represent ACP on jobsites, and make sure the final product doesn’t come with excuses. This role is a great fit for a PM who likes autonomy, takes accountability seriously, and gets satisfaction from a job that runs the way it’s supposed to. If you enjoy well-run projects, solid relationships, and work you’re proud to stand behind, we should talk.

What We Offer

When you interview for a job, it\u2019s a two-way street. While you\u2019re trying to put your best foot forward, we\u2019re doing the same.

We are a rapidly growing company that cares about our employees and their families. We know it\u2019s rare, but we actually like each other and enjoy going to work.
