You'll have the autonomy to run your projects, the support of an experienced team, and the opportunity to make a real impact as the company continues to grow.

This isn't a role where you're buried in paperwork all day. You'll be in the field, collaborating with builders, solving problems, and ensuring every project is completed safely, on time, and to the highest standards.

• Serve as the primary point of contact between builders, homeowners, field teams, and internal departments
• Review blueprints, specifications, contracts, and project documentation
• Monitor budgets, labor performance, project timelines, and job profitability
• Conduct job site visits to ensure quality workmanship, safety, and schedule complianceCoordinate closely with estimating, operations, and field leadership to ensure smooth project execution
• Resolve project challenges quickly while maintaining excellent customer relationships
• Help improve processes and mentor team members as the company continues to grow

What We're Looking For

• Construction project management experience required

• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
• Experience reading blueprints, specifications, and construction documents
• Strong understanding of scheduling, budgeting, and job costing
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Highly organized with exceptional time management
• Proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Experience with construction software; ServiceTitan experience is a plus
• Project Management degree is a plus but not required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This company has been serving Northern Michigan homeowners and builders since 2000 by delivering quality craftsmanship, innovative mechanical solutions, and exceptional customer service. The company has built a reputation for investing in its people, promoting from within, and creating an environment where employees are trusted, supported, and equipped to succeed.

You’ll join a collaborative leadership team where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and you’ll have the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing organization.

If you’re ready to take ownership of high-end residential construction projects while building a long-term career with a company that genuinely invests in its people, we’d love to speak with you.
