Job description

An established General Contractor headquartered in the Milwaukee Suburbs, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our Self-perform Team.

Salary: $100,000 - $140,000 per year

A bit about us:

We are a well-established, full-service general contractor with deep roots spanning decades in the commercial construction industry. We handle the full spectrum of project delivery - from pre-construction planning, design/build, and budgeting, through construction management, self-performed work (including demolition, concrete, carpentry, and drywall/steel-studs), and project close-out. Our philosophy is simple: treat every project as if it were our own, delivering functional, high-quality spaces that meet our clients’ vision while staying on schedule and within budget. We take pride in long-term relationships with clients, a commitment to craftsmanship, and a relentless focus on doing "anything less than exceptional" is unacceptable.

Why join us:

• Comprehensive compensation package that includes a company vehicle, full benefits (medical, dental, vision), 401K matching, company profit sharing, 3 weeks starting PTO, cell phone stipend, gym membership and more.
• The opportunity to lead and directly influence high-quality, self-performed work - from rough carpentry to drywall and finish interior elements.
• Work with a team that values integrity, workmanship, and collaboration.
• Exposure to a variety of project types (commercial, industrial, institutional) and diverse construction work.
• A role that blends hands-on craft knowledge with project leadership and management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan, schedule, and manage in-house carpentry, drywall, framing, and interior trades from preconstruction through closeout.
• Coordinate self-perform scope with subcontracted trades and subcontractors - ensuring smooth sequencing and minimal conflicts.
• Monitor and direct self-perform crew activities daily: assign tasks, supervise workmanship, ensure adherence to drawing/spec requirements, and enforce quality control.
• Maintain project schedules and budgets; identify and mitigate risks or delays - particularly those involving self-perform work.
• Manage logistics for materials, labor, equipment and site conditions for self-perform scopes.
• Serve as the primary field point-of-contact for clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors regarding self-perform trades.
• Ensure compliance with safety policies and standards on site, and promote a culture of safety, craftsmanship, and accountability.
• Provide status reports: progress of self-performed work, coordination with other scopes, and overall project milestones.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of project management or construction supervision experience - specifically in carpentry, framing, drywall, or interior build-out work.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of carpentry, metal stud framing, drywall installation & finishing, and interior construction sequences.
• Proven ability to manage crews directly and coordinate in-house trades along with subcontractors.
• Skilled at scheduling, resource allocation (labor, materials, equipment), and cost control.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills - able to liaise effectively with clients, design teams, subcontractors, and in-house crews.
• Commitment to quality craftsmanship, safety, and project integrity.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
• Problem-solving mindset and flexibility to adapt to evolving project needs.
