Job description

Charlotte, NC | Path to Project Executive

We are representing a highly respected Charlotte-based General Contractor with a strong local reputation, long-standing client relationships across the Carolinas, and a steady pipeline of commercial, education, and industrial projects.

This opportunity is specifically targeted toward a current Senior Project Manager working at a local GC who has built strong relationships across the Carolinas and wants to step into a true leadership role with the opportunity to help grow and lead a division.

For the right person, this is not just another PM role. This is a clear runway toward a Project Executive level position within an organization that values leadership, accountability, and long-term growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Established Charlotte office with strong local leadership and culture
• Manage commercial, education, and industrial projects ranging from $5M – $50M+
• Lead multiple projects while mentoring APM’s and Project Engineers
• Opportunity to help grow and shape a division within the company
• Clear path toward Project Executive level leadership
• Competitive compensation, bonus structure, benefits, and 401K

Ideal Background

• Currently a Sr. Project Manager at a NC/SC General Contractor
• Experience managing ground‑up commercial, education, or industrial projects
• Proven ability to oversee multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong client relationships and network within the Carolinas construction market
• Leadership mindset with interest in mentoring teams and helping grow a division

This is a rare leadership opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply managing projects and play a key role in the growth and direction of a construction team.
