Job description

At Barringer Construction, we build more than buildings we build relationships, careers, and an experience our clients remember long after the final punch list. As a Carolinas-based commercial general contractor with offices in Asheville, Charlotte, Greenville, and Raleigh, we work across corporate interiors, hospitality, life sciences, mission critical, industrial, and healthcare projects throughout NC, SC, and wherever our clients take us.

We're 100% employee-owned through our ESOP, which means every team member shares in what we build together. We've also been named the #1 Best Employer in North Carolina by Business NC Magazine in both 2024 and 2025.

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who builds trust quickly and leads teams to exceptional outcomes. You'll enjoy a strong benefits package that includes 100% employer-paid premiums for dental, vision, short-term disability, and life insurance; a 401(k) with company match; generous PTO; tuition reimbursement; wellness programs; pet insurance; and annual donations to the charities you care about most.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll lead multiple complex commercial construction projects from pursuit through closeout while mentoring the project teams around you. You'll partner closely with clients, senior leadership, superintendents, and subcontractors serving as the person who keeps projects aligned, teams motivated, and client relationships stronger than when you started.

• Lead multiple concurrent projects and high-performing teams, keeping budget, schedule, and construction plans on track.
• Own client relationships that deepen trust and strengthen Barringer's presence in our market.
• Drive pursuit interviews, pricing efforts, and strategic decisions that shape how we win and deliver work.
• Negotiate contracts, create budgets, and develop cost projections that set projects up for financial success.
• Execute timely buyout and lead closeout within 90 days with zero Day 2 items.
• Mentor and develop Project Managers, Assistant PMs, and Project Engineers growing the next generation of Barringer leaders.
• Anticipate challenges 2-3 years out and help teams navigate risk before it lands on a jobsite.
• Represent Barringer in client meetings, interviews, and presentations with the polish and presence our clients expect.

Position Requirements

What You Bring

• Proven leadership and team-building abilities across multiple simultaneous projects.
• A polished, confident presence in interviews, presentations, and client-facing settings.
• Strong business acumen around budgets, contracts, and cost projections.
• A mentorship mindset — you develop the people around you as deliberately as you deliver projects.
• The trust-first approach that defines our Relationship Enthusiasts and Trusted Advisors.

Experience

• 8-10+ years of commercial construction management experience, with a track record of leading complex projects.
• Demonstrated success managing people and projects simultaneously.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in a construction-related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Skills & Tools

• Advanced Procore skills required; Procore certification preferred.
• Proficiency in Viewpoint.
• Strong command of Microsoft Office and Bluebeam.

How You Work

• You build trust quickly with teammates, clients, and subcontractors.
• You model strong time management and a healthy work/life balance.
• You think ahead and help your teams do the same.

Work is performed in a mix of office and active construction site environments, with varying conditions including stairs, ladders, and occasional dust and temperature swings. Some early mornings, evenings, or weekends may be required based on project needs.
