You'll serve as a trusted partner to clients, mentor project teams, drive accountability, and help establish best practices across our Large Projects group.

The ideal candidate has a proven track record delivering complex projects, strong business and financial acumen, and a genuine passion for coaching others and building high-performing teams.

If you're looking for a leadership role where you can influence people, processes, and project outcomes, we'd like to connect.

Why Singleton?

Singleton Construction delivers nationwide retail and commercial construction programs for some of America's most recognized brands.

Our clients stay with us because we consistently deliver quality projects, communicate openly, and always do what we say we'll do.

We believe the same principles apply internally. We trust our people to make decisions, encourage collaboration over hierarchy, and create opportunities for everyone to grow their careers.

We're building a team of people who care about doing great work and enjoy doing it together.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll provide leadership across large-scale construction programs while overseeing project execution, team development, financial performance, and customer satisfaction.

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading complex commercial construction projects and multi-site programs from planning through completion.
• Serving as the primary escalation point and trusted partner for key client accounts.
• Managing project budgets, forecasting, cash flow, and overall program profitability.
• Developing and improving project management processes, templates, and operational best practices.
• Leading, mentoring, and developing Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Coordinators, and field teams.
• Ensuring projects are properly staffed and resourced to meet client expectations.
• Collaborating with Estimating, Operations, Safety, and Field teams to drive successful project outcomes.
• Reviewing contracts, subcontractor performance, procurement strategies, and project risks.
• Leading customer meetings and maintaining proactive communication with all stakeholders.
• Driving continuous improvement through lessons learned, financial reviews, and performance analysis.
• Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the high standards our clients expect.

You'll have the autonomy to make strategic decisions, influence company-wide processes, and play a key role in developing the next generation of construction leaders.

What Success Looks Like

You'll build long-term client relationships that lead to repeat business and continued growth.

Your programs will consistently meet performance goals for safety, quality, profitability, and customer satisfaction. Your teams will feel supported and accountable, your clients will trust your leadership, and your colleagues will look to you as a mentor and strategic partner.

You'll help shape the future of Singleton's Large Projects division while creating lasting impact across the business.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an experienced construction leader who combines strong operational expertise with exceptional communication and leadership skills.

You'll likely have:

• 7+ years of experience managing large-scale commercial construction projects or programs.
• Proven experience leading and developing project management teams.
• Strong financial management, forecasting, and budgeting experience.
• Experience overseeing multiple concurrent projects and customer programs.
• Exceptional client relationship and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong knowledge of construction contracts, scheduling, procurement, and risk management.
• The ability to identify process improvements and drive operational efficiencies.
• Experience working with project management software and Microsoft Office applications.
• A proactive, solutions-focused leadership style.
• PMP certification is a plus but not required.
• Willingness to travel to project locations as needed.

Experience managing nationwide retail, commercial, rollout, or multi-site construction programs is highly preferred.

While our preference is for candidates located near our Lancaster, Ohio office, we are open to considering exceptional out-of-state candidates who can commit to monthly travel for in-person collaboration. Candidates residing within one hour of Lancaster, OH will be expected to work in the office 100% of the time.

• Lead large-scale, high-impact projects for nationally recognized brands.
• Influence strategy and process improvements across major customer programs.
