Oversee and protect project financial performance, including percent‑complete tracking, labor and material audits, trend analysis, and budget alignment.
Review contracts and approve purchase orders, change orders, vendor selections, and subcontractor invoices.
Prepare and oversee Schedule of Values (SOV), monthly billings, change orders, and closeout documentation.
Develop and manage project‑specific Quality Control plans and verify compliance through field audits.
Enforce GMI safety standards and partner with the Safety Director to proactively maintain safe job environments.
Lead kickoff meetings with both internal field teams and General Contractors to align scope, budget, production goals, and sequencing.
Coordinate manpower, equipment, and operational resources with Operations and Field leadership.
Ensure project sequencing aligns with contract schedules and agreed‑upon milestones.
Maintain accurate trend/loading data and ensure all project documentation meets GMI standards.
Mentor, train, and oversee Project Managers and Assistant Project Managers assigned to projects.
Conduct employee performance reviews and provide ongoing coaching and development.
Build and maintain strong relationships with General Contractors and clients to support repeat business.
Identify potential risks or issues early and take decisive action to protect project outcomes.
Ensure full compliance with contract documents, specifications, company policies, and operational procedures.

What We're Looking For

Strong construction experience in drywall, metal framing, and acoustical ceiling trades.
OSHA 30‑hour certification (completed or enrolled).
Proven leadership experience managing multiple projects and developing team members.
Strong understanding of construction safety regulations and a history of safety excellence.
Experience in project buyout, estimating practices, and cost control management.
Thorough knowledge of construction contracts, specifications, and fiscal management principles.
Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and technical documents.
Demonstrated ability to negotiate vendor pricing, contract scopes, and change orders.
Strong decision‑making and problem‑solving skills in complex, fast‑paced environments.
