Job description

We're building one of the best remodeling companies in the industry. Come help us win.

Perez Construction is a family-owned general contractor in San Francisco. We've been named a Fast 100 company four years running, and we built two rooms at the 2024 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. We set a high standard, we hit it, and we're growing because of it. We're hiring a Senior Project Manager who wants to play at that level.

The role

You'll run our biggest and most complex projects from contract handoff through warranty, 3 to 4 at a time. You are the business leader of every job. When you walk into an OAC meeting, you have the numbers, the schedule, and the open decisions in your head, and everyone leaves with more clarity than they came with. You report to our Director of Production, operate with minimal oversight, and raise the bar for our Project Managers.

What you'll own

• The money. Budget, cost-to-complete, change orders, and billing. You see where the job is headed, flag exposure early, and deliver the margin we set at contract.
• The schedule. A real client-facing schedule that tracks critical path, procurement, and long-lead items. You look weeks ahead, not just at tomorrow.
• The relationships. Owners, architects, and designers trust you because you tell them the hard things early and arrive with a plan.
• The handoff and buyout. You take each project from our Estimator and lock in subs and materials before they threaten the schedule.
• The risk. Permits, inspections, and contract issues get caught before they cost us.
• The people. You partner with the field team and coach our Project Managers.
• The finish. Clean closeout, clean books, and ownership of the warranty period.

What you bring

• 10+ years in residential construction, 5+ as a PM on high-end remodels of $1M and above
• A proven record of hitting or beating estimated gross margin, backed by strong references
• Command of job cost reports, cost-to-complete forecasts, and change order logs
• Experience building and running full schedules in Buildertrend
• Working knowledge of San Francisco DBI permitting and inspections
• The ability to read architectural, structural, and MEP drawings and catch conflicts before they reach the field
• Experience coaching or supervising PMs or project staff

Nice to have

• PMI-CP, CPC, or similar certification, or one earned within 12 months of hire
• Active California B contractor's license

Pay range:

$150,000 to $200,000 per year, depending on experience
