Job description

We're partnered with a globally recognized General Contractor headquartered in Chicago that is looking to add a Senior Project Manager to their growing leadership team.

With over 100 years of history, this organization has built an incredible reputation by creating a business model that goes beyond a traditional GC. Their three core revenue streams -construction, architecture, and engineering - provide long-term stability and allow teams to collaborate under one roof, creating a much more streamlined project delivery process.

This integrated approach gives Senior Project Managers the opportunity to work on complex projects where they may be involved across multiple phases of the building process, partnering directly with internal design and engineering teams.

Their portfolio includes a wide variety of markets including industrial, commercial, residential, hospitality, civil, and more, with a strong focus on large-scale ground-up projects ranging from $75M up to $500M+.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead complex ground-up projects from preconstruction through completion
• Manage project teams, budgets, schedules, and client relationships
• Coordinate closely with internal construction, architecture, and engineering teams
• Oversee Project Managers and support their professional development
• Drive project execution, profitability, and overall client satisfaction
• Provide leadership across multiple stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle

What They're Looking For

• 10+ years of experience with a General Contractor
• Experience managing projects valued at $75M+
• Prior experience leading and mentoring Project Managers
• Strong financial management, scheduling, and client-facing skills
• Someone looking for long-term growth within a stable organization

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Global organization with a strong Chicago presence
• Chicago HQ with all local projects — no travel required
• Unique integrated environment combining construction, architecture, and engineering
• ESOP structure allowing employees to have ownership in the company
• Half-day Fridays year-round
• $160K – $180K base salary + bonus
• ESOP structure
• Strong long-term career growth opportunities

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Project Manager who wants to lead major projects, mentor teams, and be part of a company with the stability of a global organization and the collaboration of an integrated design-build environment.
