Financial & Operational Performance

• Manage project budgets, job costs, schedules, and subcontractor/vendor coordination.
• Track labor productivity and revenue performance across your portfolio of projects.
• Pinpoint and act on opportunities to strengthen margins and operational efficiency.

Team Leadership & Mentorship

• Lead from the front within the regional project management team, modeling quality, accountability, and professionalism.
• Coach and support Project Managers, APMs, Superintendents, Coordinators, and Interns.
• Reinforce operational best practices and help build a high-performance team culture.

Client Relationships & Regional Growth

• Fuel regional growth by cultivating strong relationships with general contractors, owners, and trade partners.
• Contribute to pursuits, bids, and business development across the region.
• Help keep the project pipeline healthy and grow regional backlog.

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of project management experience with a commercial drywall or interiors subcontractor - required.
• Strong working knowledge of metal stud framing, drywall systems, acoustical ceilings, insulation, and related scopes.
• Proven ability to manage budgets, job costs, schedules, and vendor/subcontractor coordination.
• A history of building GC relationships and supporting regional business development.
• Natural leadership instincts and a real commitment to developing people and lifting team performance.
• Comfortable operating at a senior level - owning outcomes, solving problems, and leading by example.

Why UCS

• A national platform with a strong reputation and deep backlog, particularly in mission critical and advanced manufacturing
• Complete corporate support across Safety, HR, Accounting, VDC, Engineering, and more
• A senior seat with genuine influence - your leadership will directly shape how the team performs
