• Communicating directly with clients, design teams, and leadership - you're the face of the job.
• Making critical decisions in real-time and backing them up with experience and foresight.
  
  

What They're Looking For

• 8+ years of commercial construction experience, including as lead PM on $10M-$50M+ projects.
• Hands-on background with vertical construction.
• Solid understanding of contract negotiation, buyout, risk management, and forecasting.
• Professional, direct communicator who earns trust with clients and trades.
  
  

What's In It For You

• A strong and stable general contractor that doesn't overpromise - they pick projects wisely and deliver well.
• Local work in the Atlanta area - no travel.
• Leadership that gives you room to run and values your judgment.
