This is an opportunity to join a business that combines the resources and reputation of a national contractor with the culture of a family-founded organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage all aspects of project execution from preconstruction through completion
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, forecasts, and resource plans
• Ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, vendors, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders
• Coordinate procurement activities to ensure timely delivery of materials and equipment
• Manage project financials, change orders, billing, and forecasting
• Conduct regular site visits and progress reviews
• Lead project teams while mentoring and developing junior staff
• Provide regular project updates to senior leadership
• Support long-term workforce and resource planning initiatives

• Strong scheduling, planning, communication, and problem-solving abilities

Preferred Experience

• Mission critical or hyperscale data center experience
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Project Management, Business, or related discipline
• PMP or PMI-SP certification
• Experience with COINS, ConEst, and Microsoft Office Suite
• 100% employer-paid medical and dental coverage
