Job description

Senior Project Manager – Public Sector / Municipal Construction

$100000 - $160000 per year | Phoenix, AZ | On-site | Permanent

Lead the fire stations, police facilities, libraries and government buildings Arizona communities depend on, as part of a nimble, client-focused general contractor known for delivering on time and on budget.

A bit about us:

We’re an established, full-service commercial general contractor in Arizona, focused on public and municipal clients. We offer general contracting, construction management and pre-design consulting, and our reputation rests on collaboration, flexibility and delivering on time and on budget. We’re big enough to take on meaningful community projects and small enough that every leader has a real voice.

Why join us?
  • Meaningful work: build fire stations, public safety facilities and civic buildings that serve Arizona communities
  • Stable public-sector pipeline: repeat municipal and county clients, with less exposure to private-market swings
  • Real influence: a lean, adaptable company where senior PMs shape how projects are delivered
  • Early involvement: pre-design and preconstruction work means you influence projects before the first shovel
  • Collaborative culture: client-focused, transparent and quick to adapt
  • Pay: a competitive base salary, bonus, vehicle/allowance and full benefits
Job Details

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead public-sector and municipal construction projects across Arizona: fire stations, police and public safety facilities, libraries, county and city government buildings, and specialty facilities such as evidence storage and medical examiner buildings. You’ll lead projects from preconstruction and design-phase consulting through construction and closeout.

We’re a full-service general contractor and construction manager. Our clients are long-term public partners who count on us to deliver quality buildings within tight public budgets and schedules. As a Senior PM, you’ll be the main point of contact for owners and design teams, and you’ll have a direct say in how projects are planned and delivered.

What you’ll do:
  • Lead municipal and public-sector projects from preconstruction through closeout, typically ground-up civic and public safety facilities
  • Provide pre-design and preconstruction consulting to owners and architects, including budgeting, constructability and value engineering
  • Develop GMPs, manage buyout and lead CMAR, design-build and hard-bid delivery
  • Manage budgets, cost reporting, change orders, pay applications and project financials
  • Build and maintain project schedules, and coordinate closely with superintendents in the field
  • Make sure public-sector requirements are met, including prevailing wage and certified payroll, DBE/SBE goals, inspections and documentation
  • Manage subcontractors, RFIs, submittals and closeout
  • Build lasting relationships with municipal and county clients that lead to repeat work
  • Mentor PMs, APMs and project engineers
What you bring:
  • 8+ years of commercial construction project management experience with a general contractor
  • Public-sector or municipal project experience (fire stations, police facilities, libraries, government buildings or similar)
  • CMAR and/or design-build experience, including GMP development
  • Strong budget, scheduling and contract management skills
  • Excellent communication with public owners, architects and stakeholders
  • Proficiency with Procore, P6 or MS Project, Bluebeam and Microsoft Office
  • A bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering or a related field preferred
  • OSHA 30 and LEED AP a plus
