Project Manager | Elite Commercial Construction Management

Location: Chicago or Woodridge, IL

The Opportunity

We aren’t your typical general contractor. Founded on the belief that construction should be streamlined, transparent, and driven by innovation, our firm has spent the last 15+ years redefining the building experience. From high-tech industrial hubs and luxury hospitality to complex healthcare facilities, we leverage a sophisticated blend of data, technology, and elite talent to execute projects that others find "too complex."

We are looking for a Project Manager who is tired of the status quo. If you are a high-performer who thrives on autonomy, loves solving puzzles before they become problems, and wants to lead a diverse portfolio of commercial work, we want to talk to you.

The Role: Impact & Authority

As Project Manager, you aren't just a task-tracker—you are the CEO of your project. You will have the significant responsibility and authority to lead multi-million dollar developments from preconstruction through closeout.

  • Be the Strategy: Lead preconstruction efforts, solicit bids, and perform high-level estimates to secure and set the foundation for new wins.

  • Empower the Team: Mentor the next generation by supervising Project Engineers and Interns, fostering a culture of high performance and collaboration.

  • Own the Financials: Independently manage cost control, forecasting, and change management with the precision of a financial analyst.

  • Innovate & Solve: Identify "critical path" bottlenecks and design conflicts before they ever hit the field.

  • Represent the Brand: Act as the primary face of the firm to clients, architects, and the public, building the relationships that drive our future growth.

What You Bring to the Table

We are looking for a rare mix of field intelligence and executive mindset.

  • Experience: 5 to 7+ years of progressively increasing responsibility in commercial construction.

  • Technical Literacy: You are a pro with the modern stack—Procore, Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, and BIM are your standard tools.

  • The "Builder" Lens: A thorough understanding of construction means, methods, and risk management across all trades.

  • Leadership: The ability to negotiate, write scope, and hold subcontractors to the highest standards of safety and quality.

  • Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, or Construction Management. LEED AP status is a major plus.

Why Join Us?

  • Flexibility: Choose the home base that works for you—our vibrant Chicago office or our Woodridge hub.

  • The Portfolio: No two days are the same. You’ll work across retail, office, healthcare, multi-family, and industrial sectors.

  • The Culture: We believe in "People + Process." We strip away the unnecessary complications of the industry so you can focus on what you do best: building.
