A bit about us:

We’re a Midwest-based construction management & general contracting team delivering ground-up and complex renovation projects for education, retail, automotive, commercial, interiors, and civic clients. If you love owning a project from preconstruction through closeout, leading high-performing teams, and delivering a world-class experience for owners and partners—we offer the tools and support structure to do your best work.

Why join us?

Competitive compensation: strong base salary, performance bonuses, vehicle/mileage program, phone allowance, and comprehensive benefits that reward top-tier PM talent.
Stable, diversified backlog: consistent work across K-12, commercial, retail, automotive, and civic markets, with project pipelines that keep you billable and growing.
High-quality field partnerships: work with seasoned Superintendents, reliable subcontractors, and repeat-client owners who value craftsmanship and predictable delivery.
Clear paths for advancement: opportunities to move into Senior PM, Precon, or Operations leadership as you take on larger and more complex project scopes.
Tools & resources built for speed: Procore-driven workflows, strong preconstruction support, modern tech, and leadership that invests in doing things the right way—not the hard way.
A builder’s culture: no bureaucracy, no egos—just a team that values problem-solving, partnership, and delivering projects owners are proud to walk into on day one.

What you’ll do

Own the project lifecycle: drive preconstruction participation, GMP development, buyout, cost control, schedule, quality, safety, and closeout.

Champion the plan: create and maintain detailed schedules (master and 3-week look-aheads), procurement logs, and risk registers.
Protect the budget: manage forecasts, pay apps, change orders, and contingency; keep stakeholders informed with clear, proactive communication.
Elevate partners: cultivate strong relationships with owners, architects, engineers, and trade partners; run crisp OAC meetings and deliverables.
Finish strong: punchlist and closeout with complete turnover packages, warranty tracking, and lessons-learned capture.

Proven success managing $5M–$50M+ projects; multiple smaller concurrent jobs a plus.
