$/yr - $/yr

We are hiring a hands‑on Project Manager to support and lead ground‑up commercial construction projects across California. This role is ideal for a Project Manager who enjoys being actively involved in the day‑to‑day execution of projects—not someone who manages exclusively from behind a desk. You will work closely with Superintendents, VDC Engineers, and internal teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget.

Projects range from $15M to $150M and include complex commercial and structural construction work.

• Manage commercial construction projects from pre-construction through close-out
• Coordinate daily with Superintendents, VDC Engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Maintain project schedules, budgets, and cost controls
• Review weekly budgets, self-performed work costs, and project financials
• Track project P&L, applications for payment, change events, and schedules
• Review drawings, specifications, and scopes of work
• Write scopes for subcontracts and purchase orders
• Serve as a key liaison between the field, ownership, and project stakeholders
• Maintain a strong on-site presence and lead from the front

Required Experience

• Minimum 5 consecutive years as a Project Manager
• Ground‑up commercial construction experience required
• Comfortable working in the field and “in the trenches” alongside project teams
• Familiarity with project management and construction software
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications

Preferred Attributes

• Strong cost control and financial reporting experience
• Experience working on projects valued between $15M–$150M
• Collaborative, team‑oriented mindset
• Organized, accountable, and detail‑driven
• Adaptable to working on both Design‑Build GC and Structural Concrete projects

This role is best suited for Project Managers who are doers
, not delegators.

• Comprehensive benefits package after 90 days, including:
• 100% employer‑paid medical insurance (employee premium)
• Dental and vision options
• Paid holidays, sick time, and PTO
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

• Join a well‑established contractor with deep self‑perform capabilities
• Gain exposure to both Design‑Build and structural concrete construction
• Stable backlog of work and long‑term growth opportunities
• Strong field‑driven culture that values accountability and execution
