About You

You are an operations-minded Project Manager who drives throughput, first-pass quality, and predictable costs. You're field-savvy and data-literate, and comfortable turning constraints and challenges into clear plans that keep work moving with zero-excuse schedules.

About The Role

The Project Manager role is a central coordinator and key steward for our residential projects. With primary focus on leading assigned trades during construction, this role ensures the proper performance of trade work and its sequencing with other projects and trades. Maximizing value through developing strong relationships with key subcontractors, this role helps balance trade partner capacity with cost and is the gatekeeper for ensuring that work quality is not sacrificed with our projects. Close engagement with the Construction Planning Manager (CPM), General Contractor (GC), Quality Manager and Project Coordinator (PC) are necessary for smooth building operations.

Documentation & Technical Coordination

• Own procurement for assigned trades and materials and ensure their successful installation including bidding, buyout, and trade sequencing
• Define scopes and bid packages; qualify bids with the Project Coordinator (PC), ensuring document compliance and alignment with standardized WBS/coding and templates
• Direct the PC to identify conformance issues in related work and follow through to correction; escalate to GC/Quality/CPM as needed
• Operate within Procore daily to manage scope, subcontracts, RFIs, submittals, and conformance tracking for assigned packages; maintain clean, current records aligned to CPM standards

Accuracy & Consistency

• Follow company planning standards and documentation best practices
• Track commitments, cost-to-complete, and variances for assigned trades; propose cost-control options and value improvements
• Maintain scope matrices and quality/conformance logs to ensure first-pass quality and reduce rework

Schedule

• Build two- to six-week look-ahead plans for assigned trades; sequence with the GC to hit milestones
• Monitor partner capacity, inspections, and lead times to ensure just-in-time delivery
• Run weekly production huddles for assigned trades; track commitments and percent-complete; remove blockers early

Team Coordination & Collaboration

• Lead the PC; set priorities, coach, and review outcomes. Coordinate with CPM, GC, Quality Manager, and other Project Managers to support cadence and dovetailing of work with others
• Keep stakeholders aligned through decision logs, action trackers, and risk registers; escalate issues with options and impacts for further review
