Job Description

Project Manager – Commercial Construction

Location: California | On-site (Job Sites & Corporate Office)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $101,000–$130,000 + Car Allowance + Gas Allowance

About the Role

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.

What You’ll Be Doing

• 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

What We’re Looking For

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.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $101,000–$130,000
• Car Allowance + Gas Allowance
• Comprehensive benefits package after 90 days, including:
• 100% employer-paid medical insurance (employee premium)
• Dental and vision options
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Paid holidays, sick time, and PTO
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Why This Opportunity?

• Work on large-scale, high-profile commercial projects
• 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
