Construction Project Manager
Job Description
The Opportunity
We are a premier construction management and design-build firm dedicated to shaping the landscape of Oklahoma City. We don't just build structures; we create landmarks. From complex adaptive reuse projects in the urban core to architecturally significant ground-up developments, our portfolio is defined by quality, craftsmanship, and community impact.
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to join our leadership team. This is not a role for a clipboard-carrier; it is a role for a builder with a business mindset. We need a strategic leader capable of managing high-stakes projects, fostering relationships with top-tier architects and clients, and mentoring the next generation of construction professionals.
Who You Are
- A Master Builder: You understand that construction is a collaborative process between design and execution. You respect the architectural vision and know how to build it efficiently.
- A Local Expert: You have a pulse on the OKC market—you know the best subcontractors, you understand the local permitting landscape, and you have a reputation for integrity in the region.
- A Problem Solver: You don't just report problems to the owner; you present solutions. You thrive in the "gray areas" of complex renovation and design-build projects.
- A Leader: You lead by example, maintaining a job site culture that is safe, professional, and respectful.
Key Responsibilities
Project Leadership
- Take full ownership of construction projects from pre-construction through closeout, with values ranging from $5M to $50M+.
- Lead the development of comprehensive project schedules and budgets, ensuring strict adherence to financial goals without sacrificing quality.
- Serve as the primary liaison between the client, design team, and field staff, ensuring clear and consistent communication.
Pre-Construction & Strategy
- Collaborate with the estimating team during the bid and pre-construction phase to identify constructability issues, value engineering opportunities, and logistical challenges.
- Negotiate and manage high-level subcontracts and purchase orders.
Team Management
- Provide mentorship and direction to Assistant Project Managers and Project Engineers.
- Work intimately with Superintendents to ensure field operations align with project timelines and company safety standards.
Financial & Risk Management
- Manage all financial aspects of the project, including pay applications, forecasting, change orders, and cash flow analysis.
- Mitigate project risk by ensuring compliance with all local codes, safety regulations, and contract requirements.
Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in commercial construction project management.
- Portfolio: Proven track record managing complex commercial projects, ideally with experience in adaptive reuse, hospitality, mixed-use, or high-end office spaces.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or Architecture is preferred.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in modern construction management software (e.g., Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project) and job cost accounting systems.
- Soft Skills: Exceptional negotiation, conflict resolution, and presentation skills.
Why Join Us?
- Impact: Work on the most visible and talked-about projects in Oklahoma City.
- Culture: We operate with a flat structure that discourages bureaucracy and encourages autonomy. We work hard, but we value our lives outside of the office.
- Compensation: Competitive base salary with an aggressive performance-based bonus structure, full benefits package, and vehicle allowance.
- Legacy: Be part of a team that prizes reputation and relationships above all else.
All applications are held in strict confidence.
