Construction Project Manager

Construction Project Manager

About the Project Manager Position

The Project Manager role calls for a proactive, strategic thinker who excels in planning, scheduling, and problem-solving. Our most successful Project Managers are those who stay several steps ahead—anticipating needs, preventing issues, and ensuring smooth project execution. In contrast, those who focus only on day-to-day demands often find themselves in constant reaction mode.

Strong leadership is another key to success in this position. The ideal PM not only manages projects but also mentors and empowers Superintendents and Foremen, fostering a culture of accountability and excellence in the field.

A forward-thinking approach also supports our broader goal of maximizing efficiency and reducing costs. Strategic planning allows us to purchase materials directly from manufacturers rather than relying on last-minute wholesale buys, helping us leverage our scale for better pricing. Likewise, our best planners consistently lower rental equipment expenses and minimize reliance on the Warehouse, significantly cutting internal handling costs.
