About the job
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
