If you're a Project Manager who's capable of running work but tired of being boxed in-this is a role where you'll have real ownership.

We're looking for a Project Manager II who can independently lead commercial construction projects while operating as a true partner to the client. This role is ideal for someone who understands design-build delivery, brings experience in industrial market segments, and has worked on projects within warehouse, manufacturing, transportation, and office environments.

This isn't a "keep the trains running" PM role-this is about influencing design, solving problems early, and helping shape projects before they become issues in the field.

You'll work in a design-build environment, alongside in-house architecture and field leadership, giving you more control, better collaboration, and fewer of the typical disconnects that slow projects down.

What You'll Own

• Full lifecycle leadership of commercial construction projects-from early design through closeout
• Direct influence on design decisions, constructability, and value engineering
• Project financials: budgets, forecasting, change orders, and overall profitability
• Client relationships-becoming a trusted advisor, not just a project contact
• Coordination across internal teams (architecture, field, safety) and external partners
• Running project meetings and driving accountability across all stakeholders
• Identifying and solving problems early-before they impact schedule or cost

What Makes This Role Different

• Design-Build Integration: You're not reacting to plans-you're helping shape them
• Client Exposure: You'll have direct, meaningful interaction with clients, not filtered communication
• Real Autonomy: Expected to run projects with minimal oversight-not wait for direction
• Business Impact: You're not just delivering projects-you're helping generate repeat work
• Project Mix: Strong focus on industrial work, including metal buildings and complex operational environments

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience managing commercial construction projects
• Experience in design-build environments and working across design + construction teams
• Background in industrial/manufacturing projects; metal building experience is a strong plus
• Ability to adjust designs and plans to meet real-world conditions
• Strong financial ownership-comfortable managing budgets, forecasts, and project performance
• A client-first mindset with the ability to build trust and long-term relationships
• Clear, confident communication with clients, subs, and internal teams
• Proficiency with tools like Procore and Microsoft Office
• Valid driver's license

Non-Negotiable: You must live in or be within a reasonable commuting distance to the Kalamazoo area
