**seeking an experienced commercial construction project manager**
The Role:
You'll take personal ownership of complex commercial projects from buyout through closeout. This isn't about coordinating others' work - it's about being the owner of quality, driver of schedules, and solver of complex challenges on architecturally significant projects.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drive all aspects of project delivery including buyout, scheduling, cost control, and quality management
- Lead weekly OAC meetings that produce decisions, not just discussions
- Conduct pre-installation meetings to ensure quality before work begins
- Manage RFIs, submittals, and change orders with focus on constructability
- Build and maintain trust and strong relationships with owners, architects, and trade partners
- Ensure projects hit schedule milestones and budget targets without compromise to quality
- Communicate proactively - nobody should ever wonder about project status
- Develop your team and trade partners to deliver at the highest level
- Conduct pre-installation meetings that prevent rework and ensure quality
- Review drawings, submittals, and RFIs with an eye for constructability and coordination
- Identify and resolve conflicts before they impact the field
- Provide innovative solutions when site conditions or design challenges arise
- Develop and maintain schedules that reflect reality while pushing for efficiency
- Track costs with the same rigor you'd apply to your own money
What Success Looks Like:
- Think Like a Builder: Understand constructability deeply and catch issues before they hit the field
- Operate with Urgency: Stay ahead of the project naturally, preventing fires instead of fighting them
- Lead With Initiative: Don't wait for someone to tell you what to do, follow up until you get the answer you need and drive progress without someone driving you
- Set High Standards: Know the difference between good and exceptional - and always deliver exceptional
What Sets RGGC Apart:
- Meaningful Projects: Historic renovations, architecturally significant buildings, complex restorations
- Intense but Supportive: High expectations paired with real leadership support
- True Ownership: Autonomy to run your projects while being held to exceptional standards
- Best Place to Work: Consistently recognized because we invest in our people's success
Ideal Qualifications:
- 3-5+ years Project Manager experience with a General Contractor
- Deep technical construction knowledge, not just scheduling skills
- Natural owner mentality - you care without being told to
- Excellent communicator who responds with urgency and clarity
- Decision maker who moves fast and owns outcomes
- Thrives in high-expectation environments where excellence is the minimum standard
- Knows when to ask for help, avoids suffering in silence
This job is not for everyone. We have high expectations and a large task ahead: to rewrite the negative narrative about construction by proving construction can be an awesome experience for everyone. Apply only if you're ready for a challenge.
