What You'll Do

As a Senior Project Manager with Findorff, you'll lead construction projects from early planning through closeout, owning the process, the relationships, and the results. Because our work spans a wide range of project types, sizes, and complexities, no two projects look exactly the same. What stays consistent is your role as a trusted leader and problem solver.
  • Apply Construction Expertise: Use your deep understanding of building systems, materials, and construction methods to lead with safety, anticipate and mitigate risks, proactively solve problems, and keep projects moving forward.
  • Drive Procurement Efforts: Lead bidding and contracting processes, oversee subcontractor and vendor selection, and manage submittals to keep work aligned with project requirements and timelines.
  • Plan and Execute Projects: Develop and maintain project schedules, lead meetings, coordinate with self-perform teams and subcontractors, and champion safety planning to deliver successful, well-executed projects.
  • Own Financial Performance: Manage all financial aspects of your projects - from preconstruction and estimating through forecasting, cost control, and change management - ensuring strong financial outcomes.
  • Lead Project Teams: Provide clear direction and leadership to project teams, fostering strong communication, mentoring team members, resolving conflicts, and building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.
