Based in Pittsburgh, PA, this growing commercial construction company is looking to elevate the skillset and speed of their Project Management team, while helping them transform from a reactive mindset to a proactive one. With a focus on shorter, high-volume projects such as retail, restaurant, and fitness builds, this is a fast-paced environment and they need a leader who can implement best practices and drive the pace for a team of 7 PM's and Project Coordinators.

  • Take a hands-on approach and be comfortable working on projects when needed
  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Accounting, HR, and Estimating to align project goals with business objectives
  • Establish a go-forward plan that includes data-driven approaches to best practices and quantifiable outcomes
  • Heavy travel to project sites (up to 70% in the beginning, which will lower as the team skills up)


What You'll Need:

  • Fast-paced commercial construction project management for short-duration projects (3-4 months) -- must have commercial experience
  • Hands-on leadership approach managing Project Managers (must be comfortable rolling up sleeves)
  • Have built project management best practices
  • Strong budget and scheduling expertise, particularly in subcontractor-heavy environments
  • Project Management software (Premier and/or ProCor is a plus)
  • Experience in smaller companies where adaptability and resourcefulness are key (plus if you have a combo of big, established companies as well as smaller companies and teams)
  • Experience in heavy travel roles (and/or fully remote)
  • Be located in Pittsburgh or be comfortable relocating, with relo assistance provided (this is an in-office role)


Plus Skills:

  • Background in retail, restaurant, or fitness construction projects
  • Experience improving mindset and performance of underperforming teams (big plus)
  • Familiarity with buyout contracts and negotiating subcontractor scopes
  • Experience working in sales, estimating, or accounting functions


What You’ll Get in Return:

  • Competitive Comp Package - Base + Bonus
  • Strong health benefits and more
  • A chance to play a transformative role in building a high-performing PM organization
  • Direct access to a collaborative and empowering leadership team
  • The opportunity to shape the project management culture and implement scalable processes
  • A dynamic and fast-paced work environment with exposure to exciting projects across the U.S.
