Project Manager

The Role

JRC is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead commercial construction projects from preconstruction and project turnover through completion and closeout.

The Project Manager is responsible for the overall management, coordination and financial performance of assigned projects. This position serves as a key point of contact between the owner, design team, subcontractors, vendors and JRC’s field staff.

The right candidate is organized, proactive and comfortable managing multiple priorities while maintaining strong communication with everyone involved in the project.

What You’ll Do

• Manage assigned construction projects from turnover through final closeout
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, architects, consultants, subcontractors and vendors
• Partner closely with the Project Superintendent to coordinate field operations, schedules and project priorities
• Review project drawings, specifications, contracts and scope requirements
• Manage subcontractor buyout, contracts, purchase orders and scopes of work
• Develop and maintain project budgets, cost reports and financial forecasts
• Monitor project costs and identify potential budget concerns early
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders and other project documentation
• Review and process subcontractor pay applications and owner billings
• Participate in owner, architect and contractor meetings and provide clear project updates
• Develop, monitor and communicate project schedules in coordination with the Superintendent
• Identify potential project risks, conflicts and schedule impacts and work with the team to resolve them
• Ensure changes in scope are properly documented, priced and incorporated into the project
• Support quality control and safety expectations throughout the project
• Coordinate project turnover, punch list completion and closeout documentation
• Maintain accurate and timely project information within JRC’s project management systems
• Support the estimating and preconstruction teams when project knowledge or operational input is needed
• Represent JRC professionally with clients, partners and the construction community

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture or a related field preferred
• 5+ years of commercial construction project management experience preferred
• Experience managing projects for a general contractor or construction manager
• Strong understanding of commercial construction means, methods, sequencing and documentation
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
• Experience managing project budgets, cost reports, change orders and financial forecasting
• Strong scheduling, organization and time-management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to build productive relationships with owners, design professionals, subcontractors and field personnel
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced construction environment
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make informed decisions
• Proficiency with construction management and Microsoft Office software; experience with Procore or similar platforms is a plus

What Success Looks Like

A successful JRC Project Manager keeps the entire project team connected. You know where the project stands financially, what is happening in the field, what decisions are needed next and where potential issues could affect the job.

You communicate early, follow through on commitments and work collaboratively with the Superintendent and project team to keep the project moving forward.

Most importantly, you take ownership of your projects and understand that a successful build is about more than delivering the work. It’s about delivering a positive experience for the client and the entire project team.
