- Review committed costs, invoices, and monthly budget reconciliations

- Establish and maintain CPM schedules across multiple projects
- Monitor project progress and provide clear visibility into budget and schedule performance
- Review and validate budgets for new projects before construction begins
- Support procurement and purchasing decisions
- Identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve project performance
- Work closely with field leadership, accounting, purchasing, design, and ownership
- Conduct job site visits and stay connected to project execution
- Help implement and improve project management systems and processes
- Build scalable processes as the company continues to grow
Requirements
- 10+ years of construction/project management experience
- Strong commercial, multifamily, or similar ground-up construction experience

- Highly analytical and detail-oriented
- Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
