Project Manager Construction at ClearVista in CA-San Diego-92126

Job description

• LIGHTWORKS is looking for a highly organized, confident and ambitious Project Manager to help lead complex, high-end residential construction projects.
• This role is ideal for someone early in their construction-management career who has strong communication and planning skills, has been exposed to multi-million-dollar residential projects, and is ready for greater ownership.
• You may currently be a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager or Project Manager working for a luxury residential builder or General Contractor.
• What matters most is your ability to bring structure, communication, accountability and forward planning to complicated projects.
• This is an opportunity to accelerate your development as a Project Manager.
• You will work with sophisticated builders, architects, designers, owners and technical specialists while gaining exposure to the complete lifecycle of complex residential projects.
• As you demonstrate your capability, the level of ownership you carry can grow with you.
• If your communication, planning, technology and organizational ability are ahead of your years of experience, we would like to hear from you.
• Tell us about the projects you have worked on, what you personally owned within them, and why you are ready for greater responsibility.

Responsibilities

• This is not an administrative Project Coordinator position.
• The Project Manager owns the project.
• From Sales handoff through completion and transition to Service, you will coordinate clients, builders, field teams, engineering, purchasing, accounting and internal resources around one clear project plan.
• LIGHTWORKS projects can include electrical, lighting, lighting control, motorized shades, AV, networking, security, energy management and integrated home technology.
• Building and maintaining project schedules and Gantt plans
• Working from Builder / GC master schedules
• Understanding milestones, dependencies and critical-path activities
• Planning 30 / 60 / 90 days ahead
• Coordinating procurement and long-lead materials
• Driving decisions and approvals
• Managing Change Orders
• Monitoring labor, materials and financial performance
• Coordinating billing based on project progress
• Managing inspections, commissioning, punch and closeout
• Keeping project information current across our software systems
• Where should we be? What happens next? What could stop us? Who owns it?
• You will work directly with General Contractors, Architects, Interior Designers, Owners, Owner's Representatives, Superintendents, Consultants, Subcontractors, field teams and engineers.
• We are looking for someone with an exceptionally strong communication style.
• You should be comfortable walking into a construction meeting, understanding what matters, documenting decisions, assigning actions and following through.
• You communicate early, write clearly, ask good questions and can hold people accountable while maintaining strong relationships.
• This is not an accounting role, but you must understand the commercial health of your projects.
• You will develop responsibility for contract value, project margin, labor budgets, materials, Change Orders, billing, forecast versus actual performance, profitability and risks to margin.
• Are we delivering what we promised, are we on schedule, and are we doing it profitably?

Requirements

• A degree in Construction Management or a closely related discipline, or
• PMP certification
• Experience in high-end residential construction is strongly preferred.
• You must also be extremely computer literate and comfortable learning new software quickly.
• We are not simply looking for someone who knows Procore, Textura or another standard construction platform. LIGHTWORKS uses multiple project-management, business and proprietary software systems, so you must be naturally comfortable with technology, data, digital workflows and learning unfamiliar platforms.
• You do not need experience with residential technology systems. We can teach you our products and systems.
• What is harder to teach is the ability to plan ahead, communicate clearly, organize complexity and get things done.
• The ideal candidate has worked on or helped manage complex, multi-million-dollar residential construction projects.
• You may have supported an experienced Senior PM and now be ready to take the next step.
• We are looking for exposure to areas such as project planning and scheduling, construction drawings, owners and design teams, subcontractors, Change Orders, budgets, SOVs, procurement, field coordination, punch and closeout.
• We do not expect someone early in their career to have mastered all of these.
• We do expect you to be organized, curious, technologically confident, accountable and capable of learning quickly.
