Why is This a Great Opportunity?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role within a stable, employee-owned industrial construction organization that values long-term thinking, accountability, and shared success. The role offers meaningful ownership over complex projects, direct influence on business outcomes, and a clear path for advancement into senior leadership.

The organization operates with a strong people-first philosophy and invests heavily in safety, collaboration, and professional growth. Employees benefit directly from the company’s performance through an employee ownership structure, competitive compensation, and comprehensive benefits. This position is well suited for a seasoned project manager who enjoys autonomy, values relationships, and wants to contribute at both a project and organizational level.


Job Description:

The Senior Project Manager is responsible for leading industrial construction projects from early planning and client engagement through execution and closeout. This role partners closely with internal project teams and experienced field personnel to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and aligned with client expectations.

Key responsibilities include overseeing project scope, cost, schedule, quality, and risk while maintaining strong communication with clients and internal stakeholders. The Senior Project Manager leads regular project meetings, reviews financial performance, approves invoices and labor, and ensures accurate tracking of labor and material costs.

This role requires active jobsite engagement to verify safety compliance, staffing levels, and overall execution quality. The Senior Project Manager also plays an important role in estimating and preconstruction efforts, making informed decisions that balance quality, efficiency, and profitability.

Beyond project execution, this position serves as a trusted partner within the organization, contributing ideas for process improvement, mentoring team members, and supporting a collaborative, transparent work environment. The Senior Project Manager also acts as a key relationship manager, building long-term client partnerships that lead to repeat work and regional growth.

Projects vary in size and complexity, ranging from smaller time-and-materials service work to multi-million-dollar industrial construction projects. Work may involve acting as a general contractor, self-performing contractor, or subcontractor depending on project structure. Travel is limited and primarily regional, with occasional overnight trips.


Qualifications:

• 5–10+ years of progressive experience managing industrial or self-perform construction projects
• Demonstrated experience overseeing project budgets, schedules, safety, and client satisfaction
• Background in industrial construction, trades, or engineering preferred
• Ability to manage multiple project types, including service work and large capital projects
