Project Manager- 2 days WFH- Chicago, IL

Construction Project Manager | 2 Days WFH

Chicago, IL

$130,000–$155,000 base + 20% bonus + profit sharing

We’re partnered with a $400M general contractor that is adding a Project Manager to its Chicago team following continued growth across the Midwest.

This is newly created headcount backed by a strong project pipeline-not a replacement hire.

You’ll have full ownership of projects from preconstruction through closeout, with direct access to senior leadership and a clear opportunity to progress into a Project Executive position as the Chicago operation continues to expand.

The role will include:

• Leading projects from initial planning and preconstruction through final closeout

• Owning budgets, schedules, subcontractor buyout, cost forecasting and change management

• Managing relationships with clients, architects, consultants and subcontractors

• Partnering closely with the Superintendent to keep field and office operations aligned

• Leading and developing Project Engineers and Assistant Project Managers

• Identifying potential issues early and driving solutions before they affect the project

• Supporting client relationships and contributing to repeat business

Projects range up to $75M across multifamily, affordable housing, commercial interiors, retail, light industrial, education and healthcare. You’ll gain exposure to a broad range of work rather than becoming tied to one repetitive sector.

What makes the opportunity attractive:

• Two days working from home each week

• Clear progression from Project Manager to Project Executive

• Meaningful ownership and direct visibility with senior leadership

• Diverse projects ranging up to $75M

• Established contractor with more than 60 years in business

• Strong backlog and continued regional growth

Compensation and benefits:

• $130,000–$155,000 base salary

• 20% target annual bonus

• Profit sharing typically ranging from 10–15%

• $750 monthly vehicle allowance

• Four weeks of PTO

This would suit a Project Manager who can independently lead projects, confidently manage clients and project financials, and wants a genuine route into senior leadership without sacrificing flexibility.
