Take the lead. Raise the standard. Build your future.
You’ve spent at least five years in construction management or owner’s representation. You know how to challenge a budget, hold a project team accountable, and move a difficult decision forward. You’re ready for greater responsibility—and the opportunity to help shape a growing firm.
Building Solutions is looking for a Project Manager who brings ownership, ambition, and the confidence to lead.
Bring your judgment. Speak up when something isn’t right. Follow through until it is. Your growth here should reflect the results you deliver, the trust you earn, and the opportunities you help create.
The mission: Journey + Results
Construction is a major investment for our clients. They count on us to protect their interests and guide them through decisions that will affect their organizations for years.
We measure success through Journey + Results: a better client experience supported by clear communication, strong leadership, and measurable financial value. We reduce errors, improve decisions, and drive performance from initial planning through final handoff.
What you’ll own
- Budget and schedule: Track, manage, and report overall project performance. Identify risks early and drive corrective action.
- Client leadership: Give owners clear updates, direct recommendations, and the information they need to make confident decisions.
- Team accountability: Lead coordination among designers, contractors, consultants, and vendors. Hold team members to their contractual commitments and performance expectations.
- Document review: Examine drawings, specifications, narratives, and supporting information. Challenge gaps, unclear scope, and coordination issues before they become costly problems.
- Cost and contract negotiations: Evaluate and negotiate material, equipment, and labor costs, along with project team contracts and agreements.
- Procurement: Develop and lead RFP processes. Manage furniture, fixtures, and equipment procurement and coordinate delivery with the project.
- Execution: Set weekly priorities and assignments that keep resources focused and work moving.
- Closeout: Drive completion, documentation, and a coordinated handoff to the client’s facility management team.
What you bring
- At least five years of construction management or owner’s representative experience.
- A record of taking responsibility, solving problems, and following through.
- The ability to lead difficult conversations, negotiate effectively, and earn the confidence of clients and project teams.
- Strong written and verbal communication. You can turn complex issues into clear decisions and next steps.
- The discipline to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and maintain high standards under pressure.
- The judgment to work independently, recognize when an issue needs attention, and act.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Bluebeam, and Google Sheets.
- A bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Business Management, or a related field.
- A commitment to developing your expertise through continued education, professional relationships, and industry involvement.
Bring ambition—and back it up.
We want someone who asks better questions, sees what others miss, and takes action. Someone who cares about the client’s experience as much as the final outcome. Someone ready to grow as a project leader and contribute to the future of Building Solutions.
- If you’re ready to take on more, make your case. Apply with your resume and a brief description of a project where your leadership made a measurable difference.
