Commercial Interiors | Renovations | National Clients

We're partnering with a growing commercial construction firm that specializes in interior renovations, tenant improvements, facility upgrades, and high-volume rollout projects for nationally recognized clients across the retail, restaurant, corporate, and commercial sectors. This is an opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, relationship-driven organization where you'll have direct access to leadership, real influence on project success, and a clear path for long-term growth.

• Lead project schedules, budgets, procurement, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and overall project execution.
• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, superintendents, and internal teams to ensure projects remain on schedule and within budget.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, maintaining strong relationships and delivering exceptional customer service.
• Review plans, specifications, contracts, and construction documents to support project execution.
• Monitor project financials, forecasting, and cost controls throughout the project lifecycle.
• Conduct project meetings and proactively identify solutions to scheduling, field, and operational challenges.
• Partner closely with field teams to ensure safe, high-quality project delivery.
• Support estimating, budgeting, and value engineering efforts as needed.
• Maintain project documentation and reporting through project management software platforms.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience managing commercial construction projects, or strong Assistant Project Managers ready to take the next step into a PM role.
• Experience with commercial interiors, tenant improvements, renovations, refreshes, remodels, or fit-out projects.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong understanding of scheduling, budgeting, RFIs, submittals, and change order management.
• Experience coordinating subcontractors and maintaining client relationships.
• Ability to review and interpret construction drawings and contract documents.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, or similar platforms.
• Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field.
• OSHA 30 certification.
• Experience supporting retail, restaurant, corporate, facilities, or commercial interior construction projects.

Why Join?

• Opportunity to manage diverse projects for well-known national clients.
• Strong visibility to executive leadership and decision-makers.
• Clear career advancement opportunities in a growing organization.
• Autonomy, ownership, and the ability to make a direct impact.
• Mix of office and field exposure, with regional project involvement.

Ideal for a seasoned Project Manager seeking greater ownership or an ambitious Assistant Project Manager ready to step into a lead role.
