We are seeking a Project Manager to join Fulcrum Construction’s team in our Long Beach office. We are looking for an ambitious individual that is fun to be around and can contribute to the culture and profitability of Fulcrum Construction.
As a Project Manager you’ll be managing commercial construction projects from bid process through certificate of occupancy. Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook and Project software) is a must. Bluebeam, PlanGrid and Timberline/Sage 300 CRE experience is a big plus.
For the right individual(s) the possibility exists for advancement to an executive role. Fulcrum Construction promotes from within.
The Project Manager is responsible for the overall direction, completion, and financial outcome of a construction project. He or she directs and supervises activities related to contract administration, change orders, submittals, procurement, project financial projections, and schedule requirements to ensure projects are completed on-budget, on-schedule meeting our clients’ demands and maintaining a safe work environment. You will have a great project administrator, superintendent, close out specialist, project accountant, and the rest of the company on your team throughout the project.
You’ll be expected to manage multiple projects at one time in various phases of development while meeting or beating established budget and scheduling goals. You’ll need to be very good at prioritizing and managing your time. Maintaining your cool under pressure, staying fluid and being flexible are desirable attributes.

Founded in 2003, Fulcrum Construction is a mid-sized General Contractor with a small company feel. Our home office is in Atlanta (GA) with regional offices in Long Beach (CA), San Antonio (TX), Portland (OR), and Medford (NJ).
Retail construction is our bread and butter (includes site work, ground up store/facility construction, tenant improvements and open store remodels). It’s where Fulcrum got started. Everything from $25,000 remodels to $30 million ground up projects and everything in between. Most projects are in the $500,000 to $10 million range with an 6-40 week duration.
As the retail landscape has changed so have we. Our office and industrial portfolio is growing. Convenience stores, fuel service stations, grocery stores and quick serve restaurants are now also part of our construction services.
What makes Fulcrum Construction different?
Fulcrum employees are taught to acknowledge mistakes and work as a Team to correct them. We don’t make excuses and we don’t shift blame. We acknowledge and fix them quickly and move on. Our customers really appreciate it too.
Our people are awesome!
Fulcrum Construction has one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. We hire great people, train them as needed and then get out of their way so they can do their jobs. No micro-managing. We value the time and sacrifices that our employees make for the success of Fulcrum Construction and we return the favor. When our employees go through hard times (we all do at some point) we stick by them. We are here to be of service to our employees and customers.
Take care of your employees and your employees will take care of your customers. It is that simple. We have a diverse group of customers that we’ve been working with for years. When we work with a new customer they usually become a repeat customer. We don’t miss deadlines and we strive to make our customers’ work lives easier.
Fulcrum Construction is an equal opportunity employer.
