Project Manager (Facilities | GC / Contractor Side) Charlotte, NC • On‑Site / Hybrid After 6 Months • Travel •
5+ Years Facilities PM Experience | Multi‑Trade, Renovations, Rollouts
Modern Construction Services is a fast growing, certified WBENC women-owned commercial construction and facilities maintenance company based in Charlotte, NC. We are hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead our contractor-side execution: a hands-on leader who runs renovations, retrofits, and multi-trade projects, and coaches a small team of specialists who do the same. This is a general contractor side role, not an owner-side facilities job.
What you will do
-
Lead and coach a team of three to five Project Specialists who manage contractor-side execution, and step in when a project goes sideways.
-
Own GC-side execution on renovations, retrofits, and facility upgrades: review estimates and scopes, sequence the trades, and manage subcontractors and field personnel.
-
Get out to job sites across the US to validate work, resolve field-level issues, and keep multi-trade projects on schedule.
-
Qualify subcontractor estimates and validate scopes so problems get caught before they reach the field, not after.
-
Partner with Safety and Compliance to keep job sites safe, OSHA-compliant, and up to standard.
-
Track KPIs, tighten workflows, and keep data clean across platforms like Fexa, Avetta, Corrigo, and Coupa.
What it pays
-
On-target earnings of $175,000 or more, with real upside for strong performers.
-
A base of up to $95,000 depending on experience.
-
Quarterly bonuses tied to individual and team performance.
-
Annual company performance bonus.
-
Full benefits, including medical, dental, and vision, plus a 401k with 3% match.
This is your seat if
-
You are a contractor at heart who has run projects end to end and knows how the work comes together in the field.
-
You like leading a team and getting out to job sites, not managing from a desk.
-
You want your pay to reflect what you and your team deliver.
Not your seat if
-
Your background is owner-side, client-side, or provider-perspective facilities management.
-
You prefer capital planning, asset-lifecycle strategy, or preventive-maintenance programs over hands-on execution.
-
You would rather lead from a desk than be out at job sites.
-
You would rather run a single project than a team carrying several at once.
If you have built your career on the GC side and you are ready to lead a team that delivers, we would love to talk.
Modern Construction Services is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate every candidate on merit.
Requirements
What we are looking for
-
Five or more years of facilities project management on the contractor side. We are a general contractor. Owner-side, client-side, or provider-perspective facilities management is a different world than ours.

Two or more years supervising project teams.
-
Experience managing $1 million to $3 million construction projects.
-
Hands-on trade knowledge, with electrical or HVAC preferred.
-
A strong grasp of GC workflows, estimating, and sequencing, plus experience managing subcontractors and field personnel.
-
Comfortable in a fast-paced, execution-heavy environment, ideally you have run projects end to end or run your own construction business.
-
Preferred: PMP or equivalent, OSHA 10 (minimum), and CMMS experience (Fexa, ServiceChannel, Corrigo, Coupa, Procore).
Benefits
-
Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
-
Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
