Empire Paving – Cleveland, Ohio
Empire Paving is seeking an experienced, organized, and proactive Project Manager to oversee larger commercial paving and sitework projects from pre-construction through completion.
This position will serve as the primary link between our customers, estimating team, and field operations. The right person needs to understand construction, communicate professionally with customers, anticipate problems, and make sure our crews have the information they need before arriving on site.
Key Responsibilities
- Preview upcoming projects before mobilization and verify existing site conditions, access, phasing, quantities, drainage, traffic flow, and potential conflicts.
- Review plans, proposals, specifications, scopes, and job requirements for larger projects.
- Meet with customers, general contractors, property managers, engineers, and other project stakeholders.
- Serve as a primary customer contact throughout the project.
- Participate in pre-construction and project coordination meetings.
- Work closely with estimating and operations to ensure the field understands exactly what was sold and what is expected.
- Develop and communicate project phasing and sequencing.
- Identify potential problems before they impact production.
- Coordinate scheduling requirements with Empire’s operations team.
- Track project progress, scope changes, additional work, and change-order opportunities.
- Document site conditions and customer-directed changes.
- Help ensure projects remain on schedule and within the intended scope.
- Communicate delays, changes, access issues, and scheduling requirements with customers.
- Perform jobsite visits throughout larger projects to verify progress and customer satisfaction.
- Assist with project closeout, punch-list items, and final customer communication.
- Maintain strong relationships with customers and help generate repeat business.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in commercial paving, excavation, concrete, sitework, heavy civil construction, or general contracting preferred.
- Strong understanding of construction plans, specifications, quantities, and field operations.
- Ability to walk a project and recognize potential production or logistical problems.
- Excellent customer communication and interpersonal skills.
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple active projects.
- Comfortable working both in the office and in the field.
- Able to communicate effectively with customers, estimators, superintendents, foremen, subcontractors, and vendors.
- Strong sense of urgency and follow-through.
- Ability to make decisions and solve problems without waiting for someone else to take ownership.
The Person We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who takes ownership of a project.
When one of our larger jobs is scheduled, we want our Project Manager to already know the site, understand the scope, know the customer, recognize potential issues, and have a plan for how the project should flow.
The goal is simple: better preparation, better communication, fewer surprises, and smoother projects for both our customers and our crews.
