The Role
As a Project Manager, you are responsible for project budget, contracts, and coordination from preconstruction through completion. You lead budget development, procurement, and management of project cost and scope, and serve as the primary point of contact for the client and design team.

· Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, and consultants.
· Support overall project quality and coordination in partnership with the Superintendent.
· Coordinate project closeout, including financial reconciliation and final documentation.
What We're Looking For
· Strong understanding of residential construction systems, sequencing, and cost drivers.
· Ability to read and interpret construction documents and identify scope gaps and risks.
· Strong financial management and cost control skills.
· Clear, professional communication with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams.
· Organized, proactive approach to managing multiple priorities and project details.
· Comfort using email, scheduling tools, and digital project management systems.
