Full Job Description

Run the build. Own the outcome.

JKM Building & Renovations is a family-owned general contracting firm specializing in urban residential renovation and full gut rehabilitation in Jersey City and across Hudson County. We run multiple complex projects at once, hold ourselves to a high standard of craft, and work in a dense, historic, heavily permitted environment where coordination and follow-through make or break a job.

We're hiring a Construction Manager to take ownership of our operations and run the day-to-day from the field. This is the senior operations seat at JKM. When ownership is off-site chasing the next project or focused on strategy, you're the one in charge — and we want to be able to step back with full confidence that the work is moving, the crews and subs are directed, the inspections are passing, and nothing is slipping. That confidence is the entire point of this role.

This is a field job for someone with an ownership mentality. You'll be on sites, in the drawings, and on the phone with subs and inspectors every day. You'll lead our superintendent and in-house carpentry crew, make the calls that keep four to five concurrent jobs moving, and answer for the results.

What You'll Own

Operations across the portfolio. Run every active project day to day, from rough-in through closeout. Keep all jobs moving and catch problems before they become delays, cost overruns, or callbacks.
Field leadership. Direct and develop the site superintendent and in-house carpenters. Set clear daily and weekly direction, hold the standard, and make sure the field has the information and materials to execute.
Labor and crew management. Allocate the in-house carpentry crew across all active jobs, approve timesheets, manage field-staff performance, and play a lead role in hiring and onboarding new field labor.
Schedule execution and sequencing. Work with the office on project scheduling — you run the field to the schedule rather than building it yourself. Sequence trades, stay ahead of long-lead procurement, coordinate inspections, and keep the office updated on any delays or problems affecting the critical path so the schedule can be adjusted.
Subcontractor and vendor management. Order the materials needed on site, hold subs accountable to their commitments and their quality, and manage trade performance across all jobs.
Budget and margin protection. Track project costs against budget, manage change orders in the field, monitor committed vs. actual, and make the decisions that protect our margin. Surface variances early with a plan.
Permitting and inspections. Stay ahead of the permitting and inspection process in NJ and local jurisdictions, including Historic Preservation Commission coordination where applicable. Keep approvals in front of the work.
Drawings and coordination. Read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings. Run trade coordination, catch conflicts before they hit the field, and manage RFIs and submittals with the architect.
Site logistics. Manage deliveries, material staging, dumpsters, parking, and neighbor relations — keeping tight urban job sites in Jersey City's historic blocks running smoothly and considerately.
Quality and standards. Own the standard of work on every job. Hold the crew and subs to it, and make sure what gets built holds up.
Safety and compliance. Own the site-safety program — toolbox talks, OSHA compliance, hazard control, and incident response and documentation — and keep every job site clean, safe, organized, and compliant.
Punch and closeout. Drive each job through punch list, final inspections, and closeout, and manage any post-completion callbacks or warranty work so jobs finish clean.
Reporting to ownership. Keep ownership informed on a set cadence — weekly progress,

cost-to-complete forecasts, and early flags on anything off schedule or over budget — so the operation runs without day-to-day oversight.

Office handoff. Feed our external project management firm — which handles owner correspondence, billing, and estimating — the accurate, timely field information they need. You run the build; they handle the paperwork with ownership.

What We're Looking For

7+ years managing residential construction, with substantial hands-on experience in renovation and full gut rehabilitation. New-construction-only or purely office-based backgrounds are not a fit.
A proven track record running multiple projects at once and being the person ultimately accountable for delivery — not a coordinator who escalates everything upward.
Genuine field leadership ability. You can direct a crew and a superintendent, earn the respect of trades, and make confident decisions on the ground.
Strong command of scheduling, sequencing, and cost control.
Fluent reading architectural and MEP drawings and coordinating trades from them.
Experience in dense urban environments and with municipal permitting and inspection processes; NJ / Hudson County experience and familiarity with historic district requirements are strong pluses.
Comfortable running projects digitally with construction management software (we use Buildertrend).
Direct, organized, accountable, and trustworthy. The whole role rests on us being able to hand you the keys and step away.
Valid driver's license and reliable daily presence across job sites in and around Jersey City.

Compensation & Benefits

$120,000 to $140,000 base salary, commensurate with experience.
Performance bonus targeting 10–20% of base, tied to on-time and on-budget project delivery.
Vehicle / mileage allowance for daily travel across job sites.
10 days paid time off, plus public holidays.

This is a long-term leadership seat with real authority and the autonomy to run the operation as your own.

Pay: $120,000.00 - $140,000.00 per year

Cell phone reimbursement
Paid time off
