Full Job Description

Construction Project Manager / General Contractor

Build the Next Chapter of Our Businesses

We are a privately owned group of eight businesses with an exciting pipeline of projects, including new building construction, major renovations, tenant improvements, restaurant build-outs, facility upgrades, and ongoing capital improvements. Rather than hiring outside general contractors for every project, we're building an internal construction team led by someone who enjoys taking ownership from concept to completion.

We're looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager or General Contractor who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys both leading projects and being in the field. You'll oversee multiple commercial construction and renovation projects across our portfolio throughout the Chicago area and Wisconsin.

This is not a desk-only management position. We want someone who is equally comfortable reviewing plans, coordinating subcontractors, ordering materials, solving problems in the field, and, when needed, rolling up their sleeves to help keep projects moving.

What You'll Do

Lead commercial construction projects from planning through completion.
Manage new builds, building additions, renovations, remodels, tenant improvements, and facility upgrades across our portfolio of businesses.
Develop project scopes, budgets, schedules, and construction timelines.
Coordinate and supervise our in-house construction team across multiple active job sites.
Hire, schedule, and oversee subcontractors, specialty trades, and vendors.
Order materials, equipment, and supplies while controlling project costs.
Ensure projects remain on schedule, within budget, and meet quality expectations.
Read and interpret architectural plans, construction drawings, and specifications.
Coordinate permits, inspections, and project closeout.
Identify issues before they become problems and develop practical solutions.
Maintain organized documentation, project schedules, and budgets.
Jump in to assist with installations, punch lists, troubleshooting, or field work whenever necessary.
Foster a culture of accountability, craftsmanship, and teamwork.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience managing commercial construction projects or working as a General Contractor.
Strong knowledge of commercial construction methods, building systems, materials, and sequencing.
Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously.
Ability to read and interpret construction plans and specifications.
Experience managing budgets, purchasing materials, and scheduling subcontractors.
Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
Self-starter who takes ownership and solves problems independently.
Comfortable balancing project management responsibilities with hands-on field involvement.
Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the Chicago area and Wisconsin.

Preferred Experience

Commercial construction
Ground-up construction and new building development
Restaurant or hospitality construction
Clubhouses, recreation facilities, or mixed-use commercial properties
Tenant improvements and commercial remodels
Managing both self-performed work and subcontracted trades

What Success Looks Like

Projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.
Construction crews and subcontractors are organized, productive, and accountable.
Materials arrive when needed, minimizing delays.
Problems are solved quickly and proactively.
Finished projects reflect exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Team members respect your leadership because you're willing to lead from the front and do whatever it takes to move a project forward.

Why Join Us?

Unlike working for a traditional contractor where every project starts with finding the next client, you'll work exclusively for a growing family of eight established businesses that continually invest in their facilities. You'll have the opportunity to lead everything from ground-up construction to major renovations and ongoing improvements, making a lasting impact across a diverse portfolio of commercial properties.

If you enjoy building, creating, and improving spaces while leading projects from start to finish, we'd love to meet you. We're looking for someone who takes pride in quality work, keeps projects moving, and isn't afraid to jump in wherever needed to get the job done.
