Construction Project Management

At Chandos, we hire construction Project Managers & Project Directors who set the standard - technically strong, financially disciplined, and exceptional at leading people and projects. While we don’t have an open PM role today, we maintain a small, selective pipeline of individuals who genuinely align with our work, our values, and our approach to collaborative construction.

This posting exists for one purpose: If you’ve researched who we are, understand what we do, and believe you meet our bar, we invite you to introduce yourself.

We review every submission, but we only reach out when we see a clear match. If that alignment exists, we’ll connect for a conversation - now or in the future.
