Job Description
Join a Team That Builds with Purpose
We are an established General Contractor and Developer seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our growing team. With a robust pipeline of work ahead, you'll take the lead on dynamic projects ranging from $250K to $30M+, translating vision into reality by effectively balancing budgets, schedules, teams, and client expectations.
This full-time, Monday–Friday role occasionally requires weekend hours based on project needs and timelines. The focus is on the pre-construction and construction phases—project acquisition is handled by other members of our team.
You’ll divide your time between the office and job sites, providing essential leadership and decision-making. If you have experience managing HUD and IHDA projects and thrive in a fast-paced, solution-driven environment, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do

- Coordinate with architects, engineers, and stakeholders to define/modify scope
- Forecast labor, materials, and equipment needs
- Adjust schedules proactively to avoid delays
- Create and manage project budgets
- Track expenses and control costs throughout the project lifecycle
- With Synergy leaders, approve invoices and change orders
- Ensure financial accountability and profitability
- Supervise and manage subcontractors and construction crews
- Delegate tasks and monitor performance
- Resolve conflicts and maintain team morale
- Ensure everyone understands project goals and expectations
- Ensure adherence to building codes, permits, and legal regulations
- Maintain OSHA compliance and enforce safety protocols
- Conduct regular site inspections and address hazards immediately
- Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, vendors, and internal teams
- Provide regular updates and status reports
- Communicate technical details clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Manage expectations and build trust
- Monitor construction quality and ensure standards are met
- Identify potential risks and implement mitigation strategies
- Handle disputes and unexpected challenges with professionalism
- Draft and manage contracts with subcontractors and suppliers
- Maintain accurate project documentation and records
- Oversee permits, licenses, and inspections
Experience
- 10+ years in building construction, including 7+ years in a project management role
- Experience with HUD/IHDA compliance strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of both residential and commercial construction
- Strong business and financial acumen
- Exceptional communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
- Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple tasks independently
- Proficient in MS Office, Outlook, and project management software (Sage/Master Builder)
- Bachelor’s degree (BSc/BA) in Engineering, Building Science, Construction Management, or a closely related field
- OSHA 30 certification strongly preferred
- Construction PMP Certification a plus
