Senior Project Manager About Dick Building Company

Dick Building Company LLC is a trusted general contracting and construction management firm serving Western Pennsylvania and surrounding markets. Established in 2008 and built on four generations of industry experience and exceptional craftsmanship, we deliver technologically advanced solutions to meet the complex needs of our clients across healthcare, higher education, hospitality, multifamily, office, and retail sectors.

Our commitment to excellence and integrity is demonstrated by our people and the quality of our work. We maximize value for our clients through innovative project solutions, an unwavering work ethic, and deep construction expertise. With annual revenues of $40-50 million and projects ranging from $5M to $100M, we combine the agility and relationship focus of a family‑owned business with the sophistication and delivery excellence that complex projects demand.

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead complex, high‑profile construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. This is not a box‑checking role focused on administrative task management. This is a leadership position for someone who takes genuine ownership of project outcomes, thinks strategically about execution, and values building something meaningful alongside a collaborative team.

You will serve as the primary point of contact for clients, design teams, and trade partners on projects valued between $5M and $85M+. You’ll have the autonomy to lead your projects with strategic judgment, the resources and support of experienced leadership, and the trust to make decisions that impact real outcomes for real clients.

This role offers the complexity and responsibility typically found at much larger firms, with the direct access to leadership, entrepreneurial culture, and genuine appreciation for your work that only a family‑owned business can provide.
