Construction Manager/ Foreman, Procurement / Purchasing
Senior Project Manager | General Contractor | Jackson, MS | $130,000 to $145,000 Base + Bonus
A well established general contractor in Jackson is looking for a Senior Project Manager to take on a portfolio of work across commercial, ground up, renovation, and historical restoration projects.
This is a full time, direct hire role with a builder that has been steady through every cycle and treats its people like the reason for it.
If you are tired of being a number at a large firm, or tired of chasing the next project at a shop that runs lean and hopes for the best, this is the other option.
Why people stay here- Real stability. Consistent backlog, long standing owner and repeat client relationships, and a company that has not had to make cuts when the market got soft
- You are trusted. You run your projects your way, with leadership available when you want them and out of your way when you do not
- Clear growth. This role sits directly under senior leadership, and the path to Director or VP of Construction is a conversation, not a fantasy
- Variety that keeps the job interesting. Ground up one year, a historical renovation the next, so you are not doing the same building on repeat until you retire
- A culture where people actually know each other. Small enough that your work is visible, big enough that you have real resources behind you
- Leading commercial, renovation, historical, and ground up projects from preconstruction through closeout
- Owning project financials, including budgets, forecasting, change orders, and monthly cost reviews
- Managing buyout, subcontracts, submittals, RFIs, and procurement
- Building and driving the project schedule alongside the superintendent and field team
- Serving as the main point of contact for owners, architects, and design teams
- Mentoring Project Managers, Assistant PMs, and Project Engineers, and helping build the next layer of the team
- Supporting business development through relationships and repeat client work
- 6+ years of project management experience with a general contractor
- Experience across multiple project types, with renovation or historical work a strong plus
- Comfortable owning full project financials on projects of meaningful size
- Someone who leads well, communicates plainly, and holds a team to a standard without burning it down
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field, or the field experience to match it
- Based in or willing to relocate to the Jackson, MS area
- $130,000 to $145,000 base depending on experience
- Annual performance bonus
- Vehicle or vehicle allowance, fuel, phone, and laptop
- Medical, dental, and vision
- 401k with company match
- Generous PTO and paid holidays
- Relocation assistance available for the right person
Good projects, a fair number, leadership that backs you, and a company that will still be here in twenty years. If that sounds like what you have been looking for, let's talk.
