Project Executive

Most PMs manage projects. A Project Executive shapes them — the teams, the clients, the outcomes, and the direction of the company. We're looking for someone strategic, relationship-driven, and relentlessly accountable — a leader who raises the ceiling for everyone around them.

"The title is Project Executive. The real job is owning outcomes at every level — the project, the client, the team, and the business."

• Own the portfolio — multiple commercial projects, delivered safely, on schedule, on budget, to MCL standard, no exceptions.
• Lead full-cycle — preconstruction through closeout, as the senior point of accountability.
• Make the tough calls — on risk, resources, and people, and live with the outcomes.
• Control the numbers — cost, resource allocation, and margin across your portfolio.
• Build the bench — mentor PMs and superintendents into leaders who keep winning work.
• Grow the relationships — client relationships that generate repeat work and referrals.
• Win the work — lead pursuits, proposals, and interviews as the leader clients want.
• Your portfolio runs on schedule and on budget, with no surprises reaching leadership late.
• At least one client relationship has already turned into repeat or referred work.
• Leadership trusts your read on risk enough to bring you into pursuits and strategy early.
• Bachelor's in Construction Management or Engineering, plus 10+ years in commercial construction, including 5+ as a PM with full project accountability.
• A track record of client development — you generate repeat work because clients trust you.
• Comfortable leading pursuits, proposals, and presentations in front of owners and decision-makers.
• Deep familiarity with CMAR, Design-Build, GMP, and IPD — and the judgment to know which fits.
• Advanced leadership skills, exceptional communication, and strong project management / MS Office proficiency.

We hire for character as much as credentials — passionate, dedicated, thorough, and respectful, without exception.
