Project Executive (PX)
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 a Project Executive who is strategic, relationship-driven, and relentlessly accountable — someone who leads from the front and 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.

Your Day-to-Day Deliver at the Highest Level Oversee multiple concurrent commercial projects, ensuring every one is delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to MCL’s quality standard — no exceptions.

Guide owners, architects, and project teams from preconstruction through closeout, serving as the senior point of accountability throughout.

Make the calls that protect the project — on risk, on resources, on people — and own the outcomes that follow.

Champion MCL’s standards and processes across every team you touch; elevate the work, not just the metrics.

Drive financial performance across your portfolio: cost control, resource allocation, and margin protection at every stage.

Lead and Develop Your People Mentor and develop project managers, superintendents, and emerging leaders — build the kind of team that wins repeat work and grows careers.

Set the cultural tone: accountability, direct communication, and a standard of excellence that others rise to meet.

Partner with HR and leadership on recruiting, hiring, and career development to build depth across the organization.

Foster alignment across Safety, Quality, Accounting, and field teams so every project runs like a well-run business.

Drive the Business Forward Build and sustain long‑term client relationships that generate repeat work, referrals, and a reputation MCL can build on.

Lead pursuit strategies, proposals, and interview processes — and show up as the kind of leader clients want managing their project.

Contribute to company strategy, market growth and the long‑term direction of the business — this seat has a voice at that table.

The Right Fit You're a strong fit if you:

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or Engineering (Civil, Construction, Electrical, Mechanical, or Architectural preferred).10+ years of commercial construction experience, including 5+ years in a Project Manager role with full accountability for complex projects.

Proven track record in client development — you generate repeat work because clients trust you, not just your company.

Strong experience leading pursuits, proposals, and client presentations; you’re comfortable and effective in a room with owners and decision-makers.

Deep familiarity with integrated delivery methods: CMAR, Design-Build, GMP, IPD — and the judgment to know which approach fits the situation.

Advanced leadership skills — you develop people, hold high standards, and build teams that perform without needing to be managed.

Exceptional communicator: clear with clients, direct with teams, credible with ownership — every conversation moves things forward.

Highly proficient in project management software and Microsoft Office; comfortable with the operational and financial tools of a modern GC.Our Values We hire for character as much as credentials. These four traits define the people who succeed at MCL:

Passionate — you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.

Dedicated — you show up fully every day. When things get hard—and they will—you stay engaged.

Thorough — details matter. You don't hand…
