Construction Project Manager

About the Role

Nimble is looking for a Construction Project Manager to lead the buildout and retrofit of warehouse fulfillment center sites that house our automation systems. You'll own projects from pre-construction through hand off to our operations team, coordinating contractors, engineers, and internal teams to deliver facilities on schedule and on budget. This role is a strong fit for a PM with hands-on warehouse or commercial construction experience who's comfortable managing multiple active sites and a fast-moving construction schedule.

• Manage construction projects for new warehouse buildouts and existing facility retrofits from design through completion and closeout.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and scopes of work; track progress against milestones and flag risks early.
• Act as the general contractor on assigned sites, serving as the primary point of contact for subcontractors, architects, and engineers.
• Organize and run project meetings as needed, including kickoffs, progress check-ins, and coordination meetings with contractors and internal teams.
• Work closely with internal departments across the project, holding them accountable to their commitments and proactively pushing to keep deliverables on track to meet deadlines.
• Conduct regular site visits and walkthroughs to monitor quality, safety compliance, and schedule adherence.
• Own the permit submission process from start to finish: work with PEs (Professional Engineers) to design and produce stamped drawings, meet directly with AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) to review requirements, submit complete permit packages, and coordinate inspections through approval.
• Support vendor and contractor bidding, selection, and contract negotiation.
• Maintain clear, consistent project documentation and status reporting for internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Identify and resolve conflicts between construction scope and operational or automation requirements.
• Respond to and resolve issues raised by onsite contractors, working quickly with the right stakeholders to keep work moving without delaying the schedule.
• Work with Accounting to create and process purchase orders for vendors and contractors.
• Manage smaller-scope projects independently: identifying issues, collaborating with engineering to develop solutions, and driving each project through to completion.
• Coordinate with existing warehouse operations teams to schedule installations and retrofits.

• 3–7 years of experience as a Project Manager in commercial, industrial, or warehouse construction.
• Demonstrated experience managing projects independently, from pre-construction through closeout.
• Working knowledge of construction documents, budgets, schedules (e.g., MS Project or similar), and contract structures (AIA, GC/CM, or similar).
• Ability to read and interpret full construction drawing sets, including architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and civil drawings.
• Familiarity with building systems relevant to warehouse environments; electrical, mechanical, structural, and fire/life safety.
• Strong organizational and communication skills; comfortable managing multiple contractors and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Travel is expected and will be important to maintaining an active presence onsite throughout the project lifecycle.

• Hands‑on technical construction skills and comfort using hand and power tools.
• Experience with fulfillment center, distribution center, or automated warehouse buildouts.
• Exposure to robotics, automation, or MHE (material handling equipment) integration timelines.
• OSHA 30‑Hour certification.
• Experience working directly with landlords, developers, or third‑party logistics (3PL) operators.
