Job Description

About Our Client

Check out the role overview below If you are confident you have got the right skills and experience, apply today.
Our client is a fast-growing Phoenix-based general contractor doing roughly $75M–$100M in annual revenue, with about 30% growth over the last 18 months. Their long-term vision is much bigger, but their focus stays the same: build great projects, develop great people, and create an environment where talented professionals enjoy coming to work.
They aren't trying to be the biggest contractor in the market. They're working to be the best place to work in the industry. That means they're selective about who joins the team and whether each hire is in the right seat to succeed.
The Opportunity
Our client is looking for a Project Manager who will take true ownership of their projects, from award through closeout.
This isn't a role for someone who manages paperwork or waits for direction. They want someone who can step into a project, understand what needs to happen, build a plan, and drive execution.You'll be supported by a strong project team, including Project Engineers and Coordinators. PMs here aren't expected to be a one-person army handling every procurement item, RFI, contract, and admin task. Instead, they lead the team, own the outcome, and make the people around them better.
The Two Things That Matter Most
1. Own Your ProjectsYou carry the project from setup and buyout through cost management, execution, change management, and closeout. You don't wait to be asked. You see it, own it, and drive it.
2. Develop Your PeopleOur client believes its best long-term growth comes from developing people internally. Your Project Engineers should get better because of how you lead them. You'll be expected to teach, coach, delegate, hold people accountable, and help build the company's next generation of Project Managers.
Both pillars carry equal weight in how PMs are evaluated.
What They're Looking For
Strong fit with a team-first, accountable, execution-driven cultureInterest in joining a company in a 5–10 year growth phaseFull ownership of projects from start to finishExperience leading and developing Project Engineers and CoordinatorsA team player with an execution mindsetSomeone who leads through the support structure rather than trying to do everything aloneSolid tenure with previous employersSomeone looking for a career, not just a job
What Sets Them Apart
The company's goal is to deliver top-tier construction service through a process that is predictable and enjoyable for everyone involved.
The Team: Aligned, accountable, and easy to work with, collaborating across every level with owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.Predictable Outcomes: On time, on budget, high quality. Disciplined planning, execution oversight, and transparent reporting mean no surprises.A Positive Experience: Clear communication, a solution-oriented mindset, and calm under pressure. How a project is delivered matters as much as what is delivered.
Built for the Long Term
This is a company that works on the business, not just in it. Leadership is deliberate about building the right structure as it grows: documented processes, clear accountability, the right people in the right seats, and a genuine commitment to developing its team. It also invests in the next generation of construction leaders through university partnerships and an internship program.
If you want a place where you can make an impact now and help shape what the company becomes over the next 5–10 years, this is worth a conversation.
