A nimble, tech- forward general contractor is scaling its nationwide footprint of ground- up and retrofit projects - ranging from quick service‐center refreshes to multimillion- dollar distribution hubs. To keep pace, the team needs a hands- on Project Manager Associate who can steer budgets, schedules, and stakeholder communication from pre- con through closeout. If you thrive in fast- moving, less- structured environments where your ideas reach executive ears the same day, this role is for you. This Role Offers: Company- paid medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, plus generous PTO. Direct access to the founder and a ten- person leadership team - your impact is visible, not buried in red tape. Exposure to a diverse project mix (retail, logistics, healthcare, industrial) and a modern Microsoft- based tech stack. Culture of accountability, autonomy, and continuous improvement - perfect for people who “own” their work. Focus: Scope & Budget Launch - Partner with senior PMs to set preliminary budgets, schedules, and procurement paths for projects ranging from rapid renovations to $8 M ground- ups. Daily Coordination - Liaise with superintendents, subcontractors, and client contacts to keep materials, permits, and information flowing ahead of the critical path. Cost & Document Control - Maintain cloud- based trackers for commitments, RFIs, change orders, and site photos- ensuring executives and clients always have accurate, real- time data. Bid Leveling & Awards - Compile and compare subcontractor proposals, highlight scope gaps, and draft clear award recommendations. Meeting Cadence - Drive kickoff, progress, and closeout sessions, capture action items, and close loops quickly. Process Innovation - Jump into special projects like building SOPs, cost databases, or template libraries that help the whole company work smarter. Skill Set: 3+ years in commercial construction with a GC or design- build firm, including estimating, coordination, or APM duties. Proven comfort working from limited drawings/permits- resourceful, not reliant on perfection. Strong communicator who treats vendors like customers and follows through without prompting. Proficient with Excel and modern construction- management / estimating platforms. Grit, professionalism, and solid tenure- candidates seeking long- term growth in an in- office role will excel About Blue Signal: Blue Signal is an award- winning, executive search firm specializing in various specialties.
