Project Manager - Commercial Construction

Position Description

Bandy Constructors is seeking an experienced commercial construction Project Manager who is first and foremost a builder. This position is not intended for general project managers from other industries. We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of commercial construction means and methods who can confidently lead projects from preconstruction through closeout while partnering closely with field operations.

The ideal candidate understands how buildings are constructed—not just how projects are administered. They can review drawings and specifications, identify constructability concerns, coordinate subcontractors, anticipate field challenges, and make sound technical decisions that keep projects moving safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

This role requires regular collaboration with Superintendents, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and owners. Successful candidates are comfortable walking jobsites, discussing sequencing and installation details, resolving technical issues, and supporting field operations as much as managing contracts, budgets, and documentation.

Expectations & Goals

Through effective management and communication, develop long-term positive relationships with clients, design professionals, subcontractors, and vendors. Manage prime contract, subcontracts, purchase orders, and all project records to ensure contract compliance. Effectively coordinate all field operations; defend or prosecute legal proceedings; and manage project budgets, costs, and quality. Provide support to the Superintendent with regard to the project schedule.

A successful project will be one that:

• Meets or exceeds DLBC’s standards for quality
• Is completed on or before the scheduled or extended completion date
• Upon completion, the Owner, Architect, and Subcontractors will want to do business with Bandy Constructors again
• Meets targets for profitability
