Field Project Manager

Summary

GRE represents owners on commercial and institutional construction projects, protecting their budget, schedule, and quality interests from planning through closeout. The Field Project Manager is GRE's eyes and hands in the field — rotating across active sites to verify progress against plan, surface problems early, drive vendors and contractors to solutions on site, and report findings back to the project team in a clear, consistent format.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct regular on-site visits across multiple active projects, with a recurring presence at each site according to its phase and risk.
• Assess actual progress against the project schedule and budget; flag slippage, cost exposure, and constraint conflicts before they escalate.
• Identify field issues, quality, sequencing, access, safety, coordination — and work directly with on-site vendors, trades, and the GC to develop and confirm solutions.
• Produce a written site-visit report after each visit, including observations, a prioritized action-item list, owners of each item, and target dates.
• Report status and action items back to the supervising Project Manager / Principal on a defined cadence; escalate items requiring owner decisions.
• Directly coordinate solutions with Architects, Engineers, Contractors and Clients.
• Track open action items to closure across visits; maintain continuity so nothing falls between site trips.
• Verify that vendor/contractor work in place matches contract scope, drawings, and approved changes; document discrepancies with photos and notes.
• Support GRE PMs on field-dependent inputs to pay-app review, change-order validation, and schedule recasts.
• Represent GRE professionally on site as the owner's advocate while maintaining productive working relationships with all parties.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in construction field supervision, superintendence, owner's rep field work, or comparable site-based project oversight.
• Ability to read construction documents (architectural, structural, MEP) and reconcile field conditions against them.
• Working command of project schedules and cost/budget concepts sufficient to spot and articulate variances.
• Strong written reporting skills — concise, organized, action-oriented site reports without hand-holding.
• Comfort holding vendors and contractors accountable on site while keeping problems moving toward resolution.
• Self-directed; reliable behind the wheel and on the road 4 days/week, including periodic multi-day trips (e.g., Western PA).
• Valid driver's license and clean record (company vehicle provided).
• Proficiency with standard tools (email, Excel, photo documentation, and a project/reporting platform).
• Construction management, engineering, or trade background preferred; OSHA 30 a plus.

What GRE Provides

• Company vehicle for site travel.
• Travel and lodging covered for out-of-area trips.
• Direct line to ownership and a lean, decision-fast team.
• Health Benefits and 401k eligibility after 6 months of employment.
