A family-owned business with a diverse property portfolio in Wisconsin is hiring an ambitious professional to help lead its new construction. This project manager’s talents will prove essential to the success of new condos, apartments, senior residences and other assets in the years ahead. Noted for its focus on employee relationships and wellbeing, the company offering this role wants someone who can grow his or her skills across multiple projects over the long term while building on the organization’s reputation for high-quality construction and community service.
The project manager will lead work at new building sites from start to finish. This will begin with plan review and careful coordination with city officials during permitting and subsequent inspections. He or she will prepare or review scope-of-work documents for subcontractors and analyze the resulting bids.

Field supervision experience is required, as is familiarity with administrative duties that include estimating, scheduling and cost control. The nature of this job requires effective communication with co-workers across the organization, as well as clients, subcontractors and consulting professionals. The successful candidate will come to the job with a high level of energy and a talent for organizing competing priorities.
