Project Manager (Facilities) 2yrs

Modern Construction Services

Charlotte, NC • On-site

$150K/yr

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement

Re-posted yesterday

Job description

Modern Construction Services is growing fast, and our facilities work is moving faster. We are a certified WBENC women-owned commercial construction and facilities maintenance company, headquartered in Charlotte and serving clients nationwide. We need a Project Manager who can own a busy book of facilities projects from start to finish and keep all of them on track without letting anything slip.
Earning Potential: $150,000+ OTE in year one with a base salary up to $80,000 (experience-based), quarterly performance incentives, and an annual company performance bonus.
What you will do
  • Own facilities projects end to end: scope the work with the client, price it, line up the right labor, schedule it, and see it through to completion.
  • Keep a high-volume board moving, ramping toward 40+ active projects at once, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Be the daily point of contact for clients, subcontractors, and in-house technicians, with proactive updates and quick answers.
  • Build and manage the subcontractor bench: source, vet, and negotiate rates so the right partner is ready for every job.
  • Quote the work, collect approvals before anything starts, and keep every project detail current in the system.

This is your seat if
  • You thrive on variety and a full plate, and you keep the thread on all of it.
  • You work a system, document as you go, and close every loop.
  • You want your pay to reflect what you deliver.

Not your seat if
• You do your best work one project at a time.
• You want to be in the field most of the day. This is a desk-based coordination role.
• A high volume of shifting priorities rattles you.
Requirements
  • Two to five years managing projects, accounts, operations, or facilities. This is not an entry-level role.
  • Direct construction-side experience. We are a general contractor, and the background that translates comes from the construction provider side, ideally a smaller construction company doing facilities or higher-volume, smaller-dollar work. Owner's rep and property management are a different world than ours.
  • Strong with Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Outlook, and quick to learn a work order system such as Fexa or Corrigo.
  • High school diploma required. Trade school, an industry certification, or a college degree is a plus.
  • Calm under a high volume of moving parts, and able to reprioritize on the fly.
  • A clear, confident communicator who keeps clients steady even when the news is not good.

Benefits
  • Full benefits, including medical, dental, and vision, plus a 401k with 3% match.

This is a high-earning seat for someone who loves a fast pace, managing multiple projects, and closing every loop. If that is you, we would love to talk.
Modern Construction Services is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate every candidate.
