Visual Project Manager information

What is a Visual Project Manager?

A Visual Project Manager is a professional who oversees projects with a strong emphasis on visual communication, design elements, and creative workflows. They coordinate teams, timelines, and resources to ensure visual projects—such as graphic design, multimedia, or branding initiatives—are delivered on time and meet client expectations. Visual Project Managers bridge the gap between creative and operational teams, using tools and methodologies that help visualize progress, tasks, and project goals. Their role often includes managing budgets, facilitating collaboration, and ensuring that visual standards are maintained throughout the project lifecycle.

How does a Visual Project Manager typically collaborate with creative teams during a project lifecycle?

Visual Project Managers work closely with designers, illustrators, and other creative professionals to ensure that project objectives align with visual standards and brand guidelines. They facilitate regular check-ins, provide clear briefs, and help translate client or stakeholder feedback into actionable tasks for the creative team. This role often serves as the communication bridge between creative staff and other departments, helping to resolve challenges related to timelines, resources, and creative direction. Effective collaboration is essential for delivering cohesive visual projects on schedule and within scope.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Visual Project Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Visual Project Manager, you need strong project management skills, a solid understanding of visual design principles, and experience with creative workflows, often supported by a degree in design, communications, or project management. Familiarity with project management tools like Asana or Trello, as well as design software such as Adobe Creative Suite, is typically required. Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities help in coordinating creative teams and managing client expectations. These skills and qualities ensure that visual projects are delivered on time, align with client goals, and maintain high creative standards.

Job description

At Gardner, commercial construction should feel as welcoming as it is professional. That's why we don't just build construction projects, we build relationships, rooted in hospitality. Our mission is to set the platinum standard for our clients, partners, and team members by delivering exceptional results while embodying our core values: passion, humility, excellence, empathy, and nimbleness. We bring a hospitality-driven approach to every project, ensuring every interaction is thoughtful, responsive, and human-centered.
You must be currently legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H1B status, 0-1, TN, CPT, OPT, etc.). We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
This position calls Minneapolis, MN or Milwaukee, WI home. If you're not local but this role is speaking to you, don't let that stop you from applying. We're open to candidates from other markets and will offer relocation assistance for the right fit.
Who You Are
You're a builder, leader, and trusted advisor who thrives in environments where relationships matter as much as results. You are motivated, proactive, and adaptable, with a track record of delivering highly technical projects where precision and communication are critical. You enjoy collaborating with designers, trade partners, and clients, and you bring both humility and confidence to your leadership style. You're excited about growing Gardner's Mission Critical market and are committed to providing platinum standard hospitality at every step of the project lifecycle.
You're nimble. You can move, adapt, and lead in any environment, which means you're ready to work across more than one market focus. Alongside mission-critical work, you could find yourself contributing to Commercial Interiors, Education, Industrial, Healthcare, Historic Repositions, and Science & Technology projects. For you, that range isn't a stretch. It's how you build a career, not just buildings.
How You'll Contribute
Project Leadership
  • Lead project teams through all phases of construction, from preconstruction to closeout.
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with clients, trade partners, and design teams.
  • Represent Gardner's mission and vision in proposal presentations and market development efforts.

Project Execution
  • Manage owner contracts, subcontracts, and financial aspects, including bidding, estimating, change orders, pay applications, and invoicing.
  • Lead weekly project and procurement meetings to drive communication and alignment.
  • Resolve project issues quickly and professionally, mobilizing the right resources as needed.

Closeout & Growth
  • Ensure successful project closeout by overseeing punch list completion, implementing project closeout checklists, and final billing.
  • Leverage existing relationships and generate project leads within the owner and design communities.
  • Contribute to strategies for future market growth and execute on defined goals.

What Success Looks Like
You'll know you're succeeding when:
  • Your projects consistently hit deadlines, budget goals, and quality standards.
  • Clients feel heard, supported, and eager to work with Gardner Builders again.
  • Your team trusts your leadership and grows under your mentorship.
  • You've built a reputation for integrity, clear communication, and results.

What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in construction management, construction engineering, or similar discipline.
  • Minimum 5 years of project management experience, preferably with a general contractor.
  • Successful completion of the FE exam (EIT certification is a plus).
  • Demonstrated experience leading Mission Critical projects, including data centers.
  • Working knowledge of general contracting and project lifecycle management.
  • Familiarity with the Last Planner System (LSP), LEAN Construction, and ASHRAE standards.
  • Understanding of Mission Critical electrical and HVAC system components.
  • Strong financial and business acumen, with the ability to confidently manage budgets, forecasting, and cost reporting.
  • Skilled in estimating and technical writing, with a sharp attention to detail.
  • Strong communicator, able to clearly convey information in verbal, written, and visual formats.
  • A collaborative and humble approach, with a focus on finding solutions and supporting the team.
  • Proficiency in construction management and scheduling tools such as Procore, Microsoft Project, Outbuild, and Bluebeam.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and make sound decisions independently in a fast-paced environment.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and adaptable, with an ability to stay one step ahead and pivot with purpose when needed.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, with a team-first mindset and a strong sense of accountability.
  • Comfortable working with Apple devices and Google Workspace (or ability to learn).
  • Valid driver's license and the ability to maintain a satisfactory Motor Vehicle Record.
  • Willingness to travel outside the Twin Cities metro (please describe your expectations when applying).

What Will Set You Apart
  • Proven track record of successfully delivering projects with Mission Critical systems.
  • Strong technical expertise in highly complex electrical and HVAC systems.
  • A hospitality-driven mindset.

Physical Demands & Work Environment
This is an in-person position, located at our office downtown Minneapolis, or in Milwaukee, WI, with most of your time spent in an office setting, collaborating with teammates and working on a computer. You'll also visit active jobsites to stay connected with the work in the field. That may include walking on uneven ground, being outdoors in changing weather, or stepping into areas with dust or noise. You'll also travel to client sites, conferences, and other business meetings. The role involves typical office activities such as typing, writing, as well as sitting for stretches of time during meetings or travel. Occasionally, you may need to move light materials or equipment (up to about 20 pounds). We are committed to supporting individuals with disabilities and can provide reasonable accommodations to help you perform at your best.
