Project Manager
REPORTS TO: President of New Construction or VP of Renovations
SUPERVISES: N/A
Icon Building Group is looking for a motivated, organized, and relationship-driven Project Manager to join our growing team. This position may focus on either custom new construction or residential remodeling, depending on the candidate’s experience and strengths.
We’re looking for someone who understands construction — but just as importantly, someone who is dependable, eager to learn, communicates well, takes ownership, and enjoys working with homeowners, trades, and a close-knit team.
You do not necessarily need years of Project Manager experience to be successful in this role. We are willing to train and develop the right person who has a strong foundation in construction and the drive to learn.
What You’ll Do
As a Project Manager, you’ll help guide residential construction projects from pre-construction through completion while keeping projects organized, moving forward, and delivering the level of quality our clients expect from Icon.
Responsibilities may include:
- Manage custom home and/or remodeling projects from start through completion
- Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, designers, and internal team members
- Develop, manage, and communicate project schedules
- Visit active job sites regularly and monitor progress
- Help ensure work is completed correctly, safely, and according to plans and specifications
- Anticipate scheduling issues and help solve problems before they impact the project
- Review project plans, selections, scopes of work, and specifications
- Coordinate material orders and deliveries
- Maintain strong communication with homeowners throughout construction
- Track project updates, changes, selections, and outstanding items
- Work with trades to maintain quality standards and timelines
- Assist with budgeting, proposals, purchase orders, and change orders as needed
- Conduct project walkthroughs and help manage punch-list completion
- Maintain organized project documentation
- Work collaboratively with Icon’s design, estimating, sales, and construction teams
Who We’re Looking For
The right person for this role is someone who:
- Is highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities at once
- Communicates clearly and professionally
- Takes initiative and follows through
- Is comfortable solving problems and making decisions
- Enjoys working with people and building relationships
- Can hold subcontractors accountable while maintaining positive working relationships
- Pays attention to the details without losing sight of the overall project
- Is comfortable working both in the office and in the field
- Is willing to learn Icon’s processes and approach to building
- Takes pride in delivering a great experience for the homeowner
Experience
Residential construction experience is strongly preferred, but we are open to candidates from a variety of construction backgrounds.
You may be a great fit if you currently work as a:
- Assistant Project Manager
- Project Engineer
- Construction Coordinator
- Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent
- Lead Carpenter
- Estimator
- Residential Construction Manager
- Remodeling Professional
- Skilled tradesperson looking to move into project management
Previous experience managing custom homes or high-end residential remodeling is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate.
A degree in Construction Management is helpful but not required. Relevant hands-on construction experience, organizational ability, communication skills, and willingness to learn are equally important to us.
Everyone in the company should always possess an ability to communicate well with others, should be positive and always willing to learn.
