Company Overview:
We are a full-service general construction company with a proven track record in two of the most demanding sectors in the industry: healthcare facilities and financial/banking institutions where physical security, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity are non-negotiable. Our clients trust us because we understand that a construction mistake in their environment isn't just a budget problem — it can compromise patient safety, regulatory standing, or the security of information and assets.
Position Summary:
The Construction Project Manager (PM) leads assigned projects from pre-construction through final closeout — on schedule, on budget, and in full compliance with client security and cleanliness requirements. This role demands a professional who can seamlessly shift between the day-to-day construction management to exceptional client-facing customer service.
*This role is primarily home‑based but involves regular on‑site visits to job locations throughout California, Arizona, and Washington. Candidates must reside in Southern California and be willing to travel by car to job sites. Periodic in‑office work may be required based on business needs.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Planning & Delivery:
- Develop and maintain CPM project schedules (MS Project or Primavera P6) with milestones calibrated to client operational windows — including hospital infection-control phases and bank after-hours work restrictions.
- Build and manage detailed project budgets; forecast cost-at-completion weekly and present variance analysis to leadership and clients.
- Lead pre-construction planning: phasing strategy, site logistics, subcontractor scoping, and long-lead procurement for specialty items such as laminar-flow systems, vault doors, and modular cleanroom panels.
- Drive on-time, on-budget project delivery while maintaining full compliance with client-specific security and cleanliness requirements at every phase.
Financial & Banking Facility Compliance:
- Coordinate all construction activity within active banking environments to ensure zero disruption to transactions, vault operations, or customer-facing services.
- Ensure construction meets UL 687 (vault construction), UL 291 (ATM/cash safes), and bank-specific physical security standards; coordinate third-party security inspections at required milestones.
- Collaborate with client security directors to schedule sensitive-phase work (vault installation, surveillance system tie-ins, alarm integration) during approved off-hours windows.
- Maintain chain-of-custody documentation for security hardware, access credentials, and surveillance equipment throughout the project lifecycle.
Client Management:
- Serve as the primary client point of contact throughout the project; provide structured weekly written status reports and facilitate OAC meetings.
- Translate facility operations, compliance, and security requirements into actionable scopes for the field team and subcontractors.
- Manage the change order process transparently: present cost and schedule impacts in writing for client approval before any work proceeds.
- Cultivate long-term client relationships that drive repeat business, referrals, and expanded scope opportunities.
Team & Subcontractor Management:
- Supervise field superintendents, project engineers, and assistant PMs; provide clear direction, performance feedback, and mentorship.
- Pre-qualify and manage subcontractors with demonstrated, verifiable experience in healthcare or financial construction — not just general construction.
- Conduct weekly coordination meetings; distribute minutes within 24 hours and hold all parties accountable to the schedule and compliance plan.
- Enforce OSHA safety standards and all client-specific safety and security protocols across all site personnel.
Documentation & Closeout:
- Maintain complete project records: RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily field reports, and security access documentation.
- Provide the Project Engineer with documents to complete closeout package: as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties, commissioning reports, UL certifications, and access credential de-provisioning records.
- Conduct structured lessons-learned reviews at project closeout to improve processes and capture institutional knowledge.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of commercial construction project management experience, with a minimum of 3 years on occupied healthcare and/or financial/banking and/or high-security facility projects.
- Demonstrated history of delivering projects on schedule and within budget in regulated environments.
- Familiarity with physical security construction standards relevant to banking.
- Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent) and scheduling software (MS Project or Primavera P6).
- Strong command of construction contracts, subcontract management, change order negotiation.
- Ability to pass background checks required by healthcare and banking clients, including criminal history and financial background screening.
- Valid driver's license; ability to travel to project sites up to 50%.
Preferred Qualifications:
- PMP (Project Management Professional) or CCM (Certified Construction Manager) certification.
- OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.
- Familiarity with FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities.
- LEED AP or WELL AP credential.
- Experience with pharmaceutical GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) construction environments.
Core Competencies:
- Client Accountability: Ownership of outcomes — budget, schedule, quality, and compliance — with no excuses.
- Regulated-Environment Fluency: Instinctively understands that the rules in these sectors exist for critical reasons and never shortcuts compliance.
- Proactive Communication: Surfaces problems early, presents solutions alongside issues, and keeps clients informed without being asked.
- Detail Orientation: Catches discrepancies in field conditions, submittals, and compliance logs before they become failures.
- Adaptability: Comfortable shifting protocols between a hospital wing renovation on Monday and a bank vault installation on Wednesday.
- Leadership Under Pressure: Maintains team composure and direction when operational constraints tighten timelines or scope changes rapidly.
Compensation & Benefits:
We offer a competitive package and positive work commensurate with experience and project complexity, including:
- Competitive base salary (DOE) with performance bonus tied to project delivery outcomes.
- Insurance reimbursement.
- Cell phone and technology.
- Paid time off and company holidays.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
