Project Manager (Commercial Construction)

Location: Indianapolis, Indiana

Compensation: $85,000-$110,000 base salary (depending on experience)

Employment Type: Full-Time

The Opportunity

A well-established specialty contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to oversee commercial drywall, metal framing, insulation, and interior construction projects throughout Central Indiana.

This organization has built a strong reputation for delivering professional, high-quality work for general contractors, developers, and builders across the commercial and multifamily construction markets. The company offers the stability and resources of a recognized regional contractor while maintaining a collaborative, team-oriented working environment.

This is an opportunity for a construction professional who understands how to manage projects from turnover through closeout, build productive relationships with general contractors and field teams, and take ownership of project financial performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage multiple commercial construction projects from initial turnover through final closeout
• Review contracts, scopes of work, drawings, specifications, schedules, and project requirements
• Coordinate closely with estimators, field leadership, superintendents, general contractors, vendors, and subcontractors
• Develop and maintain project budgets, cost projections, schedules, and manpower plans
• Manage submittals, RFIs, change orders, purchase orders, material procurement, and project documentation
• Track project costs, labor productivity, billing, collections, and overall financial performance
• Identify potential scope gaps, schedule conflicts, and cost exposures before they become larger project issues
• Participate in project meetings and maintain clear communication with clients and internal teams
• Support field leadership by ensuring materials, information, manpower, and decisions are available when needed
• Maintain strong client relationships and help position the company for repeat business
• Ensure projects are completed safely, on schedule, within budget, and according to quality expectations

Ideal Background

• Previous project management experience within commercial construction
• Experience with drywall, metal framing, ceilings, insulation, painting, interior specialties, or another self-performing specialty trade is strongly preferred
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and scopes of work
• Strong understanding of project cost control, forecasting, scheduling, change-order management, and billing
• Comfortable managing multiple active projects and competing priorities
• Strong organizational, communication, and client-management skills
• Ability to work effectively with both office and field personnel
• Proficiency with common construction-management and project-documentation platforms
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field is beneficial but not required with relevant industry experience

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

• Established contractor with a strong reputation in the market
• Consistent project activity across commercial and multifamily construction
• Opportunity to manage projects for respected general contractors, developers, and builders
• Collaborative environment where project managers work closely with experienced field and operational leadership
• Company culture centered on teamwork, integrity, commitment, quality, respect, and balance
• Long-term advancement potential within a growing organization
• Competitive base salary and benefits package
