Commercial Construction Project Manager

RGZ Construction is looking for an experienced Commercial Project Manager to take ownership of our awarded projects from handoff through closeout.

You'll work closely with estimating, field leadership, and general contractors to keep jobs moving, costs in check, and clients satisfied. If you have a strong background in commercial subcontracting, know how to read a set of drawings cold, and aren't afraid to negotiate a change order aggressively, we want to talk to you.
