Construction Project Manager (Field-Based) — Residential Exteriors
Service Area: Nassau County • Suffolk County • Brooklyn
We’re a high-end residential exterior contractor specializing in roofing, siding, windows, and doors throughout Nassau, Suffolk, and Brooklyn. Our reputation is built on clean jobsites, tight scheduling, premium installation standards, and a client experience that matches the quality of our work.
We’re hiring a hands-on, field-driven Construction Project Manager who leads from the front. This is not a desk-based PM role—you will be on-site daily, directing crews, controlling the jobsite, communicating with homeowners, and driving projects to profitable, on-time completion.
Role Focus (Exterior Specialization Required)
This role requires strong, relevant experience managing residential exterior projects, including:
- Roofing systems: shingles, flashing details, ventilation (ridge/soffit), underlayment/ice & water, leak prevention and punch-list closeout
- Siding systems: James Hardie, cedar, PVC, board & batten, trim/corner details, water management, and finish quality
- Windows & doors: installation oversight, flashing/waterproofing integration, water testing readiness, and clean interior/exterior protection
Field Expectations
- Be on-site daily to lead production, remove blockers, and keep crews/subs moving
- Control jobsite logistics: access, protection, safety, staging, debris management, and homeowner coordination
- Proactively identify issues before they become callbacks (details, transitions, water management, and finish work)
Communication Standard (Non-Negotiable)
- Provide daily homeowner communication: status, next steps, and any impacts to access, noise, or schedule
- Document updates, decisions, and changes clearly and professionally
- Protect the client experience—cleanliness, respect for property, and clear expectations are part of the job
Key Responsibilities
- Lead production in the field: manage field crews and set daily priorities; enforce quality and jobsite standards
- Scheduling & coordination: build and maintain look-ahead schedules; coordinate labor, materials, dumpsters, permits/inspections (as applicable), and access with the help of production manager
- Quality control inspections: perform staged inspections (tear-off/prep, flashing/waterproofing, install, punch list) to ensure manufacturer-level details and long-term performance
- Material ordering accuracy: verify quantities, colors, profiles, trim packages, and lead times; prevent delays and costly reorders (with support from the production team)
- Change order identification & execution: spot scope gaps/added work early; document clearly; price/coordinate approvals; execute without disrupting schedule
- Payment collection tied to milestones: confirm milestone completion, communicate with homeowners, and support timely collection per contract terms
- Job cost tracking & P&L accountability: track labor, material, and subcontract costs; protect gross margin; participate in weekly job reviews and close-out P&L for each project
- Problem resolution: handle site issues decisively—crew performance, material shortages, weather impacts, homeowner concerns, and detail corrections
- Documentation & closeout: maintain daily notes/photos, manage punch lists, and ensure the job is completed to standard before final sign-off
Success in this role is measured by:
- Project profitability (job cost control and disciplined change management)
- On-time completion and strong schedule recovery when conditions change
- Quality of installation (detail-driven work that reduces callbacks)
- Client satisfaction driven by daily updates and a professional jobsite experience
- Capacity to manage 3–5 projects simultaneously across Nassau, Suffolk, and Brooklyn
Requirements
- Field-first mindset: you prefer the jobsite to the desk and lead crews with clear direction and high
