Position Summary

Our client in Arizona is seeking an experienced construction Project Manager to oversee the delivery of a construction project on behalf of ownership.

Working as an extension of the owner, the Project Manager follows, understands, and helps manage every facet of the project—scope, schedule, budget, quality, safety, and compliance—and translates what is happening in the field into clear, timely guidance for ownership.

This is a management-and-advisory role: the Project Manager coordinates with the project team, monitors performance, identifies risks early, and makes well-reasoned recommendations, while keeping ownership fully informed so the owner can make confident, well-supported decisions.

This is an on-site position based out of our corporate office in Arizona; candidates should be local to Arizona and available for approximately 25% travel to active project sites.

Working Approach:

This role is built around informed advocacy for the owner rather than unilateral authority.

The Project Manager is expected to:



* Follow and understand the project deeply enough to explain, in plain terms, where it stands and where it is headed.


* Manage and coordinate with the project team—contractors, designers, consultants, and inspectors—to keep work moving and aligned with the owner's goals.


* Advise and recommend: frame the situation, lay out the options and trade-offs, and offer a clear recommendation on how to keep the project on schedule, on budget, and compliant.


* Confirm direction with ownership before acting.

The Project Manager advises and communicates on the owner's behalf but does not make—or unilaterally commit the owner to—major decisions; the guiding question is always, “Here is what I recommend and why; what would you like to do?”

Key Responsibilities:



* Contract & Project Administration


* Contract Compliance: Track that all parties adhere to contract terms—scope, schedule, and payment—and flag deviations early.


* Change Order Review: Assess change order requests for validity, cost, and schedule impact, and make a recommendation to ownership before any commitment.


* Claims & Dispute Mitigation: Identify potential contractual disputes early and work to resolve issues before they escalate into formal claims.


* Closeout: Confirm all obligations are met before final payments—punch list, lien releases, warranties, and as-built documentation.


* Quality & Compliance


* Specifications & Workmanship: Monitor that work aligns with drawin...
