Senior Project Manager

Senior Project Manager

Location: Houston, TX (Primarily Office-Based)

Industry: Commercial Construction – Amenity centers, Parks, & Large-Scale Outdoor Environments

Salary Range: $110,000 – $150,000 (DOE)

Position Overview

Our client is a premier construction firm specializing in the end-to-end execution of Amenity Centers and large-format park projects. We are seeking a Senior Project Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-project environment.

Unlike "upstream" land development or residential roles, this position requires a leader with a deep "boots-on-the-ground" understanding of commercial construction details. You will be responsible for leading project teams, managing complex master schedules, and serving as the technical bridge between the field and the client. You will be supported by a Project Coordinator, allowing you to focus on high-level strategy, stakeholder management, and ensuring every project is executed with technical precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Multi-Project Leadership: Oversee the full lifecycle of multiple Amenity Center and large-scale park projects simultaneously.
• Technical Oversight: Provide direction across active projects, ensuring you can speak intelligently on technical details from drainage and civil work to vertical building alignment.
• Scheduling & Execution: Maintain and update master project schedules, proactively identifying potential "stagnation" or bottlenecks before they impact the timeline.
• Client & Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for owners and architects; lead Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meetings with confidence and clarity.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate closely with Construction Managers, Superintendents, and subcontractors to ensure field execution aligns with project plans.
• Operational Excellence: Manage project documentation and reporting in tandem with a dedicated Project Coordinator.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of Project Management experience specifically within the Commercial Construction sector (Small to Mid-sized GCs preferred).
• Proven track record of managing multiple complex projects ($5M–$20M+) at once.
• Commercial GC Background: Experience in a General Contracting environment where you have managed various trades and complex scopes of work.
• Strategic Problem Solver: Ability to anticipate issues before they arise and lead a team through technical challenges.
• Strong Communication: Must be able to "pitch" project plans to internal teams and lead high-stakes client meetings.
• Education: Bachelors degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field is preferred.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience with Amenity Centers, Large-Format Parks, or sophisticated Site Work/Civil projects.
• Background in Civil/Drainage or Concrete-heavy projects is a significant plus.
• Ability to manage projects involving "buildings" (vertical construction) without needing a specialist for every detail.
• A "proactive" rather than "reactive" management style—hustle and attention to detail are paramount.
