This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Project Manager to join an established Capital Projects team in Chicago, delivering projects across banking, high-end insurance, corporate headquarters and manufacturing environments.

Projects range from tenant improvements and renovations through to major asset replacements, including VRF systems, chillers and boilers.

I am particularly interested in speaking with Project Managers from a strong General Contractor background who are looking for greater client exposure, project ownership and genuine career progression.

The Role

You will take ownership of complex capital projects from pre-construction through delivery and closeout, with accountability across budget, schedule, procurement, quality and risk.

Projects typically range from $200K to $4M, offering plenty of variety and technical complexity.

• Lead capital projects from planning through completion.

• Manage budgets, schedules, procurement, quality and risk.

• Lead pre-construction, bids, estimates and contractor selection.

• Manage design teams, contractors and third-party project resources.

• Maintain strong financial control, forecasting and change management.

• Manage contracts, scopes of work and purchase orders.

• Build strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders.

• Identify project risks and drive practical solutions.

• Lead project meetings and maintain strong oversight of delivery.

The Ideal Candidate

• 8+ years of construction / project management experience.

• Strong General Contracting background.

• Experience across renovations, TI and capital improvement projects.

• Strong MEP and building systems knowledge.

• Good commercial, financial and contract management experience.

• Strong client and stakeholder management skills.
