Senior Project Manager (Facilities, GC / Contractor Side)

Charlotte, NC (On-Site; hybrid after 6 months), with regular travel to job sites across the US

Full-Time

Modern Construction Services is a fast growing, certified WBENC women-owned commercial construction and facilities maintenance company based in Charlotte, NC. We are hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead our contractor-side execution: a hands-on leader who runs renovations, retrofits, and multi-trade projects, and coaches a small team of specialists who do the same. This is a general contractor side role, not an owner-side facilities job.

What you will do

Lead and coach a team of three to five Project Specialists who manage contractor-side execution, and step in when a project goes sideways.
Own GC-side execution on renovations, retrofits, and facility upgrades: review estimates and scopes, sequence the trades, and manage subcontractors and field personnel.
Get out to job sites across the US to validate work, resolve field-level issues, and keep multi-trade projects on schedule.
Qualify subcontractor estimates and validate scopes so problems get caught before they reach the field, not after.
Partner with Safety and Compliance to keep job sites safe, OSHA-compliant, and up to standard.
Track KPIs, tighten workflows, and keep data clean across platforms like Fexa, Avetta, Corrigo, and Coupa.

What it pays

On-target earnings of $175,000 or more, with real upside for strong performers.
A base of up to $95,000 depending on experience.
Quarterly bonuses tied to individual and team performance.
Annual company performance bonus.
Full benefits, including medical, dental, and vision, plus a 401k with 3% match.

This is your seat if

You are a contractor at heart who has run projects end to end and knows how the work comes together in the field.
You like leading a team and getting out to job sites, not managing from a desk.
You want your pay to reflect what you and your team deliver.

Not your seat if

Your background is owner-side, client-side, or provider-perspective facilities management.
You prefer capital planning, asset-lifecycle strategy, or preventive-maintenance programs over hands-on execution.
You would rather lead from a desk than be out at job sites.
You would rather run a single project than a team carrying several at once.

If you have built your career on the GC side and you are ready to lead a team that delivers, we would love to talk.

Modern Construction Services is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate every candidate on merit.

Requirements

What we are looking for

Five or more years of facilities project management on the contractor side. We are a general contractor. Owner-side, client-side, or provider-perspective facilities management is a different world than ours.
Two or more years supervising project teams.
Experience managing $1 million to $3 million construction projects.
Hands-on trade knowledge, with electrical or HVAC preferred.
A strong grasp of GC workflows, estimating, and sequencing, plus experience managing subcontractors and field personnel.
Comfortable in a fast-paced, execution-heavy environment, ideally you have run projects end to end or run your own construction business.
Preferred: PMP or equivalent, OSHA 10 (minimum), and CMMS experience (Fexa, ServiceChannel, Corrigo, Coupa, Procore).

Benefits

Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)

Compensation: Base Salary: Up to $95,000

On-Target Earnings: $150,000

Bonus: Quarterly, Individual bonus + team bonus + company performance bonus
