Construction Project Manager – Commercial & Industrial
Montvale, NJ
$100,000–$175,000
Office-Based Position
Overview
A growing commercial construction company specializing in large-scale industrial projects is seeking a sharp, motivated Construction Project Manager to help oversee projects from planning through completion.
The company handles multimillion-dollar construction projects, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and industrial buildings, and is experiencing significant growth.
We’re looking for someone who knows construction, can read plans, understands how projects come together, and knows how to keep things moving.
This is not an entry-level position, but you don’t need to have managed massive projects independently. The right person brings solid construction experience, strong organizational skills, and the ability to take ownership without needing constant direction.
This is primarily an office-based role, working closely with field teams and leadership to ensure projects stay organized, on schedule, and moving forward.
Key Responsibilities
Coordinate and oversee commercial and industrial construction projects from the office
Review architectural and construction plans, specifications, and project documentation
Work closely with on-site project managers, superintendents, subcontractors, and vendors
Monitor project progress, schedules, deadlines, and outstanding items
Coordinate inspections, approvals, and other project requirements
Review contracts, project details, and documentation to ensure accuracy and follow-through
Identify potential issues early and work with the team to resolve them
Maintain communication between ownership, field personnel, and other stakeholders
Take ownership of assigned projects and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
Ideal Candidate
Experience in commercial construction, preferably with a general contractor
Strong ability to read and understand construction plans — required
Background in construction project management, assistant project management, or project coordination
Good understanding of construction processes, trades, and project execution
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple moving pieces
Proactive problem-solver who thinks ahead and follows through
Excellent communication skills and confidence working with contractors and field teams
Self-motivated, responsible, and comfortable taking ownership
Able to contribute immediately without extensive construction training
Ambitious and interested in growing into larger project responsibilities
This is an opportunity for someone who already knows construction and is ready to take on more responsibility, manage substantial projects, and grow with a rapidly expanding company.
