Project Manager | Large-Scale Warehouse & Cold Storage Construction (NY Metro)

❄️

New York Metro

Full-Time

Help launch a builder into a brand-new sector, and own it from day one.

A growing New York General Contractor and Construction Manager, known for delivering technically demanding commercial, hospitality, and residential projects with real in-house fabrication and self-perform capability, is moving into industrial and cold storage construction. They’re hiring a Project Manager to lead that push.

This is the rare seat where you’re not slotting into an established machine, you’re helping build the division. You’ll take a technically complex project from preconstruction through completion, working shoulder to shoulder with ownership, the design team, Superintendents, and trade partners, and your fingerprints will be on how this new sector runs.

✨ Why this role

Ground-floor impact: help shape a company’s entry into industrial and cold storage, with the visibility and ownership that come with building something new

A builder that actually builds: in-house fabrication and self-perform capability means more control over schedule, quality, and the technical scopes that make or break a cold storage job

❄️ Genuinely complex work: refrigeration, heavy MEP, structural and architectural coordination, the projects that reward a sharp PM

A design-driven, detail-obsessed team that brings diverse perspectives to hard problems

Room to grow alongside the sector you help establish
