Construction Project Manager | 2 Days WFH
Chicago, IL
$130,000–$155,000 base + 20% bonus + profit sharing
We’re partnered with a $400M general contractor that is adding a Project Manager to its Chicago team following continued growth across the Midwest.
This is newly created headcount backed by a strong project pipeline-not a replacement hire.
You’ll have full ownership of projects from preconstruction through closeout, with direct access to senior leadership and a clear opportunity to progress into a Project Executive position as the Chicago operation continues to expand.
The role will include
-
Leading projects from initial planning and preconstruction through final closeout
-
Owning budgets, schedules, subcontractor buyout, cost forecasting and change management
-
Managing relationships with clients, architects, consultants and subcontractors
-
Partnering closely with the Superintendent to keep field and office operations aligned
-
Leading and developing Project Engineers and Assistant Project Managers
-
Identifying potential issues early and driving solutions before they affect the project
· Supporting client relationships and contributing to repeat business
Projects range up to $75M across multifamily, affordable housing, commercial interiors, retail, light industrial, education and healthcare. You’ll gain exposure to a broad range of work rather than becoming tied to one repetitive sector.
What makes the opportunity attractive
-
Two days working from home each week
-
Clear progression from Project Manager to Project Executive
-
Meaningful ownership and direct visibility with senior leadership
-
Diverse projects ranging up to $75M
-
Established contractor with more than 60 years in business
· Strong backlog and continued regional growth
Compensation and benefits
-
$130,000–$155,000 base salary
· 20% target annual bonus
-
Profit sharing typically ranging from 10–15%

This would suit a Project Manager who can independently lead projects, confidently manage clients and project financials, and wants a genuine route into senior leadership without sacrificing flexibility.
