Job Description

🌟 Project Manager & Estimator 🌟

💼 Full-Time | Onsite (Houston, TX)

🏗️ Ground-Up Commercial Construction | Family-Oriented Mid-Size GC

📶 Project Sizes: $1M–$9M | Multi-Project Ownership

⚡ About the Opportunity

We’re seeking a dynamic Project Manager & Estimator to join a long-standing commercial construction team. If you're passionate about building meaningful spaces, have a keen eye for detail, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is your chance to make a significant impact.

Since 1993, this organization has delivered distinctive commercial projects that shape the Houston landscape. More than just a general contractor, they are a family-owned and operated business committed to craftsmanship, long-term relationships, and a culture of trust.

Their portfolio spans community centers, hospitality, cultural spaces, and retail developments , including high-profile ground-up projects such as North America’s first Gandhi Museum . Because of the complexity and scale of their work, remodel-only experience is not sufficient —they require professionals who have taken full-cycle, ground-up commercial builds from dirt work through final turnover.

🌞 Why This Role Stands Out

• Legacy of Excellence – Contribute to commercial projects that make a lasting mark on Houston.
• Growth Opportunity – Join a company on a strong upward trajectory with room to advance.
• Unique Projects – Work on diverse, meaningful, ground-up developments that challenge and inspire.
• Collaborative Spirit – Be part of a small, tight-knit, family-oriented team where your contributions matter.
• Competitive Rewards – Enjoy a comprehensive compensation package and opportunities to grow your career.

💡 Job Information

As a Project Manager & Estimator, you’ll be at the center of the construction lifecycle—guiding projects from initial concept through final completion. This is a hands-on role where you will own your projects end-to-end: coordinating subcontractors, managing budgets, reviewing drawings, resolving issues, and ensuring delivery excellence.

Many team members manage multiple active projects , so you must be organized, proactive, adaptable, and confident operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment.

🧭 Key Requirements

• Full commercial GC experience managing ground-up projects from sitework through final finishes
• Subcontractor-only, remodel-only, or MEP/utility backgrounds will not meet requirements
• Proven experience serving as the primary GC delivering full ground-up builds
• Comfortable working in a family-business environment with a mid-size GC structure
• Project size experience: $1M–$9M
• Must be able to operate in a hands-on role without the siloed divisions of a large GC
• Involvement required across all phases of the project lifecycle

🔧 Project Planning & Management

• Review subcontractor invoices and billing through Procore for accuracy and documentation compliance

• Oversee material procurement and track delivery timelines

• Champion quality control, schedule adherence, and budget discipline

• Build strong relationships with clients, architects, engineers, and consultants

• Prepare and submit project reports, pay applications, and change orders

🛠️ Procore & Project Management Tools

• Use Procore for submittals, RFIs, daily logs, meetings, drawings, schedules, subcontractor billing, and overall project documentation

• Manage bidding invitations, subcontractor communication, and bid leveling through Procore

• Maintain accurate, organized project records using Procore workflows and tools

📐 Estimating Responsibilities

• Perform precise quantity takeoffs using Planswift

• Develop competitive bids that win new work

• Evaluate costs and uncover value engineering opportunities to strengthen proposals

🚧 Beyond the Basics

• Conduct on-site inspections to confirm progress, safety, and quality

• Resolve disputes and operational challenges with a solutions-focused approach

• Prioritize safety compliance and enforcement of company policies

🎯 Ideal Candidate Profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (preferred)
• 5+ years of commercial construction project management and/or estimating experience
• Proven track record managing ground-up commercial real estate construction projects
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously at various stages
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office , Procore , Planswift , Bluebeam , or On-Screen Takeoff
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage details while keeping the big picture in focus
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership, solve problems, and deliver projects from start to finish
