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%
- $750 monthly vehicle allowance
- Four weeks of PTO
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.
