Project Manager at River City Construction – East Peoria, Illinois

At River City Construction, our Project Managers play a key role in leading construction projects from start to finish. They work closely with other departments to ensure each project is carefully planned, delivered on time, within budget, and meets high standards for safety and quality.

Project Managers are expected to understand the overall picture of their projects, manage priorities independently, and lead teams that may include superintendents, foremen, engineers, safety staff, procurement, and others. They may also support new work efforts by helping to develop client relationships and project opportunities.

We offer a flexible work environment that supports meeting team members where they are at in both work and life, while keeping project needs and deadlines top of mind. Flexibility may vary depending on specific project requirements. While a hybrid work arrangement may be available for this role, additional on-site presence may be required during the initial training and onboarding period to support integration, team collaboration, and hands-on project understanding.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Leadership: Collaborate with Project and Field Operations team members to ensure high performance across all projects.

Team Coordination: Oversee all aspects of your project team, use technology to improve efficiency, maintain current schedules, and work with client reps and field teams to ensure quality results.

Project Execution: Manage budgets, procurement, forecasting, job costs, and cash flow. Lead efforts to meet project goals and ensure a client-focused experience.

Relationship Building: Develop strong working relationships with clients, partners, and vendors, serving as the main point of contact throughout each project.

Field Support: Address jobsite challenges, lead progress meetings, resolve issues, manage changes, and ensure safety and documentation compliance.

At RCC, we’re committed to building great projects and great teams. If you're passionate about building cool projects, collaboration, and continuous improvement, we’d love to talk with you.
