Construction Manager in West Chester, Pennsylvania at Hazley Commercial Construction

You've built the schedule, wrangled the subs, and walked the punch list. Now you want more ownership and a company that's actually growing.

We're looking for a Construction Project Manager to take full ownership of commercial projects from preconstruction through closeout. This isn't a "manage the paperwork and hope the super handles it" role. You'll be the driving force behind schedule, budget, quality, and client trust with the autonomy to make real decisions and the support to back them up.

What you'll own:

• Multiple commercial projects simultaneously, from planning through final walkthrough
• Schedules that actually hold, through tight coordination with field ops and subs
• Client relationships that turn into repeat business
• Risk, documentation, and the dozens of moving parts that separate a smooth project from a chaotic one

You're a fit if you:

• Have solid commercial construction PM experience and know your way around a preconstruction process
• Solve problems before they become five-alarm fires
• Communicate clearly with clients, subs, and field teams, and know how to read a room
• Want a growing company where your results are visible and your career has room to move

Hazley Commercial Construction is scaling, and we need PMs who want to grow with us. If that's you, let's talk.
