What You'll Do

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll lead multiple complex commercial construction projects from pursuit through closeout while mentoring the project teams around you.

• Negotiate contracts, create budgets, and develop cost projections that set projects up for financial success.
• Execute timely buyout and lead closeout within 90 days with zero Day 2 items.
• Mentor and develop Project Managers, Assistant PMs, and Project Engineers — growing the next generation of Barringer leaders.
• Anticipate challenges 2–3 years out and help teams navigate risk before it lands on a jobsite.
• Represent Barringer in client meetings, interviews, and presentations with the polish and presence our clients expect.

What You Bring

• Proven leadership and team-building abilities across multiple simultaneous projects.
• A polished, confident presence in interviews, presentations, and client-facing settings.

• A mentorship mindset — you develop the people around you as deliberately as you deliver projects.
• The trust-first approach that defines our Relationship Enthusiasts and Trusted Advisors.

Experience

• Demonstrated success managing people and projects simultaneously.

• You model strong time management and a healthy work/life balance.
• You think ahead — and help your teams do the same.
