Position Description

About Us

At Barringer Construction, we build more than buildings — we build relationships, careers, and an experience our clients remember long after the final punch list. As a Carolinas-based commercial general contractor with offices in Asheville, Charlotte, Greenville, and Raleigh, we work across corporate interiors, hospitality, life sciences, mission critical, industrial, and healthcare projects throughout NC, SC, and wherever our clients take us. We're 100% employee-owned through our ESOP, which means every team member shares in what we build together. We've also been named the #1 Best Employer in North Carolina by Business NC Magazine in both 2024 and 2025 — a reflection of The Barringer Way and the people who live it every day.

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who commands a room, builds trust quickly, and leads teams to exceptional outcomes. You'll enjoy a strong benefits package that includes 100% employer-paid premiums for dental, vision, short-term disability, and life insurance; a 401(k) with company match; flexible PTO after your first year; tuition reimbursement; wellness programs; pet insurance; and annual donations to the charities you care about most. Ready to lead at the next level? Apply today!

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. You'll partner closely with clients, senior leadership, superintendents, and subcontractors — serving as the person who keeps projects aligned, teams motivated, and client relationships stronger than when you started.

1. Lead multiple concurrent projects and high-performing teams, keeping budget, schedule, and construction plans on track.
2. Own client relationships that deepen trust and strengthen Barringer's presence in our market.
3. Drive pursuit interviews, pricing efforts, and strategic decisions that shape how we win and deliver work.
4. Negotiate contracts, create budgets, and develop cost projections that set projects up for financial success.
5. Execute timely buyout and lead closeout within 90 days with zero Day 2 items.
6. Mentor and develop Project Managers, Assistant PMs, and Project Engineers — growing the next generation of Barringer leaders.
7. Anticipate challenges 2–3 years out and help teams navigate risk before it lands on a jobsite.
8. Represent Barringer in client meetings, interviews, and presentations with the polish and presence our clients expect.
