Senior Project Manager

At KPS Global, our PMs and Construction Services team works very closely with our clients to deliver individual projects and entire programs to achieve our clients’ goals. Our customers select KPS for “peace of mind” and our team works hard every day to deliver hassle-free, on-time, high-quality installations.  Projects range from super simple two-day installations to uber-complex six and nine-month installations. If you’re interested in a challenging and rewarding career, supportive team culture, and as much independence as you can handle, KPS Construction Services might be a good fit. 

We're looking for an experienced and collaborative Construction Project Manager who thrives when people are in sync and projects are running on time but understands that Customer Satisfaction trumps everything.  We care less about what you have built in the past and more about how you fit within our team and culture and how well you can learn and execute our Project Management priorities. In addition to quality, budgets, and schedules, we prioritize:

1. Relationships: we build relationships. Relationships with the customers, subcontractors, GCs, and our own internal project teams are all important and must be taken care of and tended to daily.
2. Communication: no surprises, timely updates, expectations
3. Documentation: issues, observations, change requests, change orders, meetings

This role is supported by a Project Coordinator, sometimes a KPS Superintendent, and you will report to Senior Project Management.  The KPS PM will commonly be customer-facing and interface with our subcontract installers, GC’s, suppliers, and internal customer teams covering a range of functional areas to deliver on customer expectations.

Once the project has been designed, approved, and fabricated, you will take over and own it from delivery to installation and customer acceptance.  You will have significant responsibility managing multiple projects at once and earn a tremendous amount of autonomy and oversight to resolve complex issues.  Your excellent communication skills will be essential as you’ll be client-facing, representing KPS Global on the job site.

As the KPS Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for ensuring not only the progress and technical performance of a project, but also the materials management, budget, schedule, cost, scope development, and changes, subcontractor contracts and documents, and safety of the team. You’ll manage the review and approval process for contractor invoices and contractor pay applications and changes orders and coordinate with the Project Coordinator and Finance group for proper posting in the reporting program. You’ll review status and monitor variances of the construction project database relative to scheduling and cost control reporting.

You’ll provide effective, skilled project management to help reduce the costs of delivering projects and adding value to the business by applying proven project management techniques. Your keen ability to multi-task, communicate effectively and tackle project challenges will allow you to thrive in our fast-paced environment.

• Project Manager: Bachelor of Science in an Engineering discipline, Construction Management, Architecture (OR) 8-10 years of progressive Construction Project Management Experience
