Lead Site Manager
Lead major $50M+ commercial and multifamily builds with real authority. Join a respected contractor with a strong reputation and family-oriented culture.
This role is with an employee-owned general contractor that has spent decades building a strong name across the region. Their teams consistently talk about how grounded, supportive, and people-oriented the culture is - the kind of place where leadership actually listens, superintendents are trusted, and doing the right thing matters more than cutting corners.
Because the company is employee-owned, every project contributes directly to your long-term financial upside. Add in annual bonuses and guaranteed project completion bonuses, and you get a level of recognition and reward few contractors offer. This is also the type of environment where you can grow in the direction you want: whether that means senior field leadership, general superintendent roles, or maintaining a high-level individual contributor path where your expertise is celebrated.
