Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Silver Maple Construction is a Vermont-based construction company whose Aviation Division delivers private hangars, hangar homes, and commercial aviation facilities to a high finish standard. The Project Manager will lead concurrent construction projects from preconstruction handoff through closeout, owning schedule, quality, costs, procurement, change management, Procore administration, and client communication.
Responsibilities
- Project Delivery. Lead all phases of construction across concurrent projects, working through site superintendents who carry daily field leadership. Own the schedule, drive the critical path, coordinate subcontractors and where applicable in-house Silver Maple crews, and hold the quality standard through punch and closeout. Set a consistent site cadence and be present for critical phases, milestone inspections, and owner walks
- Estimate Handoff and Buyout. Review the estimate at handoff, identify gaps, assumptions, and pricing risk within a defined review window, and formally accept the number. Buy out the work against that estimate, validating subcontractor pricing and scope coverage trade by trade
- Financial Performance. Own cost forecasting and margin protection from buyout through closeout. Report cost to complete on a consistent cycle, surface variances early, and never let a number drift silently
- Change Management. Identify, price, document, negotiate, and secure written approval for change orders. No work proceeds on verbal direction without written authorization. Direction often arrives informally and in the field, and holding that line is a core expectation of this role
- Procore Ownership. Run all project management in Procore in accordance with division standards. Procore is the system of record for this division, not a formality
- Client and Stakeholder Communication. Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for owners, owner representatives, airport staff, architects, designers, and engineers. Communicate clearly and in writing, particularly on cost and schedule. The Director of Aviation holds the client relationship and commercial negotiations; this role owns delivery and the daily interface
- Airfield Requirements and Long Lead Procurement. Manage security badging and escorted access, construction safety and phasing, and coordination with airport operations, with training and support provided. Track and drive long lead, single source, and owner furnished items, which are frequently the schedule
Skills
- Five or more years of commercial construction project management, including full delivery accountability on projects of $3M or greater
- Good working command of Procore across budgets and cost tracking, submittals, RFIs, drawings, daily logs, and closeout
- Strong command of construction means, methods, and sequencing on vertical commercial work, including the ability to interpret drawings and specifications and to develop and buy out scope across commercial trades
- Proven ability to run concurrent projects through site superintendents: delegating field leadership while retaining full accountability for cost, schedule, and quality
- Estimating literacy: the ability to read and pressure test an estimate, recognize missing scope or a thin number before it becomes a problem, and validate subcontractor pricing at buyout
- A demonstrated record of pricing, negotiating, and capturing change orders, and the discipline to require written authorization before work proceeds
- Strong written communication with clients, consultants, and field teams, and discretion with private clients, including the ability to work under a confidentiality agreement
- Willingness to travel as projects require, up to approximately 30% depending on assignment
- Valid driver's license, insurable driving record, and ability to satisfy the background check required for airport security badging
- Located in Vermont or elsewhere in the Northeast
- Finish intensive commercial construction carrying demanding design intent
- Experience working directly with private clients and owner representatives
- Aviation construction experience: hangars, terminals, fixed base operator facilities, or other airside and airside-adjacent buildings
- Design build and construction manager at risk delivery, including guaranteed maximum price development
- OSHA 30 certification
