Own the lifecycle of institutional and federal construction projects from preconstruction through closeout — schedule, cost, quality, and subcontractor performance.
The role
KenHome delivers institutional, municipal, and federal construction work on budgets where a missed milestone is measured in weeks, not days. Our Project Managers are accountable for the outcomes — not just the paperwork.
You will run projects ranging from $2M to $50M, lead the subcontractor roster through our formal pre-qualification and bid processes, and carry the project through substantial completion with documented quality.
This is a site-forward role. You will be in the field at least three days a week, walking the work, pushing the schedule, and solving problems before they escalate.
What you'll do
- Lead projects from contract award through final acceptance, including buyout, CPM schedule ownership, change-order management, and closeout.
- Chair OAC meetings; issue weekly reports to ownership and internal leadership.
- Manage subcontractor performance against our pre-qualification tier commitments; escalate underperformance before it impacts schedule.
- Own the project P&L — forecast monthly, reconcile to actuals, and surface variance with explanation and recovery plan.
- Review and approve pay applications, lien waivers, and certified payroll before funds release.
- Enforce safety and quality programs on the jobsite; partner with the Safety Director on corrective actions.
- Coordinate with Architect of Record, Engineer of Record, AHJ inspectors, and owner's representative.
- Mentor Project Coordinators and Assistant PMs assigned to your projects.
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of construction project management experience, with at least 4 years on institutional, federal, or municipal projects.
- Demonstrated experience delivering projects ≥ $10M as the PM of record.
- Fluency in CPM scheduling (Primavera P6 or MS Project) — you can build, resource-load, and defend a schedule without outside help.
- Working knowledge of federal contract vehicles (GSA, FAR, Davis-Bacon) OR institutional contracts (AIA A101/A201 family).
- Proficient in Procore or Autodesk Build, Bluebeam, and Excel at the pivot-table / scenario-model level.
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent trade experience.
- Valid driver's license; ability to travel to active jobsites.
Nice to have
- PMP, DBIA, or CCM certification.
- OSHA 30-Hour.
- Prior experience as a subcontractor PM — you know how the other side reads our documents.
- Spanish language proficiency.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage (employee premium 100% covered; dependents heavily subsidized)
- 401(k) with 4% company match, vested immediately
- 20 days PTO + 11 paid holidays; separate sick bank
- 12 weeks paid parental leave
- $3,000 annual continuing-education and certification stipend
- Life, AD&D, and short/long-term disability
- Relocation support for role-critical hires
