Project Manager

*Commercial Construction Project Manager* Pinecrest Construction & Development Co. — Reno, Nevada Full-time | On-site Base salary: $95,000–$150,000 per year, depending on experience Additional compensation: Performance bonus and vehicle allowance *About Pinecrest* Pinecrest Construction & Development is a locally owned commercial general contractor with more than 35 years of experience building throughout Northern Nevada. Our work includes affordable multifamily housing, public and nonprofit facilities, self storage, industrial, commercial and institutional projects, medical facilities, tenant improvements, renovations, and other complex construction. Most of our work is negotiated, CMAR, or design-assist, which means our Project Managers are involved early, build lasting relationships with clients and design teams, and play a meaningful role in how each project is planned and delivered. We also self-perform several trades, giving our project teams greater control over schedule, quality, and cost. We are seeking an experienced Project Manager who combines strong construction knowledge with financial discipline, clear communication, and personal accountability. This is a leadership position for someone who wants genuine ownership of project outcomes and understands that successful project management means more than completing the work—it means delivering a safe, high-quality project while protecting the schedule, the budget, the client relationship, and the company. *Position Summary* The Project Manager will lead assigned projects from preconstruction and contract turnover through final closeout. Depending on project size and complexity, this may include one major project or several concurrent projects. Working closely with the Superintendent, Project Engineer, estimating team, accounting team, subcontractors, design professionals, and owner, the Project Manager is accountable for the project's financial, contractual, schedule, communication, and relationship outcomes. The right person anticipates issues, creates solutions, communicates early, and does not allow avoidable surprises to develop. *Key ResponsibilitiesProject Leadership and Execution* * Take ownership of projects from contract turnover through final completion and closeout. * Establish a clear project execution plan, including responsibilities, milestones, procurement needs, communication protocols, and reporting expectations. * Partner closely with the Superintendent to maintain the project schedule, coordinate field operations, resolve constraints, and support safety and quality-control requirements. * Lead owner-architect-contractor meetings, subcontractor meetings, and internal project reviews;
