Senior Construction Project Manager

Senior Construction Project Manager - Industrial and Commercial Construction
Central Kentucky (Lexington area) | $125K Base + Profit Sharing + Company Truck
Mural is working with a growing, design-build general contractor based in Central Kentucky that has been building for manufacturers, distributors, and commercial clients since 2004. Their work is roughly 60% industrial and 40% commercial. Projects include; paint line buildouts, processing facilities, tilt-up warehouse construction, industrial parking, spec buildings, and plant infrastructure projects for automotive suppliers.
We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to take ownership of active projects on day one. The owner of this company is managing too much himself and needs a Senior PM he can hand the reins to and trust.
What you will be doing
You will take over management of three active projects immediately and estimate one to two more concurrently. You will manage schedules, budgets, subcontractors, and client communication from pre-construction through close-out. Every project has a superintendent on-site, so this is an office-based PM role with weekly site visits, not a live-on-site position. You will participate in a weekly Thursday operations call where you walk through all active jobs, and your performance will be tracked on a simple scorecard: days ahead or behind schedule, every week.
What we are looking for
- 7-10 years of project management experience in commercial or industrial construction; general contracting, design-build, or construction management
- Industrial project experience is required - manufacturing facilities, warehouse builds, tilt-up construction, process facilities, or similar; commercial-only background is a flag
- Estimating experience; you will be pricing new work alongside active projects
- No residential background; this is a completely different world and the skills do not transfer
- Located within commuting distance of the Richmond, KY area (Lexington, Georgetown, Frankfort, Mt. Sterling, and London are all within range)
- Field or trades background with a superintendent-to-management trajectory is a significant plus -- not required, but it is the profile that tends to thrive here
Compensation and benefits
- Base salary: $100,000 - $125,000
- Profit sharing plan: Details given during interview process
- Company truck with gas card (Background check and drug test required)
- Travel: Projects stay within an hour and a half of Lexington.
Why join this company?
If you want to spend the next decade waiting for someone above you to retire, go work for a larger firm. If you want to run your own jobs with real autonomy, share in the company's growth through profit sharing, and build a career with an owner who has 30 years of runway ahead of him, this is the spot. We do not have layers of approval or a VP you need to cc on every decision. We have work, we have relationships, and we need someone who can execute.
