Are you entrepreneurial by nature, work well autonomously, and want the freedom to run your projects without being micromanaged? 

JOC Construction is a full-service commercial construction company specializing in government contracts. Our home office is in Atlanta with regional offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Colorado. Government commercial construction is our primary focus. Our projects range from $50k to $5M with most of our projects in the $100k - $2M contract range with a duration under six months. We focus exclusively on serving our client base through IDIQ type contracts in the government sector. With our 12+ years of experience and growing network within our niche, we’re looking for a motivated, full-time Project Manager to join our team at headquarters in Georgia. New team members will maintain our high standards of customer service, work ethic, and top-quality commercial construction while contributing to JOC’s family first culture and continuing profitability. 

OVERVIEW 

As a Project Manager, you’ll be managing commercial construction projects from the joint scoping process through substantial completion. You’ll be expected to manage multiple projects at once in various phases of development, while meeting established budget and scheduling goals. You’ll also be partnering with our lineup of great people: employees, subcontractors, a diverse group of customers that we’ve been working with for years, plus new customers — who usually become repeat customers after working with us. You’ll have the freedom to run your projects without being micromanaged; in a fast-paced environment, while surrounded by a fun and supportive company team.

REQUIREMENTS

EDUCATION

CHARACTERISTICS 

A “can-do” attitude and entrepreneurial spirit are essential for success in this position. The ability to learn quickly and a passion for construction can more than make up for a lack of specific experience or a construction degree.
