Project Executive - Commercial Construction

Project Executive – Commercial Construction

Location: Columbus, OH

Salary: $140,000 – $170,000 base + performance bonus + profit sharing + ownership opportunity

The Opportunity

Our client, a respected and growing General Contractor with a strong footprint across Central Ohio, is seeking a Project Executive to help lead their commercial construction operations. This position is suited for a proven leader who values collaboration, enjoys developing teams, and wants to play a meaningful role in both project delivery and organizational growth.

The company is open to high-performing Senior Project Managers ready to step into an executive-level role, offering a clear path for career progression. You will provide oversight across multiple projects while driving consistency and operational excellence throughout a diverse portfolio that includes K-12, higher education, commercial, retail, public/civic, and community-focused work. Project sizes vary, creating opportunities to influence both large, complex builds and high-profile local projects.

What You’ll Do:

Provide executive oversight across multiple projects from preconstruction through closeout

Lead, mentor, and develop Project Managers, Project Engineers, and field teams

Partner with preconstruction to support pursuit strategy, budgeting, and client presentations

Maintain strong relationships with owners, architects, and trade partners

Drive project performance related to schedule, budget, safety, and quality

Support strategic planning and help position the business for continued growth

Foster a positive, accountable, team-first culture

What We’re Looking For:

10+ years of commercial construction experience with progressive leadership responsibility

Background managing multiple projects and guiding teams simultaneously

Strong operational and financial acumen

Proven ability to develop people and build high-performing teams

Client-facing presence with excellent communication skills

Experience across diverse commercial project types preferred

Ideal Profile:

A Senior Project Manager ready for the next step — or an emerging executive who wants a larger voice within an organization and a clear runway for advancement.

Why This Role Stands Out

Clear path toward executive leadership

Opportunity to influence business strategy and team growth

Ownership potential

Strong backlog of work across multiple market sectors

Collaborative, relationship-driven culture

Long-term stability with a builder known for promoting from within

If you are looking for a leadership role where your impact will be felt immediately — and your career trajectory can accelerate — this is a rare opportunity to step into a high-visibility position with meaningful upside.
