Senior Construction Project Manager

Job Description

Construction Project Manager — Senior Custom Project Fletcher Development Fairfield County, CT

About the Role

Fletcher Development is seeking a Senior Construction Project Manager to lead highly technical, architecturally complex custom residential projects that integrate commercial-level construction components. This role requires extensive experience with large-scale cast-in-place concrete, exposed structural steel, deep below-grade construction, and high-end interior buildouts executed to exceptional standards.

Our projects are intricate and detail-driven, with extended scopes, tight tolerances, and uncompromising expectations for quality and execution. We are looking for a leader who understands both the precision of construction and the discipline required to deliver at the highest level.

This is not a role for someone who manages from a trailer. We need an operator who can run a concrete pour in the morning, review structural steel shop drawings before lunch, walk a millwork mockup in the afternoon, and close the day with clean subcontractor correspondence. If that sounds like how you already work, we want to talk.

Experience with:

Heavy cast-in-place concrete structure with complex formwork and strict tolerances

Exposed structural steel framing with precision connection and erection sequencing

Extensive below-grade construction including deep foundations, waterproofing systems, and below-grade MEP

Fully custom luxury interior buildout — millwork, stone, specialty finishes, custom fixtures, and high-end FF&E coordination

Complex building envelope integration across multiple systems

Long-lead procurement, custom fabrication, and close design-team collaboration throughout

Key Responsibilities

Own a project from deep in pre-construction through punch, closeout, and warranty

Lead concrete scope execution — pour planning, formwork coordination, structural sequencing, special inspections, and QC documentation

Coordinate structural steel erection — shop drawing review, fab coordination, connection detailing with engineer of record

Manage full submittal log and RFI process with precision — generated, tracked, and closed without gaps

Develop and drive the CPM schedule; maintain detailed lookaheads and hold subcontractors to milestones

Manage all inspections, structural special inspections, and local jurisdiction coordination

Lead buyout, scoping, and day-to-day accountability for all subcontractors and vendors

Oversee below-grade waterproofing systems — positive-side, blindside, drainage composites, foundation protection

Coordinate luxury interior trades — millwork, stone fabricators, specialty finish installers, AV/lighting, and FF&E vendors

Lead client communication — direct, polished, and representative of the Fletcher standard

Manage budget, cost tracking, change orders, and procurement of long-lead and custom items

Required Qualifications

7+ years of construction project management experience with a strong track record on concrete-heavy and/or structural steel scopes

Ability to read, mark up, and coordinate against structural drawings, concrete details, and steel connection documents

Direct experience managing special inspections — concrete testing, high-strength bolting, welding inspection, and structural observation

Hands-on experience with below-grade waterproofing systems and drainage design

Proven submittal and RFI management on complex, multi-trade projects

Experience coordinating high-end interior trades — custom millwork, stone, specialty finishes, and luxury FF&E

Strong subcontractor management skills — bid packages, scope writing, buyout, and field accountability

Ability to lead field crews directly, not just manage through others

Experience running multiple simultaneous work fronts without losing schedule or quality control

Full project closeout experience — punch list, O&Ms, attic stock, warranty documentation

Technology Proficiency

We run lean and expect fluency — not familiarity — with these tools:

Slack — primary internal and field communication; organized, responsive, no dropped threads

AI tools (Claude / ChatGPT) — used daily for drafting submittals, RFI responses, scopes of work, and client communications faster and at a higher level

Procore, Buildertrend, or equivalent — you drive the platform; you don't wait for someone else to update it

Excel — budget tracking, procurement logs, pour schedules; you can build a working sheet from scratch

Bluebeam or equivalent — redlines, field sets, submittal packages, RFI attachments

Who We're Looking For

You think in sequence — structure before envelope, rough-in before finishes, submittals before procurement

Your RFI log is organized and current without being asked

You've coordinated luxury interior trades and understand the difference between a good millwork installer and a great one

You've had hard conversations with subcontractors on a job site and kept the relationship intact

You use AI to work faster and smarter — and you know when to close the laptop and walk the site

You communicate clearly up to ownership and directly down to crew

You close loops — no open items sitting unresolved in an inbox

You take ownership when something goes sideways, fix it, and document it

What We Offer

Competitive compensation commensurate with senior experience

The opportunity to manage one of the most technically complex and architecturally significant custom residential projects in the region

A flat, direct leadership structure where strong operators are given real authority

Long-term growth within a vertically integrated firm spanning construction, design, and technology

To Apply

Send your resume to with a brief note describing a concrete, structural steel, or complex interior scope you have personally managed — what the project was, your specific role, and one thing that went wrong and how you handled it.
