🌟 Project Manager & Estimator 🌟
💼 Full-Time | Onsite (Houston, TX)
🏗️ Ground-Up Commercial Construction | Family-Oriented Mid-Size GC
📶 Project Sizes : $1M–$9M | Multi-Project Ownership
⚡ About the Opportunity
We’re seeking a dynamic Project Manager & Estimator to join a long-standing commercial construction team. If you're passionate about building meaningful spaces, have a keen eye for detail, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is your chance to make a significant impact.
Since 1993, this organization has delivered distinctive commercial projects that shape the Houston landscape. More than just a general contractor, they are a family-owned and operated business committed to craftsmanship, long-term relationships, and a culture of trust.
Their portfolio spans community centers, hospitality, cultural spaces, and retail developments , including high-profile ground-up projects such as North America’s first Gandhi Museum . Because of the complexity and scale of their work, remodel-only experience is not sufficient —they require professionals who have taken full-cycle, ground-up commercial builds from dirt work through final turnover.
🌞 Why This Role Stands Out
- Legacy of Excellence – Contribute to commercial projects that make a lasting mark on Houston.
- Growth Opportunity – Join a company on a strong upward trajectory with room to advance.
- Unique Projects – Work on diverse, meaningful, ground-up developments that challenge and inspire.
- Collaborative Spirit – Be part of a small, tight-knit, family-oriented team where your contributions matter.
- Competitive Rewards – Enjoy a comprehensive compensation package and opportunities to grow your career.
💡 Job Information
As a Project Manager & Estimator, you’ll be at the center of the construction lifecycle—guiding projects from initial concept through final completion. This is a hands-on role where you will own your projects end-to-end : coordinating subcontractors, managing budgets, reviewing drawings, resolving issues, and ensuring delivery excellence.
Many team members manage multiple active projects , so you must be organized, proactive, adaptable, and confident operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment.
