Rushmore Construction Group

Construction Project Manager

Location: Oakhurst, NJ | Office & Field-Based

Build Exceptional Homes. Take Ownership From Start to Finish.

Rushmore Construction Group is a growing, founder-led custom luxury home builder based in Monmouth County, New Jersey. We guide homeowners through every phase of the building process, from pre-construction planning and design coordination through construction and long-term care. We take pride in exceptional workmanship, attention to detail, and creating one-of-a-kind homes rather than producing from a standard floor plan.

We're looking for an experienced, highly organized Construction Project Manager to take ownership of custom residential projects from pre-construction through final completion.

This is not a desk-only project management role. You'll spend time both in the office and in the field, working directly with homeowners, designers, architects, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, and our site team to keep every aspect of the project moving.

You'll be responsible for the bigger picture: schedule, budget, procurement, client communication, trade coordination, selections, change orders, documentation, and ultimately the successful delivery of each home.

We're looking for someone who understands how high-quality residential construction comes together, anticipates problems before they become delays, communicates confidently with clients and trades, and takes genuine ownership of their projects.

Key Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for homeowners and designers, providing clear and proactive communication regarding schedules, budgets, selections, change orders, project milestones, and outstanding decisions.
Take ownership of multiple custom residential construction projects from pre-construction through punch list and final handover.
Coordinate with architects, engineers, interior designers, consultants, inspectors, township officials, and other project stakeholders.
Develop, manage, and continuously update project schedules using Buildertrend.
Plan construction sequencing and coordinate subcontractors, trades, suppliers, and major material deliveries.
Prepare, review, and manage purchase orders, scopes of work, subcontractor proposals, and procurement requirements.
Manage project budgets, allowances, committed costs, cost-to-complete projections, bills, change orders, and financial reporting.
Proactively identify change orders that elevate the home's design and long-term value, simultaneously enhancing the client experience and strengthening project profitability
Work with homeowners, designers, and the project team to recognize upgrades, scope enhancements, and design refinements that are genuinely valuable to the client rather than simply reacting to requested changes.
Clearly communicate the benefits, costs, schedule implications, and construction impact of proposed changes so clients can make informed decisions.
Develop accurate and timely pricing for change orders, including subcontractor costs, materials, labor, overhead, schedule impact, and appropriate project margin.
Manage the change-order process from initial opportunity or request through pricing, client approval, procurement, field execution, billing, and closeout.
Ensure approved changes are documented clearly and communicated to all affected trades, suppliers, designers, and site personnel before work proceeds.
Protect project margins by ensuring additional scope, upgrades, design revisions, and unforeseen work are properly documented, priced, approved, and billed rather than absorbed into the original contract.
Maintain strong judgment around change orders, balancing commercial opportunity with trust, transparency, and the long-term client relationship.
Identify budget or schedule risks early and develop solutions before they negatively affect the project.
Review construction plans, specifications, engineering documents, shop drawings, selections, and field conditions.
Coordinate permits, inspections, engineering sign-offs, approvals, selections, and project documentation.
Conduct regular site visits and quality-control walkthroughs to verify progress and ensure work meets plans, specifications, applicable codes, and Rushmore's quality standards.
Work closely with the Site Supervisor to coordinate field activities, resolve construction issues, and hold subcontractors accountable for completing work properly and on schedule.
Create, maintain, and drive completion of rolling punch lists throughout construction rather than waiting until the end of the project.
Manage client concerns, scope conflicts, unforeseen conditions, subcontractor issues, and project disputes professionally and calmly.
Lead project meetings and communicate clear responsibilities, deadlines, and next steps to everyone involved.
Manage multiple projects, competing priorities, and changing conditions in a fast-moving custom-home environment.
Take ownership of project outcomes and continually look for ways to improve planning, communication, efficiency, quality, profitability, and the client experience.

Qualifications

5+ years of construction project management experience, preferably involving custom homes, luxury residential construction, major renovations, or similarly detailed construction projects.
Demonstrated experience independently managing construction projects from planning through completion.
Strong working knowledge of residential construction methods, sequencing, materials, trades, and building practices.
Experience managing project budgets, purchase orders, change orders, allowances, schedules, subcontractors, and procurement.
Strong commercial awareness and the ability to recognize, price, communicate, and manage legitimate change-order opportunities.
Experience protecting project profitability by accurately tracking additional scope, client upgrades, design revisions, and unforeseen conditions.
Strong ability to read and interpret architectural plans, engineering drawings, specifications, shop drawings, and construction documents.
Excellent organizational, communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to communicate confidently and professionally with homeowners, architects, designers, subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, and company leadership.
Comfortable discussing project costs, upgrades, scope changes, and additional work with clients in a professional and transparent manner.
Comfortable making decisions, resolving problems, and taking ownership when construction does not go according to plan.
Experience managing multiple projects or complex scopes simultaneously.
Proficiency with construction project-management software; Buildertrend experience is strongly preferred.
Bachelor's degree in construction management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field is preferred; equivalent hands-on construction and project-management experience will also be considered.
Custom residential or luxury home-building experience is strongly preferred.
Comfortable working both in the office and in the field.
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
Ability to occasionally adjust work hours to accommodate inspections, client meetings, project milestones, or urgent site requirements.
A solutions-first attitude and the ability to remain composed, organized, and accountable under pressure.

Pay & Benefits

Full-Time. W-2 employment.
Pay: $95,000 - $130,000 base salary, commensurate with experience.
Performance bonus opportunity based on project performance, individual contribution, and company results.
Paid time off.
Opportunity to manage distinctive, high-end custom residential projects from planning through completion.
Direct access to company leadership and the ability to have a meaningful impact on how projects and the business are run.
Opportunity for continued professional growth as Rushmore expands.
Schedule: Monday-Friday, with occasional early morning, evening, or weekend work as project schedules and client needs require.

Why Rushmore Construction Group?

Rushmore offers experienced Project Managers the opportunity to truly own their projects rather than operate as one layer inside a large corporate construction organization.

As a growing, founder-led company, you'll have direct access to decision-makers, meaningful responsibility, and the ability to influence how projects are planned, managed, and delivered. You'll work on distinctive high-end custom homes where craftsmanship, thoughtful problem-solving, commercial awareness, and the client experience genuinely matter.

You'll have the autonomy to lead while working closely with experienced site personnel and company leadership who care deeply about building exceptional homes. You'll also be expected to think beyond simply executing the original plans: identifying thoughtful opportunities to improve the project, presenting those opportunities to clients professionally, and managing changes in a way that benefits both the homeowner and the business.

If you take pride in running organized projects, solving difficult construction problems, communicating well with clients and trades, protecting project profitability, and seeing a custom home through from plans to final handover, Rushmore offers the opportunity to do some of the best work of your career.

Rushmore Construction Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.

This position is responsible for maintaining the project plan and schedule, tracking task completion, facilitating communication among internal teams and external stakeholders, identifying and escalating risks and blockers, and producing regular status reporting for the accountable Project Manager, Sponsor, or Client.

The Coordinator operates without authority to make trade-off decisions on scope, budget, or resourcing. Where decisions or changes are required, the Coordinator elevates options, impacts, and recommendations to the accountable manager. The role focuses on keeping the project organized and progressing toward its objectives within the constraints and priorities set by others.

Primary objectives and key results (OKRs)

Objective: Ensure on-schedule execution of defined project deliverables.
KR1 — Maintain an up-to-date master schedule with >=95% of active tasks assigned and with clear owners and due dates.
KR2 — Achieve >=90% completion of planned milestones on or before scheduled milestone dates (subject to scope and client approvals).
Objective: Maintain transparent, actionable communication among project stakeholders.
KR1 — Produce and distribute standardized weekly status reports with progress, top 3 risks, and required decisions to stakeholders on a fixed cadence (100% adherence).
KR2 — Facilitate all required coordination meetings with documented agendas and minutes within 24 hours post‑meeting (100% adherence).
Objective: Proactively identify and escalate risks and blockers to prevent schedule or quality impacts.
KR1 — Log and categorize all risks and issues in the project register; close or escalate 100% of issues with defined owner and target resolution date within 2 business days of identification.
KR2 — Reduce recurring, preventable task delays by 30% (quarter-over-quarter) through tracking and root-cause follow-up.
Objective: Support fiscal accountability and vendor coordination within delegated authority.
KR1 — Maintain expense and sub‑contract tracking records at >=95% accuracy for delegated items, reviewed weekly with the Project Manager.

Task assignment coverage: percentage of open tasks with an identified owner.
Vendor coordination compliance: percentage of vendor deliverables inspected and dispositioned within SLA.
Accuracy of delegated budget tracking: variance between tracked expenses and actuals for items delegated to Coordinator.

Problem(s) solved for internal and external customers

For internal project teams: removes ambiguity and operational friction by consolidating schedules, assigning and tracking tasks, clarifying dependencies, and ensuring timely internal coordination so teams can focus on technical execution.
For accountable managers (Project Manager / Sponsor): provides a reliable operational point of contact that enforces cadence, surfaces decision points with impact analyses, and maintains the status artifacts required to make informed scope, budget, and resourcing decisions.
For external clients and vendors: delivers consistent, timely status information, coordinates deliverable acceptance, and ensures issues affecting client expectations are escalated promptly for resolution.

Responsibilities and boundaries

Maintain and update the project master schedule; assign tasks and follow up on completion.
Facilitate and document project meetings, produce and distribute status reports, and maintain the project documentation repository.
Track progress against milestones, update the risk and issue register, and initiate escalations to the accountable manager when decisions, scope changes, budget adjustments, or resource reallocations are required.
Coordinate vendor scheduling and logistics where delegated; document vendor deliverable acceptance and escalate exceptions.
Monitor delegated expense and budget items and report variances to the Project Manager; do not reallocate budget or commit changes beyond delegation.
Act as the primary day-to-day operational contact for project execution; defer strategic, scope, and resource decisions to the Project Manager or Sponsor.

Key skills, abilities and knowledge required

Project scheduling and tracking: ability to build and maintain Gantt‑style schedules, dependency mapping, and critical path awareness (tools: MS Project, Primavera, or similar; or robust experience with shared schedule tools such as Smartsheet).
Communication and meeting facilitation: clear written and verbal communication, structured meeting agendas, minute taking, and stakeholder-specific reporting.
Risk and issue management: identifying, documenting, prioritizing, and escalating risks and blockers with concise impact statements.
Basic financial tracking: understanding of budget vs. actual reporting for delegated items, coding of expenses, and flagging variances for escalation.
Vendor coordination and procurement basics: tracking sub‑contractor schedules, deliverables, and acceptance processes.
Organizational and time management skills: multi-tasking across concurrent activities and maintaining accurate record‑keeping under changing priorities.
Interpersonal skills: ability to work with field crews, superintendents, design teams, vendors, and clients; diplomacy in escalating issues.
Construction domain knowledge: familiarity with construction terminology, phases, permitting, submittals, RFIs, and site logistics preferred.
Tools proficiency: competency with common collaboration and reporting tools (e.g., Microsoft Office suite — Excel, Outlook, Word; shared drive systems; project management platforms).
Continuous improvement orientation: capability and willingness to implement process improvements to reduce recurring delays and improve reporting quality.

Success criteria and development focus

Success in this role is measured by consistent schedule and milestone adherence, timely escalation of decision points, high quality and punctual status reporting, accurate maintenance of project execution artifacts, and demonstrable reductions in preventable delays. To be effective long-term, the Coordinator should develop deeper construction knowledge, budgeting and change-management understanding, and stronger influence skills to proactively resolve cross-functional execution blockers while operating within delegated authority.
