Project Manager II
Are you a master problem solver with a passion for watching buildings come to life? At EDiS, we’re looking for a Project Manager II who knows how to lead teams, build relationships, and keep construction projects moving in the right direction. (That’s forwards, in case you weren’t sure.) If managing complex schedules, solving challenges with creativity, and balancing budgets like a boss sound like your kind of work, we’d love to meet you.
As a Project Manager II, you’ll take charge of high-impact construction projects, delivering on time, within budget, and to the highest quality. You’ll manage client relationships, guide your team, and make decisions that shape the future—both for EDiS and the communities we serve.
This is your chance to take everything you’ve learned in your career and apply it to projects that truly matter. Think of it as leveling up—not just in responsibility, but in legacy-building.
Your priorities will be:
- Project Management: Obviously! Developing, monitoring, and maintaining project budgets and schedules, paying extra attention to how your projects are tracking against client financial and timeline goals.
- Client and Team Communication: You’re the main go-to with clients and design teams, and you know how to maintain positive relationships that keep things moving forward.
- Pre-Construction: Working with the Operations Manager and Estimating during pre-construction as estimates, value engineering, and constructability reviews are developed, and take the lead on the bidding process.
- Quality and Safety Oversight: Alongside your field team, lead conversations around safety standards and installations.
- Project Documentation and Reporting: Own the integrity of project records by maintaining comprehensive, accurate documentation and delivering timely, clear reports that keep stakeholders informed and ensure accountability at every stage.
- Closeout and Turnover: Lead the project closeout process, including punch list management, documentation, and final acceptance of projects.

- Next, you’ll be invited to schedule a 30-minute screening call with a member of our team.
Day to Day you will:
- Set the Foundation for Success: Engaging in pre-construction efforts, and creating front-end specs and scopes of work that set projects up for a successful bid.
- Keep the Clock Ticking: Master the project’s CPM schedule, focusing on critical tasks to keep everything running like clockwork—because a great project manager knows deadlines don’t wait!
- Lead Meetings That Matter: Run efficient, results-driven project meetings with agendas and minutes that inspire action and accountability.
- Be the Problem-Solving Partner: Collaborate with field teams to oversee construction progress, tackle challenges head-on, and deliver results that exceed expectations.
