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.
