Project Manager, K\-12 Construction — Build the Schools Your Community Learns In
**Las Vegas, NV \| Full\-Time, Exempt \| $115,000 – $135,000**
**The Opportunity**
Few projects mean more to a community than a new school — and few test a PM's skills like building one. Our client, one of the Southwest's largest general contractors with 50 years of building and deep public works experience, is hiring a Project Manager with K\-12 experience for ground\-up school projects in the Las Vegas Valley. District stakeholders, public funding requirements, summer\-critical schedules, and campuses that have to open on time for the first bell — this work rewards PMs who can plan sharp and deliver clean.
**Why You'll Love It**
* **Work that shows:** Drive past a school you built, full of kids — few projects pay off like that * **Ground\-up ownership:** Full project leadership from precon through ribbon cutting * **Steady public pipeline:** K\-12 work means a durable backlog, not feast\-or\-famine * **Full benefits \+ Nevada:** Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, parental leave, PTO — no state income tax
**What You'll Do**
* Lead ground\-up K\-12 projects end to end — budget, schedule, quality, safety, and stakeholder satisfaction * Own project financials: cost reports, forecasts, billings, and change management under public\-funding scrutiny * Manage subcontractor buyout, contracts, and performance, including prevailing wage compliance * Drive schedules built around school\-calendar realities — hard opening dates and summer\-critical phases * Lead OAC meetings with district representatives, architects, and construction managers * Navigate public agency requirements — permitting, inspections, and jurisdictional coordination * Manage RFI, submittal, and procurement workflows to keep long\-lead items ahead of schedule * Oversee closeout, commissioning, and turnover so campuses open ready for students * Mentor APMs and Project Engineers on your team
**What You'll Bring**
* Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field — or equivalent experience * 5\+ years of commercial construction project management with a general contractor * K\-12 or public works ground\-up experience strongly preferred — school district stakeholder management is a major plus * Working knowledge of public bidding, prevailing wage, and agency compliance requirements * Command of contracts, cost control, scheduling (P6/MS Project), and change management * Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office * Clear, patient communication style suited to public stakeholders and community settings * Comfort working from a job trailer on an active construction site
Drug\-free workplace. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
