Charter Construction: Project Manager/Estimator

At Charter Construction, we are not looking to engage with 3rd party recruiters, staffing agencies or similar companies. 

About Charter Construction: 

Serving the Pacific Northwest for over 40 years, at Charter Construction, a brand of American Restoration Operations, we have established ourselves as a restoration contractor that sets the standard for performance, integrity, and quality in the restoration industry. We build relationships with homeowners, community managers, developers, design and insurance professionals delivering extraordinary results in an open and collaborative environment.

At Charter Construction we have established ourselves as a company that sets the standard for performance, integrity, and quality in the construction industry. We are known throughout the Pacific Northwest for fixing buildings that suffer from water intrusion and other construction defects. This work can be just as challenging as new construction and requires a strong understanding of building assemblies throughout all phases of construction. 

The Project Manager must be a creative problem solver with great organizational and communication skills. Many of the buildings we repair are fully occupied and client relations are valued just as much as building knowledge. 

Teamwork is important. We’re a group that supports each other and we understand that when one succeeds, all succeed. We want our team members to have a good work/life balance. Hard work allows us to spend valued time with our friends and family.

About You:

The Project Manager will have a construction focus to effectively estimate, plan, direct, and supervise projects from damage or removal through reconstruction. The Project Manager serves as a professional representative of Charter Construction playing a critical role in delivering projects consistent with service and customer expectations while maintaining a safe work environment.
