Charter Construction: Project Manager/Estimator
ZipRecruiter, Portland, Oregon, United States, 97204
Overview
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, Charter Construction is 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. About You: Supporting the Portland Metro, Project Managers for Charter's Specialty Projects and Restoration teams aren’t your traditional Project Manager. It’s not uncommon to manage 6-10 projects a week and easily complete 250 projects a year. A deep understanding of the remodeling process—from dirt to doorknobs—is paramount as the successful candidate will manage a team of skilled carpenters, be proficient at estimating work, have the foresight to schedule manpower, and—above all else—be an excellent communicator internally and externally. You are the main point of contact for your clients. However, it’s much more than that. Since a lot of our work is performed on multi-family housing, you should be comfortable speaking with many types of people. In one day, you could receive a call from a homeowner and have to explain why your team will need access to their unit and then immediately turn around and attend a board meeting where you’ll clearly articulate why a certain repair is essential and the best fix to solve the problem. (As you can see, communication is emphasized, as an entire paragraph was given to the topic). The Specialty Projects Team offers a lot of freedom and is perfect for self-starters. However, you won’t feel alone as you’re surrounded by hardworking, multi-talented individuals who’ve created a culture of goodwill, fun, and camaraderie, all while understanding the inherent need for a good work/life balance. You’ll do good work and have a good time doing it. We’re looking for people who believe as we do: you’re honest, kind, understanding, client-obsessed, help your team succeed and be successful, and last, but certainly not least, fix what needs fixing, RIGHT, the first time. We invest in the whole person so that you can build your future along with ours. We are looking for qualified candidates ready to join the Charter Team! REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES
