Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education. About Primer
Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education.
We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities.
We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy.
PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage — asset-light real estate — which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that's never existed before: a world-class education that's accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.
About The Role
Primer is seeking an experienced Senior Construction Project Manager with a strong background in school conversion projects. This role involves overseeing construction processes, managing external contractors, optimizing costs, and ensuring timely project delivery. The ideal candidate will leverage their expertise and local relationships to enhance project outcomes while maintaining strict budget and quality controls.
Please note:
This role is remote with intermittent travel to existing and potential sites required, about 40%.
Responsibilities
Pre-Construction Management: Conduct initial due diligence to assess project feasibility, requirements, timeline, and cost. Utilize local relationships to streamline pre-construction and permitting processes. Cost Optimization: Leverage negotiation skills to reduce overall build-out costs and secure favorable contractor agreements. Apply value engineering expertise to identify cost-saving opportunities. Project Execution: Oversee all aspects of construction management to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and to high-quality standards. Monitor and manage construction schedules to accelerate timelines and meet launch goals. Facilities Management: Provide improved facilities support by managing CapEx and facilities projects for existing and new locations. Ensure proper coordination between real estate and operations teams to maintain operational continuity. Stakeholder Communication: Act as the primary point of contact for contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders, ensuring clear and consistent communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field. 8+ years of experience in construction project management, with a preferred focus on school conversions or similar projects. Strong negotiation skills and a proven track record of reducing build-out costs. Experience in value engineering and construction bid optimization. Experience navigating local permitting processes and regulations. Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Proficiency in project management software and construction tools.
