Construction Project Manager job overview

A construction project manager oversees the entire building process for assigned projects from start to finish.

Once the project is underway, they manage all general contractors and set expectations by enforcing site safety regulations and regular equipment maintenance. Construction project managers typically work off-site at a construction company office with occasional on-site visits.
