CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER

CUSTOM HOMES

Skycastle Construction | Boulder, CO

DO YOU ENJOY THE PRECONSTRUCTION SIDE OF BUILDING AS MUCH AS THE CONSTRUCTION ITSELF?

Do you enjoy digging into estimates, drawings, specifications, building systems, and constructability —and figuring out how a project can be built well before construction begins? Are you genuinely interested in building science, sustainable construction, high-performance homes, and green building ? Do you enjoy working with architects, clients, subcontractors, and your team to understand design intent, develop scope and budgets, identify risks, and make good decisions early? And are you curious about how AI and technology can improve the way we work , particularly in estimating and preconstruction? If so, you may be a great fit for Skycastle. We are looking for an experienced Project Manager who enjoys both the technical and people sides of construction —someone who can move comfortably between an estimate, a set of drawings, a client conversation, a subcontractor question, a budget, and a jobsite.

ABOUT SKYCASTLE

Skycastle Construction is a Boulder-based general contractor specializing in high-quality custom homes , with a strong focus on sustainable, high-performance, and green building . Our projects begin long before construction starts. We work closely with architects, designers, and clients during design and preconstruction to understand what they are trying to accomplish, develop realistic budgets and scopes, evaluate materials and systems, identify risks, and determine how to build the project successfully. We care about understanding not only what we are building, but why —and how decisions affect cost, performance, sustainability, schedule, constructability, and the overall client experience.

THE ROLE

As a Project Manager, you will take ownership of projects from preconstruction through completion . You will keep projects aligned across scope, budget, schedule, quality, communication, and client expectations , while working closely with architects, designers, clients, subcontractors, vendors, Site Supervisors, Estimators, and the internal team. Preconstruction and estimating are an important part of this role. We are looking for a PM who is comfortable reviewing and developing estimates, understanding scopes and specifications, evaluating bids, identifying risks, and participating in the decisions that set a project up for successful construction. We are also looking for someone who is interested in implementing AI and emerging technology where it makes sense , particularly in estimating and preconstruction. You will help identify practical opportunities to improve estimating accuracy, efficiency, consistency, data organization, bid analysis, and other repetitive or time-intensive processes.
