Construction Project Manager II - Industrial

Wolverine Construction, formerly Wolverine Building Group is recognized nationally as a leader in the construction industry. We specialize in industrial, multi-unit residential, healthcare, office, retail, and restaurant construction. We provide quality building solutions through integrity, value and craftsmanship and are a growth company of nearly 200 employees headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan with locations in Brighton and Lansing, Michigan. As an organization, we exist to positively impact people and communities. We're proud to be consistently recognized as one of the "Best and Brightest Companies to Work For," a testament to our commitment not only to excellence in construction, but to fostering a workplace where our people can succeed and grow. We're looking for a Project Manager II who can independently lead commercial construction projects while operating as a true partner to the client. This role is ideal for someone who understands design-build delivery, brings experience in industrial market segments, and has worked on projects within warehouse, manufacturing, transportation, and office environments. This isn't a "keep the trains running" PM role—this is about influencing design, solving problems early, and helping shape projects before they become issues in the field. You'll work in a design-build environment, alongside in-house architecture and field leadership, giving you more control, better collaboration, and fewer of the typical disconnects that slow projects down.

What You'll Own:

Full lifecycle leadership of commercial construction projects—from early design through closeout Direct influence on design decisions, constructability, and value engineering Project financials: budgets, forecasting, change orders, and overall profitability Client relationships—becoming a trusted advisor, not just a project contact Coordination across internal teams (architecture, field, safety) and external partners Running project meetings and driving accountability across all stakeholders Identifying and solving problems early—before they impact schedule or cost

What Makes This Role Different:

Design-Build Integration:

You're not reacting to plans—you're helping shape them

Client Exposure:

You'll have direct, meaningful interaction with clients, not filtered communication

Real Autonomy:

Expected to run projects with minimal oversight—not wait for direction

Business Impact:

You're not just delivering projects—you're helping generate repeat work

Project Mix:

Strong focus on industrial work, including metal buildings and complex operational environments
