Work Responsibilities

As a project manager for Lamont Bros., your job is to assist in the design of projects, estimate their costs, build the schedule and oversee the logistical side of remodeling projects while in production. Because you'll be managing several projects at once, you'll work closely with our remodeling superintendents, each of whom manages the day-to-day operations at one jobsite. 

The project manager position is a challenging and multi-faceted position. You'll handle many of the administrative tasks associated with a home remodeling project, including:

• Assemble budget estimates based on design plans
• Create construction schedules for remodeling projects
• Build and maintain relationships with subcontractors
• Understand permitting and jurisdictional requirements
• Conduct internal review, pre-construction, and site-walk meetings
• Coordinate between design team, production staff, subcontractors, and clients

The Lamont Bros difference

We work in our client's homes every day--and most of them live through the remodeling process. The best fit for this position is someone who is client-focused, empathetic, and cares deeply about the people they work with and for.

If you prefer a commercial jobsite where tobacco use, lewd humor, and strong language are common, this might not be the best fit for you. Our project managers are ambassadors for Lamont's brand whenever they're on the jobsite or interacting with clients.

We seek client-focused leaders and innovators who take pride in their work and share in our company's core values:

1. Listen well and communicate clearly 
2. Take care of the team
3. Never stop learning
4. Always do the right thing
5. Do whatever it takes
6. Build things that last
7. Connect to people with empathy

Required Skills & Experience

As a residential remodeling firm, Lamont Bros. provides a wide range of renovation services. A project manager can expect to work on kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, additions, ADUs, and whole-home renovations. In this role, you'll be expected to balance work on multiple projects in an organized, efficient manner. 

To succeed as a project manager for Lamont Bros., you'll need excellent communication skills, a thorough understanding of construction best practices, and strong organizational habits.
