Prax is recruiting a Construction Manager to run residential and commercial rebuilds after property damage across Birmingham and the surrounding area. You’ll own each job from the approved scope through closeout, including trade sequencing, field quality, job costs, and gross profit.
You’ll check the estimate against site conditions before work starts and resolve scope gaps before they turn into rework or unapproved costs.
What you’ll do
- Verify quantities and repair details in the field, then issue work orders that spell out what each trade is responsible for.
- Build schedules around material lead times, subcontractor availability, permits, and inspections.
- Track committed and actual costs, forecast cost to complete, and address margin changes while there’s still time to act.
- Document concealed damage and out-of-scope work, and coordinate supplements and change orders with estimating, owners, and insurance partners.
- Check workmanship at key stages and lead punch lists, final walkthroughs, closeout, and warranty follow-up.
What you’ll bring
- Hands-on experience managing multiple reconstruction projects, with responsibility for schedules, job costs, field quality, and closeout.
- The ability to read estimates and construction documents, verify quantities, and spot scope gaps or sequencing conflicts.
- Working knowledge of permitting, inspections, building codes, and how framing, MEP, and finish trades fit together.
- Experience explaining scope, cost, and schedule changes to owners and insurance partners.
- Insurance restoration experience is preferred. Residential and commercial rebuild experience and Xactimate are a plus.
Pay
- $80,000 to $100,000 a year
Employer details will be shared during the recruiting process.
