Are you a dynamic, hands-on leader ready to take charge of field operations in a high-energy environment? Robert Half is excited to partner with a growing client in Charlotte, North Carolina, seeking a skilled Project Manager to oversee projects across medical facilities, hospitals, and commercial properties. This onsite role demands frequent travel, strong organizational skills, and the ability to juggle 1-5 projects simultaneously while leading field teams to success. If you thrive in fast-paced settings, enjoy being out on job sites, and are prepared for 60-90 hour weeks with overtime pay, this position offers substantial growth into Production or Operations Manager roles.

Perfect for professionals with backgrounds in commercial real estate, multifamily, or residential project management, this opportunity combines people leadership, administrative oversight, and real-time problem-solving. Join a Charlotte-based team of 4 Project Managers (with 6 company-wide) and make an immediate impact on critical job sites across the East Coast.

About the Role

As a Project Manager with our client through Robert Half, you'll be the central coordinator for field operations, ensuring every project—from initial assessment to final completion—runs smoothly, safely, and on schedule. This is not a desk job; it's a highly active position requiring daily travel to diverse sites like hospitals and commercial buildings. You'll report directly to the Production Manager, collaborating with internal leaders and field staff to deliver results in a demanding, rewarding environment. With company-provided vehicles and uniforms, you'll hit the ground running, focusing on what matters: team success and project excellence. Ideal candidates are adaptable leaders who roll up their sleeves, communicate effectively, and excel under pressure.

Key Responsibilities

Your day-to-day will be varied and action-packed:

• Manage 1-5 projects at once, overseeing all onsite activities from start to finish.
• Supervise field crews, enforcing top-tier quality, safety protocols, and productivity standards.
• Travel extensively to job sites daily, including multi-state trips across the East Coast.
• Handle administrative duties like documentation, progress reports, and compliance tracking.
• Coordinate essential logistics: schedules, material deliveries, timelines, and team resources.
• Liaise with Production Manager and executives, providing clear updates and insights.
• Lead by example—guide, motivate, support, and hold teams accountable for performance.
• Problem-solve on the fly to keep projects on track amid challenges.

This role suits those who love the fieldwork, staying organized amid chaos, and driving tangible outcomes.

Required Qualifications

To succeed, bring proven expertise and the right mindset:

• Hands-on experience in project management within commercial real estate, multifamily, residential, or similar sectors.
• Comfort with heavy travel, long hours (60-90/week), and fully onsite work—no remote options.
• Strong leadership skills to inspire and direct field teams effectively.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and follow-through abilities.
• Real-time adaptability and problem-solving in dynamic, high-stakes settings.
• Physical readiness for hands-on involvement at job sites.

Prior experience in construction, facilities management, or healthcare-related projects is a plus.
