Construction Project Manager

Anticipated Start Date: January 2027 Western Foothills Construction is a growing commercial general contractor based in the Treasure Valley, specializing in tenant improvements, restaurants, retail, medical, and select ground-up commercial projects. WFC combines the systems, experience, and project controls expected from larger commercial contractors with the responsiveness, flexibility, and direct communication of a smaller organization. We are looking for an experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager who can independently manage projects from preconstruction through closeout and become a key part of our continued growth. This is not an assistant or coordinator-level position. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of projects, make decisions, communicate directly with owners and design teams, manage subcontractors and project financials, and drive successful outcomes with limited day-to-day oversight. As Western Foothills continues to expand locally and regionally, this position will play an important role in helping us scale while maintaining the quality, communication, and accountability our clients expect.

Responsibilities: Manage commercial construction projects from preconstruction and buyout through final completion and closeout. Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for owners, architects, consultants, subcontractors, and vendors. Manage project budgets, cost projections, commitments, change orders, and financial performance. Lead subcontractor buyout, scope review, and contract coordination. Manage RFIs, submittals, procurement, long-lead items, and project documentation. Coordinate closely with project superintendents to maintain schedule, quality, and project execution. Lead owner/architect/contractor meetings and maintain clear communication throughout the project. Identify project risks early and develop solutions before they impact schedule, cost, or client relationships. Manage owner and subcontractor change orders. Support monthly billing, pay applications, cost forecasting, and project reporting. Drive punch list, turnover, warranty, and closeout activities. Assist with estimating, preconstruction, scope development, and proposal review as needed. Maintain and expand relationships with existing clients, architects, subcontractors, and industry partners. Proactively identify opportunities for repeat work and future projects with clients. Support Western Foothills’ continued growth throughout Idaho and the western United States.

What We Are Looking For: 3+ years of commercial construction project management experience preferred. Demonstrated ability to independently manage commercial projects. Strong understanding of project financials, subcontractor management, scheduling, procurement, and change management. Experience with restaurant, retail, tenant improvement, medical, or ground-up commercial construction is also highly valued. Estimating and preconstruction experience is strongly preferred. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with clients, architects, subcontractors, and field teams. Organized, accountable, and comfortable making decisions. Strong problem-solving ability and willingness to take ownership. Experience working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial construction environment is a plus. Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without sacrificing quality or communication. The Right FitWe are looking for someone who wants more than a project assignment. The right candidate will have the opportunity to become a key part of Western Foothills Construction as we continue to grow throughout the Treasure Valley and expand our regional presence. We value people who take ownership, communicate directly, solve problems quickly, and care about the long-term relationships behind each project. This position is a strong fit for someone who has experience with a larger commercial contractor but is interested in joining a smaller, growing company where their decisions, relationships, and performance will have a direct impact on the business.
