Concrete Project Manager - Self Perform Team

Bellevue, WA; Puyallup, WA; Western WA (Greater Seattle/Tacoma Area)

Celebrating 85 Years of Building With Purpose

At Absher Construction, we’re proud to celebrate over 85 years as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected general contractors. As a 100% employee-owned company, we believe our people are our greatest asset and we invest in them like it!  From fully paid medical premiums for employees, to a generous PTO policy, 401(k) and ESOP retirement benefits, we offer a total rewards package that reflects the pride and ownership we bring to every project.

As a Self-Perform Project Manager, you own the outcome. You’ll lead Absher’s self-perform operations on multiple scopes, managing planning, performance, and profitability. This role is deeply rooted in the field where you’ll be walking jobs, pressure-testing plans, mentoring teams, and driving execution where it matters most.

This is a builder’s role for someone who thrives on accountability, sees complexity as a challenge worth solving, and understands that high-performing teams are built through discipline, clarity, and collaboration.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead project execution to ensure successful delivery, safety, quality, and financial performance of self-perform scopes
  • Oversee planning, scheduling, change management, safety integration, quality control, and closeout
  • Develop and communicate execution strategies with field leaders to ensure clarity on scope, productivity goals, sequencing, and constraints
  • Drive risk planning, identify high-risk activities early, and embed safety into crew planning and daily readiness
  • Monitor and resolve field issues proactively, maintaining alignment between estimate, plan, and execution
  • Track labor productivity and costs, identify variances, and implement corrective actions to protect schedule and margin
  • Supervise, mentor, and develop team members to build the next generation of self-perform leaders
  • Serve as the key interface between self-perform teams, GC operations, and project stakeholders, ensuring alignment and scope clarity

Why You’ll Be Successful

You’re not a spectator, you’re an operator. You lead with influence more than authority, thrive on solving complex challenges, and believe in building high-performing teams that win together.

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent field experience)
  • 10+ years of experience in commercial construction, preferably with self-perform operations
  • Proven ability to manage complex scopes, labor productivity, and cost performance
  • Strong relationship-building skills with owners, architects, field teams, and trade partners
  • Commitment to a safety-first culture and disciplined execution in the field
  • Proficiency in construction software (e.g., Procore, scheduling tools) a plus
  • Safety certifications (OSHA 30, First Aid/CPR) preferred
