About the Opportunity

Parametrix is seeking an experienced Construction Manager to join our Community Building team in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. This is a great opportunity for a construction management professional who enjoys working closely with clients, contractors, and project teams to successfully deliver a variety of public infrastructure and community-focused projects.

In this role, you'll oversee construction activities from project startup through closeout, helping ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in alignment with client expectations. Depending on project needs, you may manage multiple projects simultaneously or focus on a single large-scale project or program. You'll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and serve as a key point of contact for clients, contractors, and other project stakeholders.

This position offers flexibility for a hybrid work schedule based on client and project needs. Project sites may be located throughout Washington, primarily in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. Candidates should be comfortable traveling to and working at project sites as needed, with the ability to reasonably commute to assigned locations.

Your Role on the Team:

• Manage construction projects from startup through completion, overseeing scope, schedule, budget, quality, and overall project delivery.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, contractors, consultants, and other stakeholders, maintaining strong relationships and clear communication throughout construction.
• Oversee multiple concurrent projects or support the management of a larger, complex construction program, depending on client and project needs.
• Manage construction administration processes, including requests for information (RFIs), submittals, change orders, pay applications, and related documentation.
• Monitor construction progress, identify potential risks or challenges, and work proactively with project teams to develop solutions.
• Lead project startup and closeout activities, including coordination of project requirements, documentation, punch lists, and final deliverables.
• Review contractor schedules, progress reports, and payment requests to support project accountability and financial oversight.
• Coordinate with design teams, contractors, and client representatives to address construction issues, facilitate decisions, and maintain project momentum.
• Maintain complete, accurate, and organized project records, correspondence, reports, and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support compliance with contract requirements, applicable standards, and project-specific quality and safety expectations.

What you Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in construction management, construction administration, or a related field.
• Experience managing construction projects, preferably involving public infrastructure, municipal facilities, or community-focused improvements.
• Strong understanding of construction processes, contract administration, scheduling, budgeting, and project controls.
• Experience managing RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, and other construction documentation.
• Ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and independently resolve project challenges.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships with clients, contractors, and project teams.
• Proficiency with construction management software and project documentation systems.
• Professional credentials such as Certified Construction Manager (CCM) or Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) certification are preferred.
• Ability and willingness to travel to project sites throughout the greater Seattle/Tacoma area and other Washington locations as project needs require.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation, as needed to support project site activities.
