HAYNES
Real Estate Development
Senior Construction Project Manager
Location: On-Site Compensation: $150,000 – $190,000 base
WHY HAYNES
At Haynes, you won’t be a cog in a large GC’s machine. We’re a vertically integrated real estate development firm — meaning we control every phase from land acquisition and design through entitlements, construction, and delivery. We self-perform site work with in-house crews and subcontract all other trades, giving our project managers rare, direct authority over how work gets done.
That means you’ll have real ownership of your projects. No layers of corporate approvals. No handing off to a separate operations team. You’ll see your work rise from the ground and deliver — and you’ll be recognized and rewarded for it.
We build mixed-use projects combining multifamily residential, retail, office, and commercial space — complex, interesting work that keeps your skills sharp and your resume strong.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for a Senior Construction Project Manager to take the field lead on active ground-up projects — from groundbreaking through certificate of occupancy. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role. You’ll be the primary project leader on-site, trusted with budgets of $10M+, a full subcontractor roster, and direct coordination with ownership and design teams.
If you’re the kind of PM who thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment, wants their decisions to actually matter, and takes pride in delivering complex projects on schedule and on budget — this role was built for you.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Scheduling & Planning
- Build and enforce detailed project schedules using MS Project and Procore
- Sequence all subcontracted trades and in-house site work crews
- Spot schedule risks early and drive recovery plans before they become problems
- Lead pre-construction planning: constructability reviews, phasing, logistics
Budget & Cost Management
- Own the project budget — track committed costs, forecast variances, report to ownership
- Review and approve sub pay applications, invoices, and lien waivers
- Evaluate, negotiate, and process owner and subcontractor change orders
Subcontractor & Site Management
- Solicit bids, level scopes, and assist in awarding subcontracts across all trades
- Run on-site subcontractor coordination meetings and hold subs to their scopes
- Coordinate closely with our in-house site crew on earthwork, utilities, paving, and improvements
- Manage site logistics, staging, access, and overall jobsite organization
Quality, Safety & Inspections
- Conduct regular site inspections against approved plans and specifications
- Enforce OSHA compliance and hold all subs accountable to safety standards
- Coordinate building department and third-party inspections
- Serve as field-side point of contact in meetings; resolve design conflicts and field conditions in real time
Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain complete project records: RFIs, submittals, change orders, meeting minutes, daily reports
- Deliver project status reports covering schedule, budget, safety, and open issues
- Keep as-built records current throughout construction
Project Closeout
- Drive the project to certificate of occupancy — on schedule
- Manage punch list creation, distribution, and completion across all trades
- Collect warranties, O&M manuals, as-builts, and final lien releases
- Support a smooth handoff to leasing, property management
WHAT YOU BRING
- 5–10 years of project management experience on ground-up mixed-use, multifamily, or commercial construction
- Proven track record managing subcontractors and self-perform site work operations
- Experience owning project budgets of $10M or greater
- Deep knowledge of construction documents, means and methods, and building systems
- Proficiency with Procore (or equivalent) and scheduling tools such as MS Project
- Solid command of OSHA regulations and jobsite safety practices
- Strong communicator — written, verbal, and in the field — with the ability to lead teams and manage up
We’ll also consider candidates who are slightly below this range if they bring exceptional project quality, strong subcontractor relationships, or specific mixed-use experience that sets them apart.
WHAT WE OFFER
Compensation & Growth
- $150,000 – $190,000 base salary, commensurate with experience
- Upward mobility as the portfolio grows
- Direct exposure to the full development cycle — a resume-builder few GC roles can match
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company matching
- Life insurance
- Paid time off
- In-person, collaborative team environment
- Projects you’ll be proud to put your name on

Construction Project Manager Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction project manager in Connecticut?
Most Connecticut construction project managers start with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, then build field experience as an assistant or field engineer. Connecticut requires a Home Improvement Contractor registration through the Department of Consumer Protection for residential work, and commercial contractors typically hold a state contractor license. Earning a PMP or CCM credential significantly strengthens your candidacy with larger general contractors and institutional clients operating in the state.
How much do construction project managers make in Connecticut?
Construction project managers in Connecticut earn a median of about $125,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,990 for the lowest 10% to over $195,100 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction project managers in Connecticut?
Connecticut construction project manager roles are posted by Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, CSL Consulting, and Burns & McDonnell and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Connecticut's mix of large general contractors, healthcare systems undergoing capital expansion, and state transportation agencies creates a steady and varied employer pool for experienced project managers.
Which Connecticut cities have the most construction project manager jobs?
Hartford, New Haven, and Wallingford consistently post the most construction project manager openings in Connecticut. Hartford leads because of ongoing state government capital projects and healthcare campus expansions, while Stamford draws demand from corporate headquarters and luxury mixed-use development, and New Haven benefits from Yale University and Yale New Haven Health's continuous construction pipeline.
Are there remote construction project manager jobs in Connecticut?
Yes, but they're rare. About 19% of construction project manager openings tied to Connecticut are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how site-dependent the role is by nature. The tasks most likely to shift remote are pre-construction planning, estimating, and document control, while active site oversight and subcontractor coordination almost always require a physical presence.
How can I get hired as a construction project manager in Connecticut with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a project engineer or assistant project manager role with a mid-size Connecticut general contractor. Firms like O&G Industries and Dimeo Construction have historically hired new graduates into structured field rotation programs. A degree in construction management from the University of Connecticut or Central Connecticut State University carries weight, and earning an OSHA 30 certification before applying gives candidates a concrete, low-cost credential that appears in many entry-level Connecticut postings.
Where can I find and apply to construction project manager jobs in Connecticut?
