About Us
New Wave Development is an established real estate investment and development company specializing in residential renovations, fix-and-flips, and new construction throughout Greater Boston.
We are looking for an experienced General Contractor or Construction Project Manager to oversee our residential renovation projects on a consistent, long-term basis.
Most of our projects are located in Boston, Arlington, Lexington, Cambridge, Wellesley, Needham, and Newton, with additional projects potentially located anywhere within approximately 20–30 minutes of Boston. Candidates must be comfortable traveling between job sites throughout these areas.
This is an ideal opportunity for an independent GC or experienced construction professional who enjoys managing projects but doesn't want the constant burden of finding new clients and generating new business.
We provide the projects, funding, and an established network of subcontractors. You focus on managing construction and delivering quality results.
Responsibilities
- Oversee residential renovation projects from start to finish.
- Coordinate and schedule subcontractors to keep projects moving efficiently.
- Manage project timelines, budgets, and construction quality.
- Conduct regular site visits and oversee day-to-day construction activities.
- Coordinate material orders, deliveries, inspections, and project milestones.
- Identify and resolve construction issues proactively.
- Maintain clear communication with ownership regarding progress, budgets, and scheduling.
- Manage punch lists and ensure projects are completed on time and to our quality standards.
What We Provide
- A consistent pipeline of residential renovation and development projects.
- Established, reliable subcontractors across multiple trades.
- Funding and approved construction budgets.
- Administrative and operational support.
- Flexibility to introduce your own trusted subcontractors when beneficial.
- Opportunity to build a long-term relationship as our preferred construction management partner.
Ideal Candidate
- Minimum 5 years of residential construction or project management experience.
- Strong knowledge of residential renovations, including framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and finish work.
- Proven ability to manage multiple subcontractors and construction schedules.
- Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to independently manage projects with minimal oversight.
- Existing subcontractor relationships are a plus.
- Massachusetts CSL strongly preferred but not required.
- Reliable transportation and ability to travel regularly to job sites.
Compensation & Structure
This is not a traditional salaried position. Any pay ranges or estimated weekly hours displayed in this Indeed listing are placeholders only and should not be interpreted as guaranteed compensation or hours. Actual compensation, workload, and time commitments will depend on how the arrangement is structured, the number of active projects, their size and complexity, and the mutually agreed-upon fee structure.
We are flexible in structuring an arrangement that makes sense for both parties and are primarily focused on finding the right long-term partner.
We are seeking someone interested in a consistent, ongoing relationship rather than occasional one-off projects.
For the right candidate, there is an opportunity to become our preferred or exclusive construction management partner as our project pipeline continues to grow.
How to Apply
Please include a brief description of your residential construction experience, the types of projects you've managed, and your current work situation.
We are particularly interested in hearing from independent GCs or experienced construction managers who are looking for a reliable, long-term development partner.
Pay: $30,000.00 - $300,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person

Construction Project Manager Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction project manager in Massachusetts?
Most construction project managers in Massachusetts start with a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, then build field experience through assistant or superintendent roles. Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license specifically for construction project managers, but many employers require or strongly prefer the Project Management Professional credential from the Project Management Institute. Working toward a Construction Manager in Training designation through the Construction Management Association of America is another recognized path in the Massachusetts market.
How much do construction project managers make in Massachusetts?
Construction project managers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $145,010 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,100 for the lowest 10% to over $216,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction project managers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring construction project managers in Massachusetts right now include CSL Consulting, Skanska, and BuildX, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts also sees consistent hiring from general contractors, life sciences construction specialists, and public agencies managing transit and municipal infrastructure projects throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most construction project manager jobs?
Boston, Burlington, and Easton are the Massachusetts cities with the most construction project manager openings, driven by Boston's density of commercial developers, hospital systems, and university capital programs that generate sustained demand, while Worcester and Cambridge anchor significant healthcare and biotech construction pipelines that keep hiring active outside the core metro.
Are there remote construction project manager jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. About 38% of construction project manager openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the fundamentally site-dependent nature of the role. The parts of the work most amenable to remote arrangements are preconstruction planning, estimating, and owner's representative oversight, where daily site presence is less essential than in active field management roles.
How can I get hired as a construction project manager in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a project engineer, field engineer, or assistant project manager, roles that large Massachusetts general contractors like Suffolk Construction and Turner Construction hire for as direct feeders into project management. Internship and co-op programs through universities like Wentworth Institute of Technology and Northeastern University place students directly with Boston-area contractors. Earning a Construction Manager in Training designation and building familiarity with Procore gives candidates without full project ownership experience a meaningful edge in Massachusetts applications.
Where can I find and apply to construction project manager jobs in Massachusetts?
