Job description
General Manager – Commercial Construction
Location: On-site Scranton, PA with regional travel
Our client is an established specialty construction organization entering an exciting stage of operational growth and modernization. They are seeking a hands-on General Manager to take meaningful ownership of a commercial operation, lead experienced project and field teams, and help shape how the business scales. This is an opportunity for a construction leader who enjoys being close to the work while also influencing profitability, people, processes, and long-term growth.
This Role Offers:
Competitive base compensation, based on experience, plus bonus potential.
A high-impact leadership position with significant autonomy and direct access to ownership.
Medical insurance with employer contribution, along with dental and vision coverage.
Paid time off and additional employee benefits.
A hands-on environment where strong operational leadership can have an immediate and visible impact.
Focus:
Own day-to-day performance across commercial projects, balancing estimating, project delivery, field execution, labor planning, and customer commitments.
Guide project managers, estimators, office staff, and field leaders with clear expectations, practical coaching, and consistent accountability.
Review scopes, estimates, pricing assumptions, schedules, and job economics to identify risk and protect project profitability.
Coordinate manpower, subcontracted resources, and project priorities so teams have the support needed to execute safely and efficiently.
Step into challenging project situations as a senior problem solver, including jobsite, scheduling, customer, and field execution issues.
Build productive relationships with general contractors, customers, suppliers, and trade partners while representing the business with credibility.
Strengthen communication, team engagement, operating discipline, and scalable processes as the organization continues to modernize and grow.
Partner with ownership on financial performance, growth priorities, and broader operating decisions, with increasing P&L responsibility over time.
Skill Set:
Senior leadership experience in commercial construction, commercial flooring, or another specialty contracting business with comparable project complexity.
Practical knowledge of flooring, architectural finishes, or an adjacent trade, with enough technical depth to review estimates and help teams resolve field challenges.
Demonstrated success leading project managers, estimators, field personnel, and operational teams in a hands-on environment.
Ability to interpret project scope, cost drivers, schedules, labor needs, and profitability, with readiness to assume broader P&L ownership.
Field credibility developed through meaningful jobsite exposure. Installation, superintendent, field leadership, or similar experience is strongly valued.
Comfort operating autonomously, making sound decisions, communicating candidly, and asking for resources before workload or execution risk becomes unmanageable.
Willingness to work on-site in Scranton and travel regularly to jobsites and the Harrisburg area, including occasional weekend or off-hours project needs.
Familiarity with commercial estimating technology is valuable. Experience with flooring estimating platforms and cloud-based accounting tools is a plus.
