About Edge Construction Specialties
Since 1996, Edge Construction Specialties has delivered high-quality commercial finish carpentry across the Rocky Mountain region. Our expertise spans architectural woodwork, casework, countertops, upholstery, ornamental metals, decorative glass, specialties, and doors, frames, and hardware.
We're building more than projects – we're building careers. Our success is driven by an uncompromising commitment to integrity and a can-do culture: anticipating challenges, solving problems, and supporting one another to deliver exceptional results. At Edge, relationships aren't just important – they are our business.
About The Role
The Project Director leads a dedicated portfolio of complex commercial millwork and finish carpentry projects representing approximately half of Edge's annual budgeted revenue, together with the team responsible for delivering that work. Reporting to the President & CEO, this role owns portfolio-level strategy, financial performance, client relationships, staffing, risk management, and execution across the full project lifecycle.
Alongside a second Project Director, you'll co-lead Project Management as one department – sharing standards, staffing flexibility, and department-wide priorities while holding clear, final accountability for your own portfolio.
This is a senior leadership role for an experienced construction professional who thrives on complexity, owns outcomes, and wants a real equity stake in the company they help grow.
What You'll Do
Portfolio & Financial Leadership
Own the overall performance of a dedicated project portfolio representing roughly half of Edge's annual budgeted revenue
Set portfolio-level strategy, priorities, staffing, workload balance, and escalation paths
Own portfolio-level budgeting, cost projections, forecasting, and WIP reporting, with accountability for timely, reliable financials
Review contracts, scope changes, change orders, and significant financial commitments; approve within the company's authority matrix and elevate items beyond it to the President & CEO
Monitor schedules, milestones, financial performance, and closeout; intervene early when performance trends require it
Ensure potential changes are identified promptly, notices are issued per contract requirements, and change-order exposure is actively managed
Department Co-Leadership
Partner with the other Project Director to lead Project Management as one department, not two competing portfolios
Establish shared standards for project setup, documentation, financial controls, and closeout across both portfolios
Flex staffing across portfolios to reduce unnecessary overtime and uneven workloads
Align on hiring, onboarding, performance expectations, and career development company-wide
Present a single, consistent Project Management voice to Purchasing, Engineering, Field Supervision, and Accounting
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Safety
Partner with Purchasing, Engineering, and Field Supervision to keep procurement, engineering, and field delivery aligned with portfolio needs
Coordinate labor and capacity planning with Field Operations to support project schedules and commitments
Reinforce Edge's safety expectations and ensure project teams factor safety, access, logistics, and means-and-methods into planning
Drive collaborative, can-do problem-solving across functions
Team Leadership & Development
Build, lead, and mentor a multi-level team of Senior Project Managers, Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, and Project Engineers
Coach through clear direction, regular feedback, and meaningful growth opportunities
Support recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and succession planning
Contribute to company-wide process improvements and best practices
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves / Required
10+ years of progressively responsible project-management experience in architectural millwork, commercial finish carpentry, specialty contracting, or commercial construction, including experience managing other project managers
Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and industry experience
Proven ability to manage a portfolio of concurrent, complex commercial projects and lead a multi-level project-management team
Strong financial acumen – budgeting, forecasting, cost-to-complete projections, change management, and WIP management at a portfolio level
Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, shop drawings, scopes of work, and contracts
Strong communication, negotiation, client-management, and conflict-resolution skills
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and modern project-management, construction-management, or ERP systems
Nice-to-Haves / Preferred
Deep experience in architectural millwork, casework, commercial finish carpentry, or another technically complex specialty subcontracting environment
Experience leading project teams across a regional footprint, coordinating engineering, purchasing/procurement, production, and field operations
Established relationships with general contractors, owners, or architects in the Rocky Mountain region
Experience improving project-management standards, systems, reporting, and team-development practices across a department
Benefits & Perks
ESOP Ownership: Annual stock grants – build equity in a company you help grow
Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision coverage
HSA: Company contribution
401(k) Retirement: Company match included
Paid Time Off: PTO plus paid holidays
Discretionary Bonus: 15–20% annual bonus tied to performance
Wellness Program and EAP
Career Development: Professional development and advancement opportunities
Work Environment
This is a primarily office-based leadership role, with regular travel to active projects across the Rocky Mountain region, including Wyoming, Montana, and mountain communities in Utah and Colorado. During peak project cycles, extended hours may be required – we work hard when projects demand it and are committed to balance in between.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Offer is contingent on successful completion of a background check, drug screening, and reference checks.
