About Sunward Steel Buildings
Family-owned and American-made for over 50 years. We design, engineer, and manufacture fully custom steel buildings delivered to every state in the U.S. and across Canada - aircraft hangars, industrial facilities, arenas, agricultural buildings, self-storage complexes, barndominiums, and more. No two projects are alike, and that is exactly how we like it.
We do not sell from a catalog. We partner with each customer to understand their vision and engineer a solution built specifically for them. That consultative, delivery-focused approach is what has kept us growing for half a century - and it is what makes the Project Manager role at Sunward genuinely different from managing commodity construction.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Project Manager to own the full lifecycle of custom steel building projects - from contract handoff through manufacturing, delivery, and closeout. You will be the central coordination point between customers, sales, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and external partners. Every project you manage is a relationship, a schedule, a financial commitment, and a reflection of Sunward’s reputation.
This is a role for someone who takes genuine ownership - who does not wait to be chased for updates, who sees scope issues before they become customer problems, and who brings solutions rather than just status reports. If you are organized, accountable, and energized by keeping complex moving parts on track, this was built for you.
What You Will Do
Own the full project lifecycle from contract handoff through design coordination, manufacturing, delivery, and formal closeout - serving as the single accountable point of contact for every project in your portfolio
Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, milestones, and execution plans, proactively identifying schedule risks and driving corrective action before they become customer-facing issues
Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, builders, architects, and external partners on drawings, schedules, delivery timelines, and issue resolution
Analyze, document, price, and execute change orders with precision - protecting project margin while clearly communicating cost and schedule impacts to customers and internal stakeholders
Coordinate cross-functionally with engineering, drafting, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics to ensure accurate, on-time execution of all project deliverables
Monitor project financial performance throughout execution, flagging budget variances early and escalating risks to leadership with recommended solutions
Maintain accurate, real-time project records in ERP, MBS, CRM, and project management platforms - pipeline hygiene is non-negotiable
Generate regular project status reports and portfolio-level summaries for operations leadership highlighting schedule performance, financial health, and open risks
Qualifications
What We Are Looking For
2+ years of project management, construction coordination, or manufacturing operations experience in a deadline-driven, multi-project environment
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing priorities without losing quality or customer confidence
Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, structural drawings, and construction specifications
Strong written and verbal communication skills - clear, professional, and effective with both technical and non-technical audiences
Analytical and organized - comfortable building schedules, tracking budgets, and documenting scope
Even better if you have experience in PEMB, metal building, structural steel, or construction manufacturing; familiarity with MBS or other PEMB platforms; PMP certification (or active pursuit); or working knowledge of change order management and project financial controls.
Benefits
Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
Group Life Insurance and AD&D - 100% company-paid
Long-Term Disability - 100% company-paid
Voluntary Supplemental Benefits
401(k) Retirement Plan
128 hours of Paid Time Off + 8 paid holidays
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
