Construction Manager Jobs in New York

A Construction Manager, also known as a Construction Project Manager, plays a pivotal role in the construction industry by overseeing and directing construction projects from the beginning to the end. Their responsibilities include planning, budgeting, coordinating, and supervising construction projects while ensuring that they are completed within the stipulated time and budget. They also ensure that safety standards and building regulations are met, resolve any issues or problems that may arise, and communicate with clients, architects, and subcontractors.

Essential skills for a Construction Manager include strong leadership and management skills, excellent communication and negotiation skills, good problem-solving abilities, and a thorough understanding of the construction process and construction safety laws.
