PJR Construction - Construction Office & Operations Manager

THE BLUEPRINT

At its heart, PJR is family-owned and crew-driven. We manage construction and properties with a straightforward approach: do great work, help each other, and keep things uncomplicated. Peter built this company; Eric is guiding its next chapter. Right now we’re modernizing — moving off paper, upgrading systems, and investing in tools that boost efficiency and sustainability for both clients and our team.

Culture-wise, we’re close. Camaraderie is central — from boat outings and Topgolf to casual barbecues, we make time to connect. Our crew shows up, takes initiative, and solves problems together. We value adaptability, responsiveness, and people who pitch in. If you want to work where expectations are clear, help is real, and the team feels like family, you’ll fit right in.

THE CRAFTSMAN

You’ve got the battle scars of an Office Manager, the instincts and experience of an Operations Lead, with the guts to start where you need to, knowing you’re headed for the top.

Day one? You’ll answer phones, chase down timesheets, and keep the transitioning systems and processes from spilling into the hallways. A year from now? You’ll be the one who built and streamlined the systems, enforced the processes, and dragged us (sometimes kicking and screaming) into the digital age.

This role is not for the faint of heart. You’ll need confidence, curiosity, a thick skin, and a natural authority to hold your ground with construction types who sometimes need to be wrangled. If you’re proactive, tech-savvy, and want to slay what’s in front of you, this is your chance to grow into the Ops Lead we need. 

We have time for people who take initiative, solve problems, and enjoy being part of something that’s growing. If you’re adaptable, proactive, and not afraid of a little challenge, we’d love for you to apply.
