For Indiana Career Connect, I'd use a somewhat tighter, more traditional description than LinkedIn. It should still make clear this is broader than a normal PM. Construction Operations Manager Fortified Buildings LLC is seeking an experienced Construction Operations Manager to help lead our custom residential construction operation throughout Eastern and Central Indiana. This position is responsible for managing residential construction projects from estimating and pre-construction through final completion. The ideal candidate will combine strong residential construction knowledge with estimating, project management, budgeting, subcontractor coordination, and customer communication skills. The Construction Operations Manager will work closely with company ownership and will have significant responsibility for planning and executing projects profitably and efficiently. Primary Responsibilities:

Prepare estimates and customer project proposals

Review construction plans and identify scope requirements

Develop detailed Scopes of Work (SOWs)

Obtain and evaluate subcontractor and supplier pricing

Build and maintain project budgets in JobTread

Set up and maintain projects, schedules, documentation, and cost tracking in JobTread

Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, materials, and project schedules

Monitor estimated costs against actual project costs

Manage project allowances and customer selections

Identify, price, document, and manage change orders

Inspect work for quality, completeness, and compliance with project plans

Identify scheduling, material, or scope problems before they cause project delays

Maintain professional communication with homeowners throughout construction

Review subcontractor scopes and invoices

Coordinate upcoming project expenses and construction draws with ownership

Manage punch lists, final walkthrough preparation, and project closeout

Assist with minor field issues when necessary to keep projects moving

Help develop and improve company construction systems and processes

Qualifications:

Significant residential construction experience

Strong understanding of residential construction sequencing and building practices

Experience estimating residential construction projects

Experience with job costing, budgeting, and project financial management

Ability to develop detailed construction scopes of work

Experience coordinating and managing subcontractors

Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

Strong communication, organization, leadership, and problem-solving skills

Comfortable using construction management software and other digital tools

JobTread experience preferred but not required

Valid driver's license and ability to travel between project locations throughout Eastern and Central Indiana

Formal construction management education is welcome but not required; equivalent practical construction experience is valued

This is not strictly a desk-based project management position, nor is it intended to be a full-time trades position. The successful candidate should have enough hands-on construction knowledge to recognize field problems, evaluate workmanship, and make practical construction decisions while understanding that their primary responsibility is managing the overall project. This position has the opportunity to grow into broader operational leadership as Fortified Buildings expands, including future responsibility for managing project managers, superintendents, foremen, and other construction personnel. Compensation and employment structure will be discussed individually with qualified candidates based on experience, capabilities, responsibilities, and overall fit.
