Who We Are

At Academy Sports + Outdoors our vision is to be the best sports + outdoors retailer in the country - but what truly sets us apart is our people. We're a passionate, purpose-driven team that's as committed to each other as we are to our customers.

We've spent over 80 years building a culture that puts people first. We believe in creating opportunities for growth, fostering meaningful connections, and supporting every Team Member's journey. What fuels us? Our belief in the power of fun.

Here, you won't just help customers gear up for their next adventure - you'll launch one of your own. Whether you're starting out or leveling up, Academy is a place where fun can't lose!

What You Will Work On

In this role your work focuses on moving new store and remodel construction projects from plan to execution with discipline and momentum. You will oversee project activity in the field, monitor workmanship and schedule progress, and help keep financial and documentation processes on track. The role is central to delivering projects that support store operations while balancing pace, quality, and accountability.

You will manage pay applications, change order requests, and related design and construction information, reviewing each package for accuracy, completeness, and supporting documentation. You will coordinate overnight remodels and minor capital projects, partner with internal stakeholders to minimize disruption to store operations, and manage communication between vendors, contractors, and Academy. Travel to job sites is part of the role, along with reinforcing company policies, procedures, and safety expectations throughout project delivery.

The role depends on clear communication across field and office teams, so issues are surfaced quickly, approvals stay moving, and work remains aligned with schedule and budget.
