As every role at Plateau is as equally important as the other, project managers help drive the force of construction management on every site that we are a part of.
At Plateau, Project Managers play an important role in taking a project from the planning stages to completion. They manage day-to-day project execution, coordinating with clients, general contractors, and project teams to resolve issues and provide regular updates. They are in collaboration with field teams, subcontractors, vendors, and General Contractor’s project managers, superintendents, and safety teams to ensure seamless project coordination. Their responsibilities include overseeing project planning, cost control, and contract administration while driving successful execution with a focus on safety, quality, and schedule.
Project Managers at Plateau are built to adapt to changes, shifts in schedule, and any unexpected challenges that may arise during the completion of the project. Whether coordinating around a schedule change, finding a solution to an unexpected field condition, or helping a team stay ahead of upcoming work, Project Managers must be able to evaluate a situation, communicate effectively, and make decisions that keep the project moving forward.
There is no single path into becoming a Project Manager. Everyone has a different story and different pathway they took into becoming a Project Manager in construction. Some people begin their careers in the field, while others enter the industry through engineering, construction management, estimating, or Project Engineer or Assistant Project Manager roles.
The most valuable part of the different pathways people can take is the experience that comes from being a part of different areas of the field. At Plateau, we believe careers are built through hard work, opportunity, experience, and the people who invest in one another along the way. Project Managers demonstrate that every day by bringing teams together, solving problems, supporting the people around them, and helping turn plans into finished projects.
During Careers in Construction Month, we’re proud to recognize our Project Managers and the important role they play in building not only successful projects, but the future of our company and our industry.
