Project Manager / Estimator
Estimator job in San Antonio, TX
About the Role
As our client expands their Interiors Specialty Trade Contracting, they're seeking a results-driven Drywall Project Manager / Estimator for this interiors subcontractor - from estimating and scheduling to field execution, safety, and budget. This role partners directly with executive leadership to support and expand existing client base, strengthen field performance, and be a part of a high-performing team as the company continues to grow in San Antonio.
Key Responsibilities

🌟 Project Manager & Estimator 🌟
💼 Full-Time | Onsite (Houston, TX)
🏗️ Ground-Up Commercial Construction | Family-Oriented Mid-Size GC
📶 Project Sizes: $1M-$9M | Multi-Project Ownership
⚡ About the Opportunity
We're seeking a dynamic Project Manager & Estimator to join a long-standing commercial construction team. If you're passionate about building meaningful spaces, have a keen eye for detail, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is your chance to make a significant impact.
Since 1993, this organization has delivered distinctive commercial projects that shape the Houston landscape. More than just a general contractor, they are a family-owned and operated business committed to craftsmanship, long-term relationships, and a culture of trust.
Their portfolio spans community centers, hospitality, cultural spaces, and retail developments, including high-profile ground-up projects such as North America's first Gandhi Museum. Because of the complexity and scale of their work, remodel-only experience is not sufficient-they require professionals who have taken full-cycle, ground-up commercial builds from dirt work through final turnover.
🌞 Why This Role Stands Out
Legacy of Excellence - Contribute to commercial projects that make a lasting mark on Houston.
Growth Opportunity - Join a company on a strong upward trajectory with room to advance.
Unique Projects - Work on diverse, meaningful, ground-up developments that challenge and inspire.
Collaborative Spirit - Be part of a small, tight-knit, family-oriented team where your contributions matter.
Competitive Rewards - Enjoy a comprehensive compensation package and opportunities to grow your career.

Many team members manage multiple active projects, so you must be organized, proactive, adaptable, and confident operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment.
🧭 Key Requirements
Full commercial GC experience managing ground-up projects from sitework through final finishes
Subcontractor-only, remodel-only, or MEP/utility backgrounds will not meet requirements
Proven experience serving as the primary GC delivering full ground-up builds
Comfortable working in a family-business environment with a mid-size GC structure

Must be able to operate in a hands-on role without the siloed divisions of a large GC
