    Eaton Construction Services

    Program manager job in Knoxville, TN

    READ BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! We're Hiring a Senior Project Manager - But Only If You're Built for This Our Vision: Eaton Construction is targeting a 20X expansion over the next five years, with a focused push across the entire Southeast. We are intentionally balancing public-sector projects with national brand and repeat private clients, while planning to open five satellite offices throughout the region. This role goes far beyond managing projects - it's about helping build the systems, leadership, and operational foundation of a company scaling into a multi-market construction platform. We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who isn't afraid of high standards, big goals, or long hours, someone who wants above-average pay, above-average benefits, and above-average expectations. Who You Are • You're ambitious. Not in a cliché way, in a put-in-the-work, learn-the-systems, build-something-big way. • You understand that process and structure are non-negotiable, not “nice to have.” • You thrive in environments where accountability is real, communication is constant, and growth isn't optional. • You want to be part of a company that's scaling aggressively, and you want a seat at the table helping to build it. What You'll Be Responsible For • Managing commercial construction projects from precon to close-out with absolute ownership. • Running schedules, budgets, subs, and documentation with discipline and precision. • Leading teams, solving problems quickly, and maintaining professional communication at all times. • Enforcing systems, repeatable workflows, and standardized processes across every stage of the project. • Ensuring projects are delivered safely, profitably, and on time, without excuses. What This Role Really Means If you want a relaxed, slow-moving environment, this isn't it. If you want predictable days and 40-hour workweeks, this isn't it. If you want to grow your career, your income, your impact, keep reading. This role is for someone who: • Wants to win, repeatedly. • Is willing to put in long days when needed. • Takes ownership and doesn't hide from responsibility. • Understands that great companies are built on systems, standards, and strong leaders. • Wants to help build one of the fastest-growing GC firms in the region. The Reward • Top-tier pay • Above-average benefits • A leadership path in a company that is scaling aggressively • The opportunity to directly influence the growth of a brand that's aiming for the top of the industry If you're the kind of Senior PM who brings fire, discipline, and ambition , we want to talk. If you're not, that's okay, but this isn't the role for you. DM me or apply directly. Let's build something massive.
