Farallon General Contractors is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support our Senior Project Manager on large-scale, high-end residential projects throughout Marin and San Francisco. Our projects typically range from **$5 million to $15 million+** and involve architecturally significant custom homes and major remodels.
Unlike many GCs working at this level, we intentionally limit our active project load to approximately **four projects at a time** — occasionally five — allowing our team to stay focused, organized, and deeply involved in the details.
The Project Manager will assist with preconstruction, budgeting, job costing, contract administration, document management, change order pricing, submittals, subcontractor coordination, client billing, closeout, and **schedule and production management**.
A key part of this role will be helping manage the **construction schedule and field production flow**. Candidates with experience building, tracking, updating, and managing schedules — including trade sequencing, production tracking, lead-time coordination, and identifying delays — will be especially well suited for this position.

* Support the Senior Project Manager through all phases of construction.
* Assist with preconstruction setup, budgeting, bidding, scope-of-work development, and subcontractor bid comparisons.

* Assist with schedule management, trade sequencing, production tracking, and upcoming work planning.
* Coordinate with the site superintendent to identify delays, manpower needs, material lead times, and critical path items.
* Manage project documentation, including drawings, permits, RFIs, submittals, change orders, correspondence, and closeout documents.
* Assist with subcontract administration, subcontractor change orders, insurance certificates, and lien release tracking.
* Communicate with subcontractors, vendors, consultants, field staff, and the office team.
* Track open items, deadlines, approvals, and follow-up tasks to keep projects moving forward.
Qualifications
* Residential construction experience required; high-end custom residential experience strongly preferred.
* Bachelor’s degree in construction management, architecture, engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
* Experience with schedule management, production tracking, trade sequencing, and field coordination is highly desirable.
* Strong computer skills, including Excel, Google Workspace, Bluebeam, Buildertrend, and cloud-based file systems.
* Strong math skills and understanding of job costing, budgeting, and financial reporting.
* Excellent organization, attention to detail, communication, and follow-through.
* Ability to work independently, anticipate project needs, and maintain a positive, collaborative attitude.
Compensation & Benefits
* **$50–$70/hour**, depending on experience
* Annual discretionary bonus
* Group medical benefits
* Paid Time Off
