Project Executive

Project Executive

Setterlin Building Company is seeking an experienced Project Executive to lead, support, and develop our Project Managers while providing executive-level oversight across multiple commercial construction projects.

This is an operations leadership role for someone who understands how to guide project teams, establish accountability, and ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to Setterlin's quality standards. Rather than managing the day-to-day details of one project, the Project Executive will oversee multiple Project Managers and help them successfully lead their assigned projects from award through final completion.

What You'll Do

Lead, manage, and mentor Project Managers across multiple commercial construction projects

Establish clear expectations and hold project leadership accountable for schedule, budget, quality, safety, and contract performance

Coach Project Managers through operational challenges while supporting their professional growth and decision-making

Regularly review project progress, cost projections, schedules, billing, cash flow, risks, and overall financial performance

Ensure project teams have the appropriate staffing, manpower, equipment, materials, and resources

Help identify project risks and ensure appropriate mitigation and corrective-action plans are implemented

Support Project Managers with owner contracts, subcontracts, change orders, claims, and other contractual matters

Build and maintain strong relationships with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and project partners

Understand client goals, proactively address concerns, and help project teams develop effective solutions

Promote consistency, collaboration, accountability, and best practices across project teams

Provide project updates and performance reports to the Chief Operating Officer and other stakeholders

Support business development efforts and represent Setterlin professionally with current and prospective clients

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field

Proven experience as a Project Executive or in a comparable commercial construction leadership role

Extensive commercial construction project management experience

Demonstrated experience leading multiple Project Managers and project teams

A successful track record of delivering projects safely, on schedule, and within budget

Strong knowledge of construction operations, scheduling, cost control, contract administration, risk management, quality, and safety

Strong financial acumen and experience reviewing budgets, forecasts, cost reports, billing, and cash flow

Ability to coach others, establish accountability, and make sound operational decisions

Strong communication, negotiation, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills

Stable employment history demonstrating reliability, leadership, and long-term commitment

Proficiency with construction management software and Microsoft Office

Additional Requirements

Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment

Ability to work effectively in both office and active construction-site environments

Reliable transportation and willingness to visit project sites throughout Central and Southern Ohio

Willingness to travel as needed for project and client meetings
