Commercial Drywall Project Executive

The Opportunity

A growing commercial drywall contractor in the Chicago market is expanding its New Construction division and adding a Project Executive to the leadership team.

This is not a back-office role.

You will step into an active backlog of awarded work, support new projects coming online, and take ownership of client relationships and project delivery. The internal PM/APM team handles much of the operational workload — this role is about leadership, presence, and execution.

If you are polished, relationship-driven, and experienced running large commercial drywall projects, this is built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee new construction projects from award through closeout

• Maintain strong relationships with owners, GCs, and key partners

• Visit active jobsites regularly and stay visible in the field

• Lead change order negotiations and resolve high-level project issues

• Ensure schedule, budget, and quality targets are achieved

• Represent the company with professionalism and authority

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in commercial drywall project management

• Strong communicator with a customer-first mindset

• Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining field presence

• Comfortable owning relationships, not just paperwork

• Driven, decisive, and confident in client-facing settings
