Project Manager Healthcare Construction

Project Manager – Healthcare Construction

Location: Bluffton, South Carolina
Work Model: Fully Onsite (Non-Negotiable)
Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: $115,000 – $140,000 base + bonus eligibility + full benefits

The Opportunity

HireNow Staffing is partnering with a well-established commercial construction organization to identify a seasoned Project Manager for a ground-up hospital build scheduled to begin construction in mid-2026.

This role is ideal for a construction professional who thrives in complex healthcare environments, takes full ownership of execution, and is comfortable leading projects from preconstruction through close-out. The successful candidate will be a steady, hands-on leader who understands the operational, safety, and regulatory rigor required for hospital construction.

This is a fully onsite role in Bluffton, SC and requires early ramp-up ahead of the construction start.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Candidates must demonstrate direct, hands-on experience with these responsibilities to be considered:

• Lead a ground-up healthcare construction project from preconstruction through final close-out

• Own project scheduling, sequencing, and milestone execution across all phases

• Maintain full responsibility for budget development, cost controls, forecasting, and reporting

• Coordinate and manage subcontractors, vendors, and field teams in close partnership with Superintendents

• Ensure compliance with healthcare construction standards, safety regulations, and quality requirements

• Drive proactive problem-solving to mitigate risk, delays, and cost overruns

• Serve as the central point of accountability between field leadership, executives, and external stakeholders

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

• 5–10 years of relevant construction Project Management experience

• Proven ground-up healthcare or large commercial construction experience

• Direct ownership of budgets, schedules, and cost reporting

• Experience working closely with Superintendents and field leadership

• Ability and willingness to work fully onsite in Bluffton, SC

• Stable employment history with demonstrated follow-through on long-term projects

Preferred Qualifications (Highly Important)

Strong preference will be given to candidates who bring:

• Prior experience managing hospital construction projects specifically

• Background with a General Contractor (not owners rep–only or consulting roles)

• Construction Management degree or equivalent hands-on experience

• Demonstrated ability to lead large, multi-trade teams through complex build phases

• Track record of delivering projects on schedule, on budget, and to healthcare standards

This Role Is Not a Fit If You:

• Have no ground-up healthcare project experience

• Have worked only on tenant improvements, interiors, or renovations

• Have never managed a project end-to-end from preconstruction to close-out

• Lack direct accountability for budgets and scheduling

• Come from strictly owners rep or advisory roles without GC-side execution ownership

• Have a pattern of job hopping or roles under 18 months

• Are seeking hybrid or remote flexibility

• Are unwilling to ramp up onsite ahead of the mid-2026 build start

What the Client Values Most

• Proven healthcare construction experience

• Field leadership and accountability

• Reliability, execution discipline, and calm decision-making under pressure

• Clear communication and a team-first mindset
