OpX | Project Manager

Love construction. Stay connected to the build. Help teams succeed.

You know construction, care about how projects come together and enjoy helping people do their best work. You want to stay connected to the build while applying your experience to the processes, tools and practices that support successful project delivery.

At Rogers-O’Brien Construction, we’re looking for an Operational Excellence (OpX) Project Manager who understands the realities of construction and enjoys working alongside teams to make work clearer, simpler and more effective.

This role isn’t about change for the sake of change. It’s about helping people understand and apply the processes and tools we already have, recognizing what works well and identifying where a better approach is needed. Sometimes that means developing something new. Other times, it means refining an existing process, reinforcing expectations or helping a team use an available resource more effectively.

If you love construction, are naturally curious about technology and find satisfaction in helping others succeed, we’d like to meet you.

What you’ll do

• Stay connected to the field. Spend time on jobsites, work alongside project teams and understand how work gets done. Build relationships that keep OpX grounded in the realities of construction and the needs of the people delivering our projects.

• Help teams work effectively today. Coach teams on established processes, clarify expectations and help people get more value from the tools and resources already available. Recognize when the right answer is better understanding or more consistent execution, rather than a new solution.

• Develop, refine and audit processes. Work with field teams and corporate departments to document how work should happen, evaluate how processes are being applied and identify gaps. Help teams address those gaps through clearer guidance, practical support or targeted improvements.

• Understand the need before choosing the solution. Listen closely, uncover friction and distinguish the underlying challenge from the first proposed fix. Build on what works and recommend changes where they will make a meaningful difference.

• Take ideas from research to rollout. Evaluate technologies and processes, help pilot solutions and coordinate implementation, training and ongoing support.

• Connect tools and workflows. Collaborate with IT and internal stakeholders to explore software integrations, improve information flow and reduce unnecessary manual work.

• Keep initiatives moving and follow through. Define objectives, organize next steps, coordinate stakeholders and assess whether processes and tools are being adopted and delivering the intended results.

• Make guidance practical and accessible. Develop and maintain clear standard operating procedures, reference materials and guidance in RO’s company Playbook so teams can find and apply what they need.

• Support learning and adoption. Partner with Learning & Development to create training and communication that help teams confidently use established practices and navigate changes.

• Share what works. Use field feedback, process audits and data to refine approaches, reinforce effective practices and share lessons across regions.

What you’ll bring

• A minimum of 2 years of experience in construction, with an understanding of project workflows, key stakeholders and the realities of the jobsite.

• A genuine interest in staying connected to construction while helping improve project delivery for everyone involved.

• Strong problem-solving, organization and follow-through skills.

• The ability to listen closely, ask thoughtful questions and distinguish a requested solution from the underlying need.

• Clear communication skills, including the ability to explain a technical concept or process without making it more complicated.

• A collaborative approach and the confidence to work across field teams, corporate departments and IT.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity, learning as you go and adapting when new information changes the plan.

• Curiosity and confidence with technology, along with the judgment to recognize when a team needs a new tool, a refined process or help using what already exists.

What will help you stand out

• A bachelor’s degree or higher in architecture, engineering, construction management, computer science or a related field.

• Procore Admin Certification.

• Experience helping project teams use construction software effectively.

• Experience developing, refining or auditing processes and helping teams apply them consistently.

• Experience researching, evaluating and implementing new technologies or processes.

• Familiarity with software integrations and opportunities to improve how systems share information.

• Experience with training, change management or helping teams adopt new ways of working.

• Data center construction experience.

Where you’ll make an impact

This is a field-connected role, with an anticipated mix of approximately 60% field work and 40% office work. You’ll spend meaningful time with project teams, using firsthand experience to inform the guidance, support and improvements you help deliver.

Expect approximately 7–10 out-of-town trips per month, primarily day trips to RO’s Texas regions, with some overnight travel.
