Drywall Project Manager (Commercial Construction)

About Magnum Drywall

Magnum Drywall is a premier multi-trade finishing subcontractor serving Silicon Valley since 1991. We are known for speed, precision, and zero-punch delivery across Drywall, Division 10 Specialties, Acoustical Ceilings, Paint & Wall Coverings, and Plaster.

Our mission is simple: build better lives for our employees, customers, and communities.

We operate by five core values:

  • All One Safe Team
  • We Tell It Straight
  • Zero Punch
  • We Set the Standard
  • Passionate for What We Do

If you want to work with professionals who take pride in their craft and finish what they start, keep reading.

The Role

We're hiring a Drywall Project Manager to take commercial projects from pre-construction to close-out. You own the outcome: scope verified, paperwork clean, schedule held, client satisfied, margin protected.

You'll report to the Head of Drywall and work alongside Project Engineers, Superintendents, and field crews.

This is not a seat-warmer role. We're looking for an operator who runs projects, not someone who waits for projects to run them.

What You'll Actually Do

  • Manage assigned commercial drywall projects from pre-con through final close-out and retention release

  • Price change orders, adds, and revisions in QuickBid accurately and on time (we measure this weekly)

  • Review scope, pricing, and cost on every project before work starts — and again when anything changes

  • Own the monthly billing cycle — every month, no exceptions

  • Review and approve subcontractor and vendor invoices weekly in Foundation

  • Monitor project schedules and drive the team to hit completion deadlines

  • Build real relationships with GCs and project teams — face time on the jobsite, not just emails

  • Respond to client requests within 2 hours during business hours

  • Follow up with clients after close-out to lock in repeat work

  • Keep Project Engineers on task and moving — you're their leader, not their babysitter

  • Understand the P&L on every job you touch and defend the margin

What We Require

  • 3+ years managing commercial drywall, plaster, or related trade projects

  • Proven ability to verify scope against construction documents and defend it in GC meetings

  • Proficient in On-Screen Takeoff (OST) and QuickBid — you can run a takeoff and build a change order bid without hand-holding

  • Proficient in Procore (non-negotiable)

  • Working understanding of construction P&L — you can read a job cost report and tell me where the problem is

  • Organized, detail-oriented, and fast on email and phone

  • You delegate well and ask for help when you need it — ego doesn't ship projects

  • Clean driving record, ability to pass a background check and drug screen

Nice to Have

  • Experience with change order-heavy projects ($200K+ in CO volume per quarter)

  • Existing relationships with Silicon Valley general contractors

  • Estimating background

What You Get

  • Competitive salary: $85K - $120K

  • Vehicle Allowance

  • Generous Bonus program
  • Health, dental, vision

  • 401k

  • PTO

  • A team that tells it straight, shows up safe, and gets paid to set the standard
