Outdoor Living & Landscape Build
North Jersey (Bergen County area)  |  Full-time

An established design and build firm specializing in high-end outdoor living and landscape construction is seeking an experienced, hands-on Field Project Manager to lead site work from ground-breaking through final walkthrough.

This is a field-forward role for someone who is equally comfortable reading a site plan, running a crew, and standing on a job managing grading, drainage, and surface work. You will own execution in the field and be the on-site point person our clients and crews rely on.

What you'll do:
  • Manage residential and light-commercial outdoor construction projects from site prep through completion.
  • Oversee grading, base preparation, drainage, hardscape, and finish surfacing.
  • Coordinate subcontractors, deliveries, and daily crew scheduling.
  • Read and execute against site plans, elevations, and scopes of work.
  • Handle permit-related site requirements and inspections in the field.
  • Track progress, quality, and budget against project targets.
  • Serve as the on-site relationship point for homeowners and property managers.

What we're looking for:
  • 5+ years in landscape construction, site work, hardscape, paving, or civil/outdoor build management.
  • Proven ability to run a crew and hold a schedule.
  • Strong understanding of grading, drainage, and base/surface systems.
  • Comfortable with project management tools and basic reporting.
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) a strong plus.

What we offer:
  • Competitive base plus performance bonus tied to project margin.
  • Steady pipeline of premium projects across the tri-state area.
  • Room to grow into a senior operations role.

To apply, reply with a brief background and any project photos or references. All inquiries handled confidentially.
