About the Role

Our client is based in San Antonio and expanding their Interiors Subcontracting team. They're seeking a results-driven Drywall Project Manager with estimating experience. From estimating and scheduling to field execution, safety, and budget, this PM / Estimator partners directly with executive leadership to support and expand their existing client base, strengthen field performance, and be a key member of this high-performing team as the company continues to grow in San Antonio.

Key Responsibilities

Lead project delivery, margin protection, and schedule adherence across multiple interiors projects (drywall, framing, ceilings).

Manager / Doer, this role will work closely with clients and preconstruction through delivery and supporting disciplined bid handoffs.

Collaborate with a field team of superintendents and foremen, driving safety, accountability, and results.

A consistent operating rhythm: WIP reviews, cash/AR tracking, and risk management.

Experience with standardized procurement, vendor relationships, and logistics to reduce waste and delays.

Lead project estimating across multiple interiors projects (drywall/metal stud, framing, ceilings).

Manage estimating (including outsourced partners) and enforce disciplined bid handoffs.

Build and maintain productive relationships with architects, developers, owners and contractors.

Facilitate and engage internal bid reviews with project team.

Negotiate and confirm contract scope inclusions & exclusions.

Candidate Profile

8+ years of experience in commercial interiors subcontracting or GC operations (drywall/metal stud preferred).
Estimating experience with digital takeoffs and scope assembly is preferred but not required.
Proven success leading multiple projects of various size and scope with strong financial and operational results.
Field-first leader with excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Bonus: Multi-trade exposure and San Antonio market relationships.

Why This Role Stands Out

This company is big enough to do complex projects with recognized clients, yet small enough where everyone is rewarded for their personal accomplishments and recognized for their emphasis on craftsmanship, efficiency, and attention to detail. Their commercial finish-out involves a range of work from structural enhancements to final finishes. If your commitment to a high-quality standard of work is not being recognized, let’s talk.
