Commercial Project Manager – Commercial Painting

About the Role

This is a field-based construction/trades project management role requiring hands-on experience with jobsite operations, equipment, and commercial projects.

CertaPro Painters is seeking a Commercial Project Manager to help expand our commercial painting presence throughout the Chicagoland area. This is a hybrid role designed for someone who can confidently manage job-site project execution *and* support business development efforts. As a key part of our commercial team, you'll support field-based project management and account building with property managers, facility directors, schools, HOAs, and business owners, helping open doors for the commercial team to bid and produce various commercial painting projects.

You’ll estimate projects, walk buildings, support scopes, attend client meetings, and then take ownership of projects through completion. The focus: high-quality execution, accurate planning, clear communication, and a great customer experience.

If you have real jobsite experience, know how projects run, and enjoy building relationships with facility leaders and property managers, this could be a strong long-term fit.
