Project Director

Sheridan Construction

Project Portfolio: Higher Education, K-12, Medical, Commercial and other significant community and state-wide projects

Sheridan Construction is seeking an experienced Project Director to lead multi-million-dollar commercial and institutional projects from preconstruction through closeout. This is a senior leadership opportunity for a construction professional who wants to shape meaningful projects, develop strong teams, build lasting client relationships, and have a direct voice in the business without getting lost in the bureaucracy of a large corporate organization.

Founded in 1947 and 100% employee-owned, Sheridan combines long-standing Georgia credibility with the accessibility and influence of a regional builder. As Project Director, you will oversee the business of your projects, not simply manage individual jobs, and partner closely with Operations, Preconstruction, project teams, and senior leadership. You will represent Sheridan with owners, design partners, universities, healthcare organizations, school systems, and other institutional clients.

What You’ll Do
• Lead project portfolios: Provide strategic oversight from preconstruction through closeout, with responsibility for schedule, budget, quality, risk, and client satisfaction.
• Develop strong teams: Lead and mentor Project Managers, Superintendents, and other project team members while reinforcing accountability, communication, and operational excellence.
• Own client relationships: Serve as a senior point of contact, translating complex construction issues into clear decisions and maintaining trust throughout the project lifecycle.
• Partner in preconstruction: Collaborate with Estimating and Preconstruction during design-build, CM-at-Risk, and other delivery methods to strengthen constructability, value, budgets, and execution plans.
• Manage risk proactively: Review schedules, cost forecasts, change management, procurement, and project controls to identify issues early and protect project outcomes.
• Help shape the business: Participate in client meetings, pursuit strategy, team development, and continuous improvement while helping Sheridan grow responsibly.

What We’re Looking For
• Significant progressive experience in commercial general contracting, ideally including leadership of K-12, Higher Education, Medical, or comparable institutional work.
• A demonstrated record of successfully leading large individual projects or concurrent project portfolios.
• Strong financial, scheduling, risk-management, and preconstruction knowledge.
• Executive-level communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with owners, design professionals, trade partners, and internal teams.
• A leadership style centered on coaching, accountability, collaboration, and developing the next generation of construction professionals.
• A bachelor’s degree in Construction Management/Science, Civil Engineering, or a related field is preferred.

Why Sheridan
Sheridan offers the stability and reputation of an established Georgia builder with the opportunity to make a visible impact. Our employee-ownership culture is built around Safety, Teamwork, Integrity, and Ownership. Project leaders have access to decision-makers, the opportunity to influence how work is delivered, and a clear role in developing people and strengthening client relationships.
For the right candidate, this is more than the next project. It is an opportunity to build long-term ownership value, lead meaningful work, grow professionally, and help create spaces that transform communities for generations.
