Job Description
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Construction Project Consultant to join our team. This role is not a traditional construction project management position. Instead, the successful candidate will act as a trusted advisor to developers, contractors, and subcontractors, guiding them on how to effectively plan, manage, and control their construction projects using Procore software.
The ideal candidate will bring a minimum of 8 years of experience within the construction industry, with strong technical construction knowledge, solid project management fundamentals, and the seniority required to consult on complex, multi-region projects. While prior experience with Procore is a strong advantage, it is not a requirement. What is essential is proven experience managing construction projects using ERP systems, project management platforms, or similar enterprise solutions, enabling the candidate to quickly translate industry best practices into system-driven workflows.
In this role, the candidate will serve as a Lead Functional Implementer and Senior Project Management Consultant, responsible for leading end-to-end system implementations, advising clients on governance, cost control, and reporting frameworks, and ensuring successful adoption of Procore across their organizations. The position requires a confident, senior-level professional who can operate effectively across multiple time zones, lead implementation engagements from initiation through go-live, and bridge the gap between construction operations and digital project management systems.
