About the Company – Celebrating 100 Years of Building Community & 100% Employee-Owned 

Higley Construction has been one of the most experienced and respected construction firms in the region. The company surpassed 100 years in business—a century shaped by an unwavering commitment to its core values of people, ethics, respect, commitment, and excellence. Since its founding in 1925, Higley Construction has partnered with clients to bring their goals and visions to life, consistently guided by honesty, integrity, and mutual respect. 

At Higley Construction, we build more than buildings — we build trust, relationships, and communities. From the offices where you work, to the schools where you learn, and the hospitals where you heal, we create environments where people can live, work, and thrive. With every project, we go beyond bricks and mortar to connect people and place, delivering spaces that stand the test of time.  

As a 100% Employee-Owned Company, we foster a culture of shared success, job stability, and long-term financial growth for all employees. Within the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), you're building more than a career — you're building ownership. 

Position Overview:

The Project Manager (PM) is an experienced construction professional responsible for successfully delivering healthcare construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. This role manages one or more projects at a time, with a strong emphasis on safety, regulatory compliance, infection control, and client satisfaction within active or occupied healthcare environments. The PM serves as the Owner’s primary point of contact for all business, contractual, and operational matters and works in close partnership with the Project Superintendent and Project Executive. This position splits time between the office and field, with frequent site visits and potential full-time on-site presence depending on project needs.

 

This role is ideal for candidates with a strong background in healthcare construction, including hospitals, medical office buildings, surgical centers, specialty clinics, and other regulated healthcare facilities.

 

 Responsibilities:

  • Lead healthcare construction projects with a strong focus on safety, quality, schedule, budget, and regulatory compliance.
  • Serve as the primary liaison between Higley Construction, healthcare system representatives, facilities teams, clinicians, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.
  • Manage projects within active healthcare environments, demonstrating a clear understanding of operational sensitivity, patient safety, and facility continuity.
  • Ensure compliance with healthcare-specific requirements including ICRA, PCRA, ANSI standards, interim life safety measures (ILSM), and infection control protocols.
  • Successfully plan, execute, and manage project schedules with critical milestones while minimizing disruption to ongoing healthcare operations.
  • Lead cost management efforts including budgeting, forecasting, change management, and P&L reporting.
  • Identify and manage project risks associated with healthcare construction, including phasing, logistics, interim conditions, and regulatory oversight.
  • Review and negotiate subcontractor and supplier agreements, ensuring alignment with healthcare standards and owner requirements.
  • Oversee quality control measures and proactively address common healthcare construction challenges.
  • Facilitate and lead Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) and subcontractor meetings.
  • Maintain strong working relationships with healthcare clients to support repeat work and future business opportunities.
  • Mentor and lead Project Engineers and other project team members, ensuring consistency with healthcare project standards and best practices.
  • Demonstrate professionalism, sound judgment, and leadership when navigating complex project challenges and sensitive situations.
  • Perform additional related duties as assigned.

Skills and Abilities:

  • Strong understanding of healthcare construction workflows, regulatory requirements, and owner expectations.
  • Ability to effectively manage construction activities in occupied or operational healthcare facilities.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to interact confidently with clinical staff, facilities teams, executives, and consultants.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think proactively in high-risk, fast-paced environments.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills with a collaborative, team-oriented approach.
  • Proficiency in construction software and willingness to learn new technologies.
  • Solid understanding of construction accounting, cost forecasting, and healthcare project financial controls.
  • Ability to “manage up” and communicate clearly with internal leadership and external stakeholders.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Minimum of 5+ years of progressive construction experience, with a strong preference for healthcare experience.
  • Demonstrated experience managing healthcare projects such as hospitals, medical office buildings, surgical centers, or similar facilities.
  • Industry certifications are a plus, including but not limited to OSHA, USGBC, CMAA, ASHE, or Healthcare Construction Certificate (HCC).
  • Experience working within active healthcare environments strongly preferred.
