Uprite Construction is looking for an experienced Project Director to join our Irvine team. This person will provide leadership across complex commercial construction projects while supporting project teams, client relationships, financial performance, and overall project execution.
We are specifically looking for someone who has built their career working for a commercial general contractor and brings strong cold storage construction experience.

Review project schedules and work closely with field leadership to identify risks and keep projects moving
Provide guidance on complex construction challenges involving refrigeration systems, insulated building envelopes, temperature controlled environments, specialized MEP systems, and cold storage operations
Lead contract negotiations, subcontractor buyout, procurement, and major project decisions
Identify project risks early and work with teams to develop practical solutions
Ensure project teams maintain strong communication, documentation, quality, safety, and client service

We are looking for someone who understands how a commercial general contractor operates and has personally been responsible for delivering projects, managing project financials, leading teams, coordinating subcontractors, and maintaining client relationships.
Cold storage experience is an important part of this position.
