Construction Project Manager (GC / Project Background)

Location: San Mateo, CA (In-Person, Bay Area)

About Primepoint

Primepoint is building construction intelligence for the physical world. We transform massive, static construction datasets (drawings, specifications, revisions, submittals) into an interactive, AI system that surfaces conflicts, answers complex questions, and reduces schedule and cost risk on $100M–$3B+ building projects. We go beyond LLM wrappers. Our mission requires deep multimodal reasoning, document understanding, and applied computer vision at production scale.

Our founders built Facebook’s first computer vision team and helped launch Facebook AI Research, and also founded startups in neural video compression (acquired by Apple).

Today, we are a 6-person technical team with $10M in seed funding and ~3 years of runway, already working with paying customers spanning major hospitals and large-scale commercial projects.

We are in-person in San Mateo 4 days a week because we believe tight collaboration accelerates product velocity.

The Role

We are hiring a Construction Project Manager / SME to serve as the bridge between industry and product.

You will:

• Work closely with customers (general contractors, design firms, developers)

• Work closely with our team to define feature requirements, establish roadmaps, and communicate seamlessly with all stakeholders about progress and timelines.

• Translate real-world workflow pain points into product improvements and partner with our software engineers to define, test, and harden features to deliver in real world conditions

• Validate constructability issues, drawing conflicts, and change detection

• Support client relations

• Manage client deliverables and commitments

• Support Go To Market and Business Development activities

• Collaborate with the engineering team on product functionality, quality, and roadmap

• Own operational initiatives beyond engineering

You will help shape the product from the perspective of someone who has lived with construction project complexity.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• 3–5 years at a large general contractor

• Experience as a Senior Project Engineer, Assistant PM, or Project Manager

• Deep understanding of RFIs, submittals, constructability reviews, revisions, procurement, scheduling, contracting, construction coordination, etc.

• Demonstrated ownership — not just processing paperwork, but driving outcomes

• Bay Area-based and willing to work in person

Ideal, but not required

• Fast promotions (PE → SPE → APM)

• Experience on large vertical building projects (commercial, hospital, high-rise)

• Strong communication skills and customer credibility

• Female candidates strongly encouraged (commitment to early diversity)

Interview Process

• Quick Recruiter chat
