What are the responsibilities and job description for the Commercial Construction Project Manager - Franchise Brand position at 2ULaundry?
LaundroLab is an emerging laundromat franchise brand committed to building beautiful, modern, and highly functional laundromats that elevate the customer experience. Laundromats are simple in design but oftentimes are quite complicated to build once you consider accommodating the nuanced permitting requirements, unique demands of specialized plumbing, electrical systems, and high-capacity machines. We're looking for a talented and experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager to lead our team into new projects with a new emphasis on getting laundromats built on schedule and on budget.
Why This Role Matters :
Building laundromats is an intricate process. Each project involves managing expensive equipment orders, coordinating with specialized contractors, and navigating complex build-out requirements. The Commercial Construction Project Manager will play a critical role in ensuring our franchise partners succeed by managing projects on time and within budget. Every delay in opening a laundromat costs our franchisees valuable revenue, making your role essential to their success and to the growth of LaundroLab.
Success in this role means managing an active pipeline of commercial construction projects—each delivered on or before its scheduled opening date and within stated budgetary constraints. This includes fostering positive, efficient vendor partnerships, creating and maintaining robust documentation to guide franchisees, and continuously seeking opportunities for cost savings without compromising quality. Ultimately, the goal is to help franchisees open their laundromats smoothly and profitably, reinforcing LaundroLab's standing as a leader in modern laundromat construction.
