Before you post it

Confirm the classification. This template is marked exempt. Whether a specific Construction Project Manager role is exempt depends on its actual duties and pay, so check it against the FLSA duties and salary tests (and any stricter state rules) before you finalize it.
Add pay details if your state requires them. A growing number of states require a pay range, and sometimes benefits or an application deadline, in job postings. Check a posting for free.
Tailor the essential functions. They should describe what this role does at your organization. Generic duties are harder to defend when a job description is used for accommodation, classification, or performance decisions.
