  • Manage general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, consultants, vendors, and other project partners throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Review architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other construction documents to identify risks, constructability concerns, and opportunities for cost and schedule efficiencies.
  • Coordinate permitting, inspections, approvals, and other requirements with local planning and building departments, utilities, and municipal agencies.
  • Monitor project budgets, schedules, forecasts, and change orders to maintain financial and operational accountability.
  • Coordinate RFIs, submittals, inspections, product approvals, change management, and project documentation.
  • Conduct regular site visits and provide on-site oversight to ensure work meets plans, specifications, quality expectations, safety requirements, and project milestones.
  • Partner with property management, operations, leasing, and other internal teams to assess the impact of construction projects on residents, properties, and ongoing operations.
  • Identify and proactively mitigate project risks, communicating changes, delays, and recommendations to leadership and key stakeholders.
  • Coordinate project turnover, licensing, insurance requirements, closeout documentation, and final inspections.
  • Support annual and project-level capital planning and provide recommendations related to scope, cost, schedule, risk, and expected project value.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with contractors, consultants, municipal representatives, utilities, and other industry partners.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities while maintaining strong attention to detail and project accountability.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of construction management experience, with experience in multifamily residential development, ground-up construction, renovation, or special projects.
  • Experience working for a real estate owner, developer, construction management firm, or general contractor.
  • Demonstrated experience managing projects from preconstruction through completion, including budgeting, scheduling, permitting, construction, and closeout.

  • Strong understanding of construction means and methods, building systems, permitting, inspections, and applicable building codes.
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, landscape, and other construction documents.
  • Experience evaluating existing building conditions and developing scopes of work, budgets, schedules, and project recommendations.
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to manage budgets, schedules, contracts, and multiple concurrent projects.

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to clearly communicate project risks, changes, recommendations, and decisions.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with construction, project management, document management, budgeting, scheduling, and collaboration software.
  • Ability to travel regularly to active construction and development sites.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred, particularly in construction management, engineering, architecture, business, or a related field.
  • Experience with multifamily ground-up development and new construction.
  • Experience with accessory dwelling units, unit conversions, infill construction, or similar residential development projects.
  • Experience navigating local permitting, entitlement, utility coordination, inspections, and municipal requirements.
  • Multifamily renovation or capital improvement experience.
