About This Role:

The Workplace Design and Construction Project Manager leads workplace and facility projects from early planning and design through construction, turnover, and closeout across corporate, manufacturing, and distribution environments. This role is ideal for a project leader with deep Interior Design or Interior Architecture experience who can bridge workplace planning, design, and construction execution. The successful candidate will bring strong AutoCAD and design documentation capabilities, experience developing master plans and space/workplace plans, and hands-on knowledge of Construction Administration. Strong project controls are also essential, including Stage Gate and governance documentation, detailed MS Project scheduling, and professional PowerPoint presentations for project teams and leadership.

  • Preliminary Stage:
  • Serve as the owner’s representative and primary point of coordination among business stakeholders, site leadership, Workplace Solutions, Procurement, Finance, Legal, Risk Management, Safety/EHS, design partners, contractors, and vendors.
  • Work with business stakeholders and design and construction partners to evaluate project feasibility, site constraints, operational impacts, safety requirements, and potential execution risks.
  • Develop project strategy, scope definition, programming requirements, preliminary schedules, high-level estimates, and business cases that support capital planning and approval decisions.
  • Prepare detailed budgets and partner with Finance to develop capital approval packages, funding requests, forecasts, and executive-level project recommendations.
  • Partner with Procurement to create RFPs, solicit bids, evaluate proposals, compare scope alignment, identify exclusions or gaps, and present recommendations to Workplace Solutions Leadership, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Distribution Teams, Procurement, Risk Management, Legal, and Safety teams.
  • Lead regular project updates, document key decisions and action items, maintain stakeholder alignment, and escalate risks or constraints that may affect scope, budget, schedule, safety, or operations.
  • Evaluate trends in workplace design, construction delivery, materials, cost savings, sustainability, standardization, and process improvement, and present recommendations to improve existing design and project delivery standards.
  • Design and Pre-Construction:
  • Partner with in-house teams, design consultants, furniture providers, branding partners, site stakeholders, and other vendors to develop final plans, define workplace requirements, and confirm special areas required for the business.
  • Prepare detailed bid analyses, savings logs, value-engineering recommendations, scope clarifications, and commercial comparisons to support informed award decisions.
  • Coordinate design-related contracts, purchase orders, change orders, exhibits, schedules of values, allowances, alternates, insurance requirements, and other commercial documentation.
  • Prepare final budgets and executive submissions for review and approval by the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and other governance bodies as required.
  • Ensure required permits, certificates of insurance, safety documentation, applicable letters of credit, and site-specific compliance requirements are obtained before work begins.
  • Coordinate with design partners and contractors to develop, maintain, and execute scopes of work, specifications, drawings, schedules, and construction deliverables.
  • Identify, document, monitor, and mitigate risks related to scope, schedule, budget, procurement, safety, food/manufacturing site requirements, business continuity, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Construction:
  • Maintain current construction documents, drawing logs, field records, approved submittals, RFIs, shop drawings, and other project controls documentation.
  • Manage project schedules, budgets, cost forecasts, drawing logs, meeting cadence, and regular progress meetings with internal stakeholders, site teams, consultants, contractors, and vendors.
  • Ensure timely review and processing of GC, subcontractor, furniture, flooring, décor, branding, consultant, and vendor invoices and applications for payment.
  • Write and coordinate construction-related RFPs, contracts, purchase orders, and change orders; maintain records of field work, scope changes, cost impacts, schedule impacts, and decisions.
  • Coordinate contractor safety plans, site access, badging, shutdown windows, utility impacts, food/manufacturing site protocols, and operational constraints with site leadership and Safety/EHS teams.
  • Observe jobsite conditions, identify safety hazards or compliance concerns, and work with the GC, subcontractors, site teams, and appropriate authorities to drive timely resolution.
  • Post-Construction and Projects Closing:
  • Confirm final project cost, reconcile commitments, resolve open financial items, and support accurate closeout reporting.
  • Obtain, assemble, distribute, and file as-built drawings, design standards books, warranties, operations and maintenance documentation, certificates of occupancy, final lien releases, and other closeout records.
  • Conduct pre-walks, punch walks, final walks, and turnover reviews with all relevant subject matter experts, site stakeholders, vendors, and Workplace Solutions teams.
  • Transition completed projects to the Workplace Solutions Facility Services team or local stakeholders, and support move management, change management, lessons learned, and post-occupancy follow-up as needed.

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Interior Design, Engineering, Construction Management, Construction Administration, Project Management, or a related field, or equivalent experience; equivalent experience defined as 8 years of relevant professional-level experience in the same or similar field.
