We are seeking an experienced A/E Project Manager to lead architecture and engineering projects from initial kickoff through design, permitting, construction, and final delivery.

The Project Manager will work closely with architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and other stakeholders to keep multidisciplinary teams aligned and projects moving forward.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary design project management and is comfortable taking ownership of projects, identifying issues early, driving accountability, and communicating directly with clients.
Responsibilities
- Lead architecture and engineering projects from kickoff through design, permitting, construction, and final delivery.
- Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, milestones, deliverables, and client communication.

- Establish priorities and maintain alignment across project teams, schedules, budgets, and client objectives.
- Monitor project progress and follow up on outstanding deliverables to maintain schedule performance.
- Identify scope gaps, coordination issues, design conflicts, and project risks early in the project lifecycle.
- Work with multidisciplinary teams to resolve design and scope issues before they affect schedule, budget, or quality.
- Coordinate workflows across architectural, engineering, permitting, and construction phases.
- Communicate directly with clients, provide project updates, address concerns, and manage expectations.
- Coordinate design reviews, project milestones, permitting requirements, and construction-phase activities.
- Monitor project requirements and deliverables to ensure alignment with contracts, client expectations, and project goals.

- Strong client-facing communication and relationship-management skills.
- Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and project leadership abilities.
- Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and milestones simultaneously.
