Project Manager

Project Manager – Ground-Up Mixed-Use Development

Location: Queens, NY

Salary: Up to $175,000 + 401k and comprehensive benefits

I am currently working with a Development Firm who is looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to oversee the delivery of an 80+ unit mixed-use development in Queens.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager with strong ground-up construction experience to take a leading role on a major development, working alongside an experienced project management team and overseeing the General Contractor from the owner’s side — without the pressures of working directly for a General Contractor.

The Project Manager will have overall responsibility for managing the project from pre-construction through completion, ensuring the development is delivered on schedule, within budget and to the required quality standards.

The key responsibilities of the Project Manager will be:

• Manage the overall delivery of an 80+ unit ground-up mixed-use development
• Oversee and coordinate the General Contractor and all major project stakeholders
• Work closely with the Superintendent, architects, engineers, consultants and subcontractors
• Manage project schedules, budgets, milestones and overall project performance
• Review and monitor construction progress against the approved schedule
• Review drawings, specifications, contracts and construction documentation
• Identify potential project risks, delays and cost issues and implement appropriate solutions
• Review change orders, payment applications, RFIs, submittals and project documentation
• Coordinate with the design team to resolve construction and design-related issues
• Attend and lead project, owner, contractor and coordination meetings
• Monitor project costs and ensure work remains within the approved budget
• Oversee quality control and ensure construction is being completed to the required standards
• Coordinate inspections, testing, permitting and other project requirements
• Maintain clear communication between ownership, the General Contractor and project consultants
• Monitor site progress and ensure the project remains on schedule
• Support the project through punch list, turnover and final closeout

The ideal Project Manager will have:

• 5+ years of experience as a Project Manager within the New York City construction market
• Strong ground-up construction experience, ideally with residential or mixed-use developments
• Proven experience managing projects from pre-construction through completion
• Strong understanding of construction schedules, budgets and project controls
• Experience overseeing General Contractors and multiple project stakeholders
• Strong knowledge of construction drawings, specifications and contracts
• Experience with change orders, RFIs, submittals, pay applications and project documentation
• Excellent communication, organizational and problem-solving skills
• Strong understanding of NYC construction processes and requirements
• The ability to take ownership of a project and drive it through to successful completion

What’s in it for you?

• Salary up to $175,000
• Opportunity to work on a substantial 80+ unit ground-up mixed-use development
• Work directly on the owner/development side
• Strong project pipeline
• Opportunity for long-term career progression within the organization
• Opportunity to oversee a major NYC development from the owner’s perspective
