Job Description

Construction Project Manager – Ground-Up Mixed-Use Development

\n

Location: Queens, NY

\n

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

\n

\n

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.

\n

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.

\n

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.

\n

\n

The key responsibilities of the Project Manager will be:

\n

\n

\n
• Manage the overall delivery of an 80+ unit ground-up mixed-use development

\n

• Oversee and coordinate the General Contractor and all major project stakeholders

\n

• Work closely with the Superintendent, architects, engineers, consultants and subcontractors

\n

• Manage project schedules, budgets, milestones and overall project performance

\n

• Review and monitor construction progress against the approved schedule

\n

• Review drawings, specifications, contracts and construction documentation

\n

• Identify potential project risks, delays and cost issues and implement appropriate solutions

\n

• Review change orders, payment applications, RFIs, submittals and project documentation

\n

• Coordinate with the design team to resolve construction and design-related issues

\n

• Attend and lead project, owner, contractor and coordination meetings

\n

• Monitor project costs and ensure work remains within the approved budget

\n

• Oversee quality control and ensure construction is being completed to the required standards

\n

• Coordinate inspections, testing, permitting and other project requirements

\n

• Maintain clear communication between ownership, the General Contractor and project consultants

\n

• Monitor site progress and ensure the project remains on schedule

\n

• Support the project through punch list, turnover and final closeout

\n

\n

\n

The ideal Project Manager will have:

\n

\n

\n
• 5+ years of experience as a Project Manager within the New York City construction market

\n

• Strong ground-up construction experience, ideally with residential or mixed-use developments

\n

• Proven experience managing projects from pre-construction through completion

\n

• Strong understanding of construction schedules, budgets and project controls

\n

• Experience overseeing General Contractors and multiple project stakeholders

\n

• Strong knowledge of construction drawings, specifications and contracts

\n

• Experience with change orders, RFIs, submittals, pay applications and project documentation

\n

• Excellent communication, organizational and problem-solving skills

\n

• Strong understanding of NYC construction processes and requirements

\n

• The ability to take ownership of a project and drive it through to successful completion

\n

\n

\n

What’s in it for you?

\n

\n

\n
• Salary up to $175,000

\n

• Opportunity to work on a substantial 80+ unit ground-up mixed-use development

\n

• Work directly on the owner/development side

\n

• Strong project pipeline

\n

• Opportunity for long-term career progression within the organization

\n

• Opportunity to oversee a major NYC development from the owner’s perspective
