Facilities Project Manager

McKinley is looking for a Facilities Project Manager to join our team and play a key role in protecting, improving, and extending the value of our multifamily communities.

This is a hands‑on project management role for someone who understands facilities, construction, and property improvement—and knows how to turn a problem in the field into a clearly defined project with the right scope, budget, contractor, and plan.

You’ll manage projects from the initial assessment and scoping stage through bidding, contractor selection, construction, inspection, and final closeout. Projects can range from targeted repairs such as balconies, fascia, and gutters to larger capital improvements involving asphalt, concrete, roofing, exterior painting, seal coating, and building‑envelope work.

The Facilities Project Manager will work closely with Property Operations, Asset Management, Risk Management, vendors, and contractors across McKinley’s communities.

Location: Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, MI

Compensation: $100,000 – $110,000 base salary + Bonus Potential
