About the Role

Under the supervision of the Vice President, Project Delivery, the Project Manager provides leadership and oversight for the day-to-day Project Management and Administration activities associated with the construction of assigned projects, working in close coordination with the design and development team. The Project Manager must be able to perform hands-on management of project planning, design assist, preconstruction, and construction in a fast-paced environment, while operating with a high level of ownership, accountability, and urgency.

This role requires a developer mindset, balancing design intent, cost, schedule, lease-up timing, and long-term asset performance to protect and enhance overall project value.

The Project Manager is required to prioritize multiple tasks and demands, supervise a team of contractors and consultants, and proactively communicate project status, risks, and key decisions to the Vice President and internal stakeholders-providing clear recommendations and options rather than simply reporting issues. They are expected to actively influence outcomes, not just manage process, and to maintain a clear understanding of how construction decisions can impact yield, timing, and overall returns, supporting the development team by providing accurate, timely cost, schedule, and risk information as these impacts evolve.

Responsibilities further consist of managing various sizes and volumes of projects from preconstruction planning through build out and occupancy phases, including project closeout with financial reconciliation.

The individual will serve as a secondary stakeholder for each assigned project and primary point of contact for coordinating construction and preconstruction responsibilities with third-party consultants, contractors, architects, engineers, vendors, and government agencies, acting as a liaison between internal cross-functional technical teams as well as leasing and operations. In addition to managing the day-to-day operations of the project, the Project Manager is responsible for assisting in overseeing and maintaining project cost analysis, budgets, and construction schedules;

enforcing cost and schedule discipline; and proactively identifying risks and opportunities that may affect the project's goals and objectives.
