Construction Project Manager

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.

• Support Entitlement approvals phase through evaluation of project feasibility and constructability studies.
• Generate and publish a Budget Control Report on a regular cadence to the internal project team that captures potential cost for any proposed modifications of assumptions between design package releases to allow for decision making and real‑time cost impacts to be known.
• Develop, review, analyze and challenge construction budgets and schedules.
• Author, not just participate, in value analysis/value engineering to ensure maximum return on the project.
• Champion Development Manager's holistic best interest throughout the preconstruction phase balancing program, aesthetic, cost, schedule and constructability.
• Create RFPs and participate with Vice President in negotiation of the scope and business terms of the agreement.
• Work with the development and design team to achieve timely completion of coordinated documents while meeting the respective design milestone parameters for each stage of the design.
• Review all phases of Construction Documents for completeness, compliance and design milestone requirements and constructability assumptions.
• Identify, evaluate and manage procurement of long‑lead items.
• Create, review and manage site logistics and overall construction sequencing and planning in regard to cost, schedule, regulatory and safety factors (in order to identify and mitigate adverse impact on the site and surrounding uses).
• On projects where BIM is utilized in close collaboration with Design Manager, Project Manager oversee the development and implementation of BIM procedures on each project to enhance design efficiency and coordination.
• Challenge design decisions with a focus on cost, constructability, and schedule implications, not just coordination. Drive early alignment between design,…
