Construction Project Manager

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.

• 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

• 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
