• Full-time

WHO WE ARE

Equinox is a category of one, setting the global standard for luxury health, wellness, and hospitality. Our spaces are intentionally elevated, our standards uncompromising, and our expectations high. We attract people who take pride in excellence, care deeply about quality, and want to be part of something that feels different the moment you walk through the door.
We are builders, operators, and innovators who believe great environments and meaningful human connection change lives. Diversity, belonging, and ownership aren’t slogans here, they’re how we work. At Equinox, colleagues don’t just support the business; they shape the future of wellness. Because for us, it’s not fitness. It’s life.

WHAT WE DO

We create premium, immersive experiences where performance, hospitality, design, and human connection converge—and every detail matters. This is not a traditional fitness environment. It is a place where high standards, accountability, and pride in craft define the work.
Fueled by an entrepreneurial mindset, we trust our people with real responsibility and real impact. Growth is earned through action, learning is hands‑on, and careers are built by those who want to operate at the highest level. At Equinox, we don’t just offer opportunities—we offer long‑term pathways for people who want to do meaningful work in an environment that expects more and delivers more.

Equinox is looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager to oversee new club developments. In this role, you will manage projects from early planning and budgeting through construction and final closeout.

This leadership role requires in-depth field experience and strong budget management skills. You will serve as the main point of contact for the company, managing architects, engineers, and general contractors while keeping landlords and internal teams aligned. You will oversee project scope, costs, and quality while helping teams resolve field challenges and maintain Equinox’s premium standards.

This position requires deep construction knowledge, strong financial oversight, and a proven ability to manage diverse stakeholders. The ideal candidate has a background in hospitality, high-end retail, or design-focused commercial interiors, with a commitment to delivering high-quality spaces.

• Own the Project Financials: Manage project budgets, forecasts, pay applications, and change orders. You will evaluate cost exposures and negotiate changes aggressively to protect the budget.
• Drive Pre-Construction: Partner on site evaluations, feasibility studies, due diligence, contractor bidding, bid leveling, and contract awards.
• Coordinate Design & Constructability: Review construction documents with internal design teams and external consultants to spot constructability conflicts, code issues, or departures from prototype standards early.
• Enforce Luxury Quality Standards: Conduct regular site visits to protect design intent. You will closely inspect high-end finishes, including custom millwork, complex lighting, specialty tile, athletic flooring, and acoustic detailing.
• Manage Handoffs & Closeouts: Lead substantial-completion walks, punch-list resolution, equipment commissioning, and smooth handoffs to our Club Operations and Facilities teams.
