Project Executive - Education & Institutional Projects New York City
Here's a chance to build and lead a whole division in an established GC with huge growth plans.
They’re investing in and growing a division focusing on Education and Institutional projects in NYC, and they want a true delivery leader to own it from the ground up.
This isn't a BD role. You'll still be a builder first - walking jobs, leading teams, protecting margin - but with the autonomy to shape a whole sector around you. There are already warm relationships with the kind of clients you'd recognize. Your job is to deepen them and grow a real pipeline and lead teams to deliver quality work.
They're not looking for a fort; they want a partner to help shape what the next version of this firm looks like in education and institutional work: the processes, the standards, the talent.
If you’re looking for a greater challenge, with a seat at the leadership table of a growing business with huge growth potential this role can give you that and more.
About you:- NYC / Tri-State GC/CM experience - hands‑on delivery experience as Project Executive/ Senior Project Manager with a GC/CM
- A track record running projects bid-to-closeout, under both stipulated/ lump‑sum and GMP/CM contracts, with strong scheduling and financial controls (cost‑to‑complete, WIP, margin recovery)
- Education and/ or institutional credibility - existing relationships with institutional owners/ educational clients and strong relationships with relevant owner's rep firms plus strong NYC subcontractor knowledge
- Genuine line‑management experience - you've led 6‑8 people (PMs, APMs) with real accountability for their reviews, development and performance
- Passion for mentoring and developing teams – you're accessible with an adaptive leadership style
Offer:
- Base salary circa $250k-300k + Bonus
- Long term incentive plan
- Comprehensive healthcare plans
- 401k + match
