Submit resume directly to the Principal for review.

By Landmark is a New Jersey-based hospitality company, headquartered in Plainfield, NJ, that owns and operates a portfolio of restaurants, boutique hotels, and event venues. We are defined by an unwavering commitment to quality, craft, and guest experience — values that extend to every project we take on.

This is a newly created position — part of a deliberate effort to formalize and strengthen how By Landmark manages its construction program as the company grows and enters a new phase of expansion. The two Project Manager roles being created — this in-house operations position and a parallel role focused on third-party construction oversight — are designed to work in concert, with shared accountability to the Chief Construction Officer and Director of Development, and a common standard of excellence across all project delivery.

We are seeking an experienced and driven Project Manager to join the By Landmark family and lead our in-house operations. This individual will own end-to-end project execution — from pre-construction planning through delivery and Certificate of Occupancy — ensuring every project meets design intent, brand standards, and operational timelines. As the primary point of accountability across all active projects — capital expenditure programs, asset remodels, expansions, and renovations — this person will work hand-in-hand with our seasoned craftsmen and report directly to the Principal.

The role is based at our Plainfield, NJ headquarters with approximately 50% of time spent in the field.

The In-House Operations Project Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering all construction and renovation projects executed by By Landmark's in-house trades team. This role demands someone equally comfortable reviewing pre-construction drawings as walking a job site with a plumber or electrician. Given that many of our projects are hospitality and guest-facing environments, a deep understanding of finishes — materials, millwork, tile, stone, paint, and FF&E — is essential;

the right candidate will have a practiced eye for quality and know how to hold a team accountable to design intent at the detail level.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project Planning & Execution
• Lead pre-construction activities including scope development, budget validation, permitting strategy, trade coordination, and schedule establishment
• Manage multiple concurrent projects including capital expenditures, remodels, expansions, and renovations
• Ensure every project is delivered in alignment with design intent, By Landmark brand standards, and operational timelines
• Develop detailed project schedules, scopes of work, budgets, and resource plans
• Drive the close-out process through final inspections, punch lists, and Certificate of Occupancy milestone
• Ensure all work complies with applicable building codes, safety regulations, and permit requirements
• Team Leadership & Coordination
• Coordinate daily activities of in-house craftsmen across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, sprinkler, and other trades
• Conduct regular field visits to monitor progress, enforce quality standards, and resolve on-site issues
• Foster a collaborative, family-oriented team culture that reflects By Landmark's values
• Provide clear direction and scheduling to ensure tradespeople are productive and not waiting on decisions or materials
• Financial Oversight
• Develop and manage project budgets; track actuals against projections and flag variances proactively
• Oversee procurement of materials, equipment, and subcontracted services as needed
• Review and approve invoices; maintain accurate cost records for each project
• Technology & Reporting
• Utilize Procore for project documentation, RFIs, submittals, and reporting
• Use Raken for daily field reports and site documentation
• Manage project schedules and task tracking through Microsoft Planner
• Leverage AI tools to improve project workflows, documentation, and communication efficiency
