- Identifying risks early and driving solutions before they impact schedules
- Providing executive-level reporting on timelines, budgets, and project status
- Standardizing construction processes that support long-term company growth
- Helping improve project efficiency, vendor performance, and capital investment decisions
What Success Looks Like
Successful candidates are people who:
- Keep projects moving even when challenges arise
- Hold vendors and partners accountable
- Communicate clearly with executives and field leaders
- Balance urgency with sound decision-making
- Anticipate issues before they become problems
- Take ownership from start to finish
- Deliver projects that are on time, on budget, and operationally ready
What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone who has:
- 3-5+ years of construction project management experience
- Experience with restaurant, retail, hospitality, or other multi-site development projects
- Strong knowledge of construction scheduling, permitting, budgeting, inspections, change orders, and project closeout
- Experience working with contractors, architects, engineers, municipalities, landlords, and vendors
- Excellent organizational and communication skills
- The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
*Multi-unit restaurant or franchise experience is a strong plus.*
