Senior Construction Project Manager
Lead Landmark Ground-Up Developments with Real Ownership & Autonomy
A highly respected, vertically integrated real estate development and construction firm is seeking a Senior Construction Project Manager to lead large-scale mixed-use and multifamily developments from groundbreaking through certificate of occupancy.
This is not a corporate GC environment where decisions are buried in layers of approvals. This is an opportunity to take true ownership of complex projects, work directly with leadership, and play a major role in shaping high-profile developments from the ground up.
The company manages the full lifecycle internally — from land acquisition and design through construction and delivery — providing Project Managers with a level of exposure, authority, and impact that’s difficult to find in traditional construction environments.
If you’re looking for a role where your decisions matter, your work is visible, and your projects leave a lasting impact on the community, this is an exceptional opportunity.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Lead high-profile mixed-use, multifamily, retail, and commercial developments
- True ownership over projects from preconstruction through closeout
- Direct collaboration with ownership and executive leadership
- Entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment with minimal bureaucracy
- Ability to influence schedules, logistics, subcontractor coordination, and project execution
- Long-term growth opportunity with an expanding development portfolio
- Exposure to the entire development lifecycle — not just construction execution
- Collaborative, highly experienced team environment
- Projects that are complex, visible, and resume-defining
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary ranging from $150,000 – $190,000, depending on experience
- Strong upward mobility as the portfolio continues to grow
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Life insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off
- In-person, collaborative team culture
What You’ll Be Doing
As the Senior Construction Project Manager, you’ll serve as the primary field-side leader responsible for delivering large-scale ground-up projects on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
You’ll oversee subcontractors, coordinate with in-house site crews, manage project financials, drive scheduling efforts, and work directly with ownership, architects, engineers, and consultants throughout the project lifecycle.
Core Responsibilities
Scheduling & Preconstruction Leadership
- Build and maintain detailed project schedules using MS Project and Procore
- Coordinate sequencing between subcontracted trades and in-house site work crews
- Identify schedule risks early and implement recovery plans proactively
- Lead constructability reviews, phasing plans, and site logistics strategies
Budget & Financial Oversight
- Own and manage project budgets exceeding $10M
- Track committed costs, forecasts, and financial performance
- Review and approve subcontractor pay applications, invoices, and lien waivers
- Evaluate, negotiate, and process owner and subcontractor change orders
Subcontractor & Field Operations Management
- Solicit bids, level scopes, and assist with subcontract awards
- Lead subcontractor coordination meetings and maintain accountability across all trades
- Coordinate closely with in-house site crews on earthwork, utilities, paving, and site improvements
- Oversee site logistics, staging, access, and overall jobsite operations
Quality, Safety & Inspections
- Conduct routine site inspections to ensure work aligns with plans and specifications
- Enforce OSHA compliance and maintain strong safety standards across the site
- Coordinate inspections with local building departments and third-party inspectors
- Resolve field conflicts and design issues in real time while maintaining project momentum
Documentation & Reporting
- Maintain complete project documentation including RFIs, submittals, daily reports, meeting minutes, and change orders
- Provide regular project updates related to schedule, budget, safety, and open issues
- Maintain accurate as-built records throughout construction
Project Closeout
- Drive projects successfully to certificate of occupancy
- Manage punch list completion across all trades
- Coordinate warranties, O&M manuals, as-builts, and final closeout documentation
- Support transition to leasing and property management teams
What We’re Looking For
- 5–10 years of construction project management experience
- Strong background in ground-up mixed-use, multifamily, or commercial construction
- Experience managing large subcontractor teams and self-perform site work operations
- Proven success managing project budgets of $10M+
- Deep understanding of construction documents, means and methods, and building systems
- Strong proficiency with Procore and scheduling software such as MS Project
- Thorough knowledge of OSHA regulations and jobsite safety practices
- Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial construction environment
Ideal Backgrounds
This opportunity is especially well suited for Senior PMs with experience in:
- Mixed-use developments
- Multifamily construction
- Commercial ground-up projects
- Developer-builder environments
- Integrated construction and development firms
Candidates who may be slightly below the experience range but bring exceptional project quality, strong subcontractor relationships, or highly relevant mixed-use experience will also be considered.
If you’re looking for an opportunity where you can take ownership of impactful developments, work alongside experienced leadership, and help shape the future growth of a rapidly expanding development portfolio, this role offers a rare combination of autonomy, visibility, and long-term career growth.
