Project Manager

Location: Hybrid in New York, NY (3 days onsite, 2 days remote)

Industry: Real Estate Development / Construction Management

Employment Type: Full-Time

Join a fast-moving real estate investment and development firm that's reshaping multifamily living across the greater NYC area. As a key contributor in a lean, entrepreneurial team, this Project Manager will take projects from vision to vertical - bridging the gap between architectural plans and execution. With direct access to executive leadership, this individual will lead high-impact residential builds from pre-construction through to delivery, playing a critical role in a robust pipeline exceeding $150M in capitalization.

This is the ideal opportunity for a technically skilled builder who thrives wearing multiple hats and is motivated by the autonomy to make real-time decisions on-site and in the office.

Key Responsibilities

• Review architectural and structural design sets to assess feasibility and scope.
• Conduct detailed quantity takeoffs and generate cost estimates.
• Identify opportunities for value engineering to optimize costs while preserving design intent.
• Manage subcontractor sourcing, vetting, and buyout using established vendor networks.
• Write detailed scope-of-work documents to minimize bid gaps or overlaps.
• Coordinate construction schedules, conduct weekly subcontractor meetings, and enforce milestone accountability.
• Provide hands-on technical support for real-time issues like structural conflicts or utility clashes.
• Manage RFIs and submittals, ensuring efficient communication between field teams and design.
• Conduct regular site walks to confirm that quality and design standards are being upheld.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, Civil Engineering, or similar field, OR equivalent field experience in site management or estimating.
• 3-7 years of progressive experience in project management or construction engineering.
• Proficiency with tools such as Bluebeam, Revit, AutoCAD, Procore or Buildertrend, and MS Project.
• Strong ability to bridge office and field dynamics-equally comfortable estimating behind a screen or problem-solving with foremen on-site.

What Sets This Role Apart

• High Autonomy: Direct reporting line to ownership allows for rapid decision-making and minimal red tape.
• Growth Trajectory: Contribute to a thriving pipeline of over 300+ multifamily units under active development.
• Impact: Take full ownership of project delivery and team leadership without layers of middle management.
• Support & Perks:

o Competitive base salary

o Healthcare coverage

o 20 days PTO + 5 personal days

o Free housing (apartment provided from internal real estate portfolio)

If you're a project leader who's ready to leave the red tape behind and build what matters, we want to hear from you. Apply now to take the next step in your construction leadership career.
