About the Role

As a Project Manager, you’ll be the point person from concept through construction closeout—driving schedules, budgets, communication, and quality. You’ll guide multidisciplinary teams, manage client expectations, coordinate consultants, and ensure our design intent is built as envisioned. You’ll also mentor emerging professionals and champion our culture every step of the way.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the project lifecycle: Lead planning, programming, design development, construction documents, bidding/negotiation, construction administration, and closeout.

  • Manage scope, schedule, and budget: Develop work plans, track milestones, forecast fees, review invoices, and proactively address risks and changes.

  • Serve as primary client liaison: Set expectations, lead presentations, deliver consistent updates, and ensure excellent client experience.

  • Coordinate the team: Direct architects, interior designers, and consultants (structural, MEP, civil, etc.) to maintain design cohesion and technical accuracy.

  • Handle contracts & proposals: Assist with proposals, negotiate consultant agreements, track contract compliance, and support business development presentations.

  • Ensure quality & compliance: Oversee QA/QC reviews, code analysis, permitting documentation, and adherence to firm standards and industry best practices.

  • Lead construction administration: Review submittals, respond to RFIs, issue ASIs/PRs/COs, conduct site visits and punch lists, and author field observation reports.

  • Risk Management: Work proactively to identify risks in the project and provide project planning and mitigation strategies to eliminate or reduce the potential risk.

  • Document rigorously: Maintain organized project files, meeting minutes, decision logs, and status reports for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Mentor and manage staff: Delegate tasks, support professional development, and foster a collaborative, accountable team environment.

  • Adapt and improve: Embrace evolving priorities, suggest process improvements, and live our core values daily.
