Job description

Many people will spend their lives in a Marcon home, so we have to build it right, every time. Founded in 1985, Marcon is an established real estate company specializing in acquiring, developing, building and managing properties across Metro Vancouver. A focus on quality and craft is what the business was built on, giving us a trusted name in the construction community. These principles have remained a focus as we’ve expanded into the real estate development and operations space, managing our own projects from conception through to execution, completion, and more recently ongoing management.

We have a commitment to providing elevated experiences at every touch point between our people, our buildings, and our communities. None of this is possible without a hardworking team, working together, to make it all happen. That’s why we’re looking for people who are eager to join an intelligent and motivated team to create something bigger than themselves and build communities that will impact a neighbourhood in infinite ways. At Marcon, Development Managers lead our projects from concept to completion. They are accountable for project success—balancing financial performance, project execution, regulatory approvals, and stakeholder engagement. They manage diverse consultant teams, drive value through every project stage, and ensure that Marcon's standards are met or exceeded.

About the role:

• Full Lifecycle Project Management
• Lead all aspects of development projects—budgets, schedules, design coordination, permitting, construction interface, and delivery.
• Stage Gate Leadership
• Drive projects through internal stage gates, ensuring that all criteria are met for approval and advancing projects through the development lifecycle.
• Develop and manage proformas, project budgets, and cost reports in collaboration with Finance and Accounting teams.
• Stakeholder & Consultant Management
• Manage relationships with internal and external teams, including architects, engineers, city planners, and legal advisors. Build strong relationships to drive alignment and execution.
• Construction Interface
• Work closely with Marcon’s Construction team to ensure on-site work aligns with design intent, budget, and schedule.

About you:

• A degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., real estate, business, planning, engineering).
• 5–7 years of progressive experience in real estate development.
• Strong project management, financial acumen, and communication skills.
• Developed knowledge base of architectural and major building systems.
• Proven ability to achieve results, lead cross-functional teams, manage risk and navigate complexity.
• Experience applying legal concepts and municipal policy to identify risks and opportunities
