• Coordinating permitting, site logistics, and compliance
• Driving collaboration across internal development, leasing, and finance teams
• Acting as the main point of contact for site activity, construction quality, and delivery timelines
• Identifying opportunities for cost savings, design efficiency, and schedule optimization
• Maintaining detailed reporting and forecasting throughout the project lifecycle

What You Bring :

• 8+ years of experience managing construction projects — ideally commercial, industrial, and / or retail
• Strong experience in full-cycle project delivery (design-build, site coordination, permits, handover)
• Skilled in budgeting, scheduling, and construction contracts (CCDC familiarity is a plus)
• Adept at leading consultants through the design and drawing phases
• Strong relationships with local trades and industry professionals
• Excellent communication, organization, and documentation skills
