About this Opportunity:

At Regency Centers, we believe our greatest asset is our people, and we believe a talented team from differing backgrounds and experiences makes us better. We are seeking a Project Manager (Construction) to join our regional office located in Westport, Connecticut or Greenwich, Connecticut. The Project Manager (PM) is responsible for executing retail construction projects with a group of assets across a defined region, supporting new tenant buildouts, redevelopments, developments and assisting property management with larger capital projects. This role acts as the operational lead for assigned developments-overseeing preconstruction, budgeting, scheduling, permitting, construction execution, and turnover. The PM collaborates directly with Leasing, Tenant Coordination, Contract Administration, and Property Management, with the shared goal of achieving rent commencement and delivery milestones on time and within budget.

• Track and report financials and schedule progress weekly, updating the tenant coordination accordingly.

Team Coordination

• Work closely with Tenant Coordinators to ensure seamless handoff of space and clear delineation of LL/Tenant work.


• Collaborate with Contract Administration to ensure timely project setup, cost coding, payables processing, and closeout.


• Coordinate with Leasing and Legal to support lease negotiation as it relates to construction scope, timing, and landlord obligations.

Permitting & Jurisdictional Coordination

• Manage permitting process and serve as liaison to Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs).


• Track and drive timely approvals to avoid rent commencement delays.

Reporting & Communication

• Update project information in the internal tenant tracker system regularly to reflect progress on milestones (permit received, LL work started, turnover, rent commencement).


• Provide weekly updates to regional leadership and cross-functional partners on active projects.

Are You Qualified?

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture or related field from an accredited institution


• At least five (5) to eight (8) years of retail or commercial construction management experience (developer, GC, or REIT background preferred).


• Ability to travel regionally & frequently visit all assigned construction sites


• Ability to work varying and flexible hours including evening hours as necessary to attend city Planning & Zoning commission meetings and City Council meetings


• Proven ability to manage multiple active projects across different jurisdictions.


• Strong understanding of lease exhibits, tenant delivery requirements, and LL vs. Tenant construction scope.


• Working knowledge of permitting processes, budgeting, and project closeout.


• Ability to work cross-functionally with internal teams and third-party consultants.


• Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of maintaining accurate tracking in systems like Excel, Procore, or custom trackers.

Personal Traits We Value:

• Project management skills (planning, organizing, informing, directing others)


• Decisiveness, problem-solving, time-management, multi-tasking, and presentation skills


• Strong communication skills (interpersonal savvy, customer focus, verbal, and written acuity)
