• Liaise between landlords, design teams, general contractors, vendors, and municipal authorities to resolve issues and maintain alignment.
• Proactively identify risks (permitting delays, supply chain disruptions) and implement contingency plans.
• Ensure all work adheres to brand standards, local building codes, safety regulations (OSHA), and sustainability guidelines (e.g., LEED).
• Deliver regular progress updates, financial reports, and post‑project evaluations to clients and JLL leadership.
• Leverage JLL’s proprietary technology platforms (e.g., ProjectLens™) to streamline workflows and enhance data‑driven decision‑making.

• Expertise in construction documentation (RFIs, submittals, change orders), scheduling (MS Project/Primavera), and contract administration (AIA/lump‑sum contracts).
• Strong knowledge of building codes, ADA compliance, and retail‑specific regulations.
• Proficiency in MS Office Suite; experience with BIM, Procore, or Autodesk is a plus.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel locally (up to 30%).
• Preferred PMP, CCM, or LEED AP certification.
• Experience with fast‑paced retail environments (quick‑service restaurants, fashion chains, grocery).
