Job summary

JPI, a leading multifamily developer, invites applications for an Integration Manager to join the DfX team in the Central region. This role coordinates across technical, permitting, and commercial streams to keep design, approvals, and vendor commitments aligned throughout the project life cycle.

You will report to the Director, DfX, and lead efforts in risk management, value analysis, and AI-enabled workflow optimization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture or related field.
• 4–8 years of experience in design management, construction, or permitting/entitlements, preferably in the multifamily industry.
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, drawing details, utility coordination, and permitting/AHJ processes.
• Experience with vendor procurement and soft-cost budgeting.
• Strong leadership and cross-functional coordination skills.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the connective point across technical, permitting, and commercial work streams on assigned projects, coordinating with Technical Leads, Permit Leads, and preconstruction to keep the DFX process moving end to end.
• Track open items, decisions, and hand-offs across the full DFX life cycle, and close gaps before they turn into schedule or cost impacts.
• Document process steps and hand-off points across the DFX life cycle to build a consistent, repeatable approach across projects.
• Escalate issues early and route them to the right owner, functioning as the point of accountability for keeping the overall process on track.
• Coordinate with the Technical Leads on each project to ensure constructability reviews and de-risking sessions happen at every design milestone, and confirm findings carry through to the next phase.
• Follow up with consultants and trade partners on critical systems validation, closing the loop with the Technical Lead on outstanding items.
• Track the risk register and mitigation plan across projects, connecting design, permitting, and commercial inputs so open items don’t stall between hand-offs.
• Flag drawing package issues that historically cause rework or schedule impacts, and confirm they get resolved before the package moves forward.
• Step in directly on permitting issues as they arise across projects, working with the Permit Lead(s) to clear roadblocks and keep approvals moving.
• Own the permitting process for assigned projects, including tracking milestones, managing submittals, and mitigating delays.
• Engage directly with AHJ representatives to confirm requirements, resolve comments, and coordinate resubmittals with the design team.
• Interpret agency feedback and translate it into design and construction direction, avoiding rejections or restarts.
