Job description

Owner’s Representative / Senior Project Manager

Up to $160K + Car Allowance

$300M+ in construction. Six campuses. One seat with real ownership.

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Project Manager / Owner’s Representative to help lead one of the most significant capital programs this organization has ever undertaken.

Reporting directly to the VP of Properties & Construction, you’ll oversee a portfolio of ground-up development, occupied renovations, and capital improvements across multiple Ohio campuses.

This is an office-side construction leadership role-not a Superintendent position.

What You’ll Own

• Drive multiple projects from budgeting and design through construction and closeout
• Provide owner-side leadership to architects, engineers, GCs, and consultants
• Manage budgets, schedules, change orders, payment applications, permits, and inspections
• Oversee ground-up residential-style development and complex occupied renovations
• Build processes and systems as the capital program continues to scale
• Mentor and eventually oversee additional Project Management staff

What We’re Looking For

8+ years of construction Project Management

Career progression on the office/PM side of construction

Full-lifecycle ownership of $10M+ projects or comparable program exposure

Strong budgeting, scheduling, design coordination, and contractor management skills

Multifamily, senior living, healthcare, or institutional construction is a strong plus

Owner’s Rep, developer, or institutional owner-side exposure is especially attractive

Why This One?

• $300M-$350M capital program with years of work ahead
• Up to $160K base + car allowance
• Number-two seat within the construction organization
• Direct exposure to executive leadership
• Mostly same-day travel throughout Ohio
• Opportunity to help shape how an expanding construction program operates

If you’ve spent your career owning projects from the office side and want a bigger seat at the table, this is worth a conversation.
