Job description

Who we are:

At Dwell, we like to think big and small – producing high minded concepts without losing sight of the details. We’re notoriously accurate: producing some of the cleanest documents this side of the galaxy. We’re methodically unconventional: designing clever spaces that aren’t outlandish or lacking purpose. And we’re solid people: easy to work with, fun to be around, and void of pretension.

Dwell's award-winning architectural and interiors teams work with both housing and retail developers, including some of the nation’s largest Real Estate Investment Trusts, in designing high density, mixed-use, and urban infill projects. Our projects and offices span many states from Arizona to South Florida, up through DC, Virginia, and Maryland, and into New York and Connecticut. We have been awarded as one of the Best Places to Work in 2021 and for many years prior.

What you'll do:

The Project Manager has full responsibility for managing all aspects of multiple small to midsize projects, their teams, and prepare strategic plans for project success. The Project Manager is responsible for the coordination of all project efforts, administrative and technical, to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective execution of assigned projects. Serves as the primary client liaison to bring the schedule, budgets, and scope of work to completion and to the client’s satisfaction. Actively manages client budgets, schedules, and programs, project communications and documentation, office administrative tasks, and project team assignments. Estimates fees, determines the scope of work and prepares proposals and contracts. The Project Manager also serves as a vision leader within the Dwell community.

What you need to bring:

• Excellent leadership attributes to mentor supporting staff
• Exceptional time management, written, and verbal communication skills
• Strong organizational skills and follow-through ability
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Have a positive attitude
• Thorough understanding and preparation of design projects through all phases of development
• Proficient in Revit or similar design applications
• Prefer 10+ years of design experience
• Professional license preferred but not required
• Professional degree from an accredited college or university
