Job description

$140K – $170K Base + Bonus | Project Manager | Ground‑Up Residential | Owner‑Developer | New Jersey

• Owner‑side delivery role within a well‑capitalised residential development platform
• Ground‑up projects with internal decision‑making and clear accountability
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and project‑level strategy

We see this suiting an experienced Project Manager who understands the full life cycle of ground‑up residential delivery and wants meaningful ownership‑side responsibility. This is not a coordination role; it requires someone comfortable managing consultants, controlling budgets, and holding schedules.

The business is a long‑term owner‑developer with a disciplined, quality‑first approach. Projects are fully funded, design‑led, and managed with close executive oversight. Expectations are high. Decisions are made in‑house.

The role supports delivery from pre‑construction through completion, including consultant coordination, budget tracking, schedule control, contract administration, design management, and on‑site quality oversight. You’ll work directly with senior leadership, translating development strategy into disciplined execution. This is a strong platform role for someone who wants deeper exposure to ownership‑side delivery within a well‑capitalised platform with a defined pipeline.
