Design Procurement and Preconstruction Coordination

• Assist with consultant procurement, proposal review, interviews, recommendations, and contract coordination.
• Coordinate design development and preconstruction activities with the architect or engineer, including site information, Board input, constructability concerns, budget alignment, approvals, permits, and anticipated phasing.
• Support consultant-led contractor bidding and bid review by coordinating schedules, communications, walkthroughs, clarifications, and Board decision-making.
• Assist the building attorney and project team with access agreements and other prerequisites that must be resolved before construction begins.

Construction Phase Oversight

• Monitor construction progress through regular site visits, meetings, schedule reviews, and coordination with the design professional and contractor.
• Observe and report site conditions, safety or access concerns, incomplete work, delays, and potential scope or cost impacts; promptly elevate urgent issues.
• Coordinate responses among the Board, property management, consultants, and contractors so that decisions and required actions are addressed on time.
• Track change-order status, payment applications, allowances, contingencies, and supporting documentation; coordinate technical review and approvals by the responsible parties.
• Maintain focus on occupied-building conditions, resident impact, housekeeping, protection, work hours, and restoration of affected areas.

Financial Schedule and Closeout Management

• Monitor commitments, invoices, approved changes, forecasted costs, contingencies, cash flow, and overall budget status.
• Maintain and challenge project schedules, identify slippage, and obtain recovery plans or revised sequencing when needed.
• Coordinate punch-list completion, final inspections, permits and sign-offs, warranties, training, closeout documentation, and final payment requirements.
• Confirm that outstanding items are assigned and tracked through completion before recommending administrative closeout.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, architecture, engineering, or a related field is required. Substantial directly relevant experience may be considered in lieu of the degree.
• A minimum of three to five years of relevant project management experience in construction, capital improvements, building restoration is required.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare clear reports, meeting minutes, presentations, and resident notices.
• Strong organization, time management, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail and deadlines.
• Ability to work independently with remote supervision while collaborating effectively with PMG leadership and project teams.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, Monday.com and other project management or document-sharing platforms.
