The Senior Construction Project Manager is a highly accountable, senior-level individual contributor who takes full ownership of multiple concurrent projects throughout the entire lifecycle, including due diligence, design, construction documentation, preconstruction, construction, FF&E, and closeout.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of commercial construction project management experience; retail construction experience strongly preferred.
• Proven success independently managing multiple projects, including larger programs, rollouts, tenant improvements, remodels, or ground-up construction, while delivering on schedule and within budget.
• Highly accountable, self-motivated, and resourceful, with strong ownership, urgency, follow-through, and the ability to drive results with limited oversight.
• Strong attention to detail and consistently high standards for quality, accuracy, organization, and client service; able to identify risks, discrepancies, coordination issues, and missing information.
• Ability to prioritize competing demands, solve problems, and remain effective in a fast-paced environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Project; experience with Bluebeam, Procore, or similar project management platforms preferred.
