• Review and approve subcontractor/vendor invoices, negotiate changes, and support timely client billing.
• Collaborate with preconstruction and estimating teams on budgeting, bidding, and value engineering.
• Ensure compliance with NYC building codes, safety regulations, and Local Laws.
• Drive execution from demolition through project completion for both structural and complex interior projects.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of commercial general contractor project management experience, including ground‑up and interior projects (core & shell, base building, high‑end interiors).
• Experience with corporate, commercial, institutional, or educational projects is highly desirable.
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent experience.
• Proven track record delivering large‑scale structural projects and fast‑paced interior renovations.
• Strong leadership skills with experience managing site Superintendents and project teams.
• Proficiency with project management software (Procore, MS Project, Microsoft Office Suite).
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and organizational skills.
• NYC Local Law 196 SST Supervisor Card (62 Hours) required.

Why Join

• Lead high‑profile, landmark projects in the heart of Manhattan.
• Work in a collaborative, client‑focused environment with a strong project pipeline.
