An established national multifamily developer and builder is assembling a dedicated construction team for a 17-story, approximately 380-unit Class A high-rise in Austin.

As Senior Project Manager, you’ll contribute to design coordination, permitting, buyout, and logistics planning, then help lead the project through construction and turnover.

For an experienced Austin builder, it’s an opportunity to influence how a substantial residential development gets built while working directly with an integrated development and construction team.

Your Role

Work closely with development, project leadership, the design team, and field supervision to prepare the project for construction and manage its delivery.

• Coordinate permitting requirements and track items affecting project readiness.
• Partner with field leadership on site logistics, sequencing, long-lead procurement, and schedule development.
• Evaluate the cost and schedule implications of design decisions and drive timely resolution.

Construction & Project Delivery

• Manage project budgets, commitments, forecasting, change orders, and cost reporting.
• Keep project management and field teams aligned on schedule, quality, and priorities.
• Lead subcontractor and design-team coordination to resolve issues and maintain progress.
• Oversee RFIs, submittals, procurement, and contract administration.
• Communicate project performance, risks, and recommended actions to leadership.
• Coordinate inspections, turnover planning, punch work, and final closeout.

What You Bring

• Austin construction experience is required, including familiarity with local project delivery, permitting, and subcontractor coordination.
• Experience as a Senior Project Manager or a Project Manager with substantial responsibility for complex ground-up construction.
• High-rise experience is preferred, particularly multifamily.
• Strong financial management skills, with experience owning budgets, buyout, forecasting, and change management.
• Experience contributing during preconstruction and carrying projects into field execution.
• The ability to work effectively with developers, architects, engineers, superintendents, and subcontractors.
• Clear communication, sound judgment, and a hands-on approach to solving project challenges.
• Cast-in-place concrete and structural light-gauge framing experience will be especially relevant.
• 20–25% annual bonus opportunity
• Illustrative full-year base plus bonus of approximately $222,000–$256,250, depending on base salary and bonus payout
