Job Description


SUMMARY

We are seeking multiple Construction Project Managers to lead marquee projects within our Luxury Retail and Hospitality divisions. This role is designed for a strategic leader who excels in high-finish, fast-paced environments—ranging from flagship boutiques and high-end retail build-outs to sophisticated dining concepts and entertainment venues.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Direct the full project lifecycle from pre-construction, bidding, and estimating through to final close-out and occupancy.
  • Manage complex interior build-outs and ground-up construction, with a specialized focus on millwork, kitchen infrastructure (hoods, grease waste, fire suppression), and specialty finishes.
  • Maintain rigorous timelines—including phased or occupied environment builds—while driving cost control, subcontractor coordination, and margin protection.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for nationally recognized brands, consultants, and trade partners; managing RFIs, change orders, and executive-level cost reporting.
  • Ensure all work adheres to ADA, health and life-safety codes, and exacting brand-specific aesthetic standards.

 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 3+ years of Project Management experience in commercial construction.
  • Proven track record in Luxury Retail (flagships/boutiques) or High-End Hospitality (full-service restaurants/lounges).
  • Mastery of modern construction project management software (e.g. Procore).
  • Deep understanding of construction sequencing for high-finish environments and the ability to manage tight, multi-phase schedules.
  • A confident, client-facing presence with the ability to lead diverse teams of subcontractors and consultants.
  • Possess a 5-Year Project List showcasing relevant scope and scale.
  • Degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field preferred.
  • PMP or similar industry certification is an advantage.

 

COMPENSATION

  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance
  • Generous PTO policy
  • Annual performance-based bonus
