Project Manager

Full-time NYC Metro / Bridgeport, CT Apply Now Position Summary

The Project Manager owns projects from award through close-out — schedule, budget, quality, safety, and client relationships. You lead a team of coordinators, superintendents, and self-perform trade crews, keep public-work compliance airtight, and are ultimately accountable for delivering each project on time, on budget, and to standard. This is a role for an experienced construction PM who can run multiple occupied-rehab projects at once and thrive in a fast-growing company.

Key Responsibilities

• Project ownership — own the full lifecycle of assigned projects — planning, buyout, execution, and close-out — and be accountable for schedule, budget, quality, and safety.
• Scheduling — develop and maintain project schedules and look-aheads; sequence self-perform trades and subcontractors to keep the field productive.
• Budget & cost control — manage project budgets, buyout, change orders, and pay applications; forecast costs and protect margin.
• Team leadership — lead superintendents, coordinators, and self-perform crews; set expectations, remove roadblocks, and hold the team accountable.
• Client & owner management — serve as the primary point of contact for owners, GCs, architects, and agencies (NYCHA, DASNY); run meetings and keep stakeholders informed.
• Coordination — oversee submittals, RFIs, procurement, and long-lead items (including in-house fabrication); keep approvals from stalling the schedule.
• Compliance & safety — enforce site safety and ensure prevailing-wage, certified-payroll, permit, and close-out requirements are met on public work.
• Systems — keep JobTread current as the single source of truth for schedule, budget, documentation, and field reporting.
• Occupied-rehab delivery — manage the sensitivities of working in occupied buildings — resident communication, phasing, and minimizing disruption.

Qualifications Required

• 5+ years of construction project management experience, ideally in multifamily, public housing, or occupied-rehab work.
• Proven ability to manage full project budgets and schedules and deliver on time and on budget.
• Strong leadership and communication skills; able to direct crews, subs, and hold stakeholders accountable.
• Working knowledge of means and methods across multiple trades.
• Proficiency with construction management software and Microsoft Office / Google Workspace.
• OSHA 30 and, for NYC work, a valid Site Safety Training (SST) supervisor card (or ability to obtain).

Preferred

• Experience with public / prevailing-wage work (NYCHA, DASNY, HUD) and certified payroll.
• Experience with JobTread or Procore, AIA pay applications, and CPM scheduling.
• Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or related field — or equivalent field experience.
• Personal and professional references.
• Bilingual (English / Spanish) a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus [health insurance, PTO, paid holidays, 401(k), and vehicle/travel allowance]. Strong growth path as the company expands into CT and NJ.
