Senior Project Manager Internal TI & Capital Projects

Senior Project Manager - Internal Ti & Capital Projects

McKinstry is innovating the waste and climate harm out of the built environment and creating lasting impact. Together, we're building a thriving planet.

Buildings are a leading contributor to the climate crisis, generating nearly 40% of total global energy-related carbon emissions. We're making a lasting impact on our industry and within our communities by addressing the climate, affordability and equity crises through:

• renewables and energy services
• engineering and design
• construction and facility services

To get where we're going, we need big thinkers, problem solvers and collaborative mindsets. Does that sound like you?

McKinstry is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager - Internal TI & Capital Projects to join our Emerald Initiative team and lead internal, tenant improvement (TI), and capital projects in support of McKinstry's facilities and campus needs across our owned and leased properties.
