Project Manager - Construction Owner's Rep (Ground-Up Multifamily)

Job Description

Job Description

The Role

We need a Construction Project Manager to represent the owner's interests on ground-up multifamily projects. You'll own the master schedule, coordinate with the GC and design team, and see projects through from pre-construction to CO and move-in.

This is a schedule-and-budget-control job. If you've delivered garden-style or podium multifamily on time and you run a tight process, this is probably a fit.

What You'll Do

Own the master construction schedule and 3-week look-aheads. Update progress daily, run weekly schedule reviews with the GC, and drive recovery plans when things slip.

Track budget vs. GMP and contingency. Review change orders, validate pay apps, and coordinate with lender draw requests.

Be the day-to-day point of contact with the GC, architect, engineers, inspectors, and testing agencies. Run OAC meetings, document decisions, follow up on action items.

Walk the site regularly with QA/QC checklists. Maintain a risk log. Make sure inspections and commissioning get scheduled and passed.

During pre-construction, participate in constructability reviews and value-engineering. Track permits, utility approvals, and long-lead items.

At close-out, lead punchlist tracking, coordinate commissioning, and collect as-builts, O&M manuals, and warranties. Make sure turnover timing works with lease-up.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 7–10+ years managing ground-up multifamily or similar residential projects (40–150 units) as an owner's rep, GC PM, or senior APM
• Track record of delivering on time and on budget
• Strong with schedule management tools (ACC, Procore, P6, or similar)
• Solid understanding of means and methods: sitework, foundations, wood/steel framing, envelope, MEP, life safety, finishes
• Can read drawings, specs, contracts, and GMP exhibits
• Experience with pay apps, change orders, and cost reports
• Clear communicator, good documentation habits
• On site many days/otherwise working remotely/hybrid

Preferred:

• Experience with agency financing (Fannie, Freddie, HUD) and their lease-up requirements
• Carolinas t project experience
• Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or related
• PMP, CCM, LEED AP, or similar
