• Ability to read and evaluate schedules of values, progress claims, construction budgets, draw documentation, and GC backup.

• Experience reviewing GC bids, supporting GC selection, and contributing to construction contract negotiation from the owner's side.
• Experience developing, confirming, or managing project Scopes of Work.
• Familiarity with lender draw requirements, G702/G703 documentation, construction cost documentation, and draw review processes.
• Understanding of how construction milestones connect to LIHTC financing milestones, conversion requirements, stabilization, and 8609 delivery.
• Experience managing or coordinating work performed directly through vendors, trades, or contractors without a prime GC intermediary.
• Prior experience supervising at least one direct report in a construction, development, owner's representative, or project management context.

The Director of Development is responsible for leading APG's development project management and construction execution function from pre-closing hard cost validation through construction completion, conversion, stabilization, and 8609 delivery. This role provides senior-level development and construction oversight for APG's affordable housing development projects. The Director of Development ensures that project scopes, budgets, schedules, construction execution, draw reviews, and handoffs are managed with discipline, technical credibility, and clear accountability. The role requires a hybrid skill set: affordable housing / LIHTC development experience combined with enough construction field knowledge to independently assess project scope, construction progress, GC performance, and draw documentation.
