Project Manager

Community Association and Construction Projects Our client is a leading construction engineering firm based in Northeast Florida, specializing in building diagnostics, building envelope consulting, and construction project management. The company has been in business for more than 30 years. They offer a friendly, professional work environment without the corporate atmosphere. Community Association Managers: This Role Is Built for You If you are a licensed CAM with condominium association experience, you already know at least half of this job. You work with condominium boards. You manage contracts, budgets, vendors, and maintenance programs. You understand reserve studies and how associations plan and pay for major projects. That knowledge is exactly what this position requires, and it is the hard half to learn. The other half is construction oversight, and we will teach you that. You will work alongside our engineers and field staff on real projects, and most managers are running their own projects well within their first year. You do not need a construction background to apply. Prior CAM experience is directly qualifying, and this position is a significant step up in both responsibility and compensation from most portfolio and on-site management roles. About the Position This is a full time position based at one of our offices in Jacksonville, Florida. Daily travel within Northeast Florida is required, with additional project work in South Georgia and occasional regional travel. We are seeking a Project Manager to lead exterior renovation, building envelope, and structural repair projects for condominium associations and other community clients from bid through closeout. The role centers on the skills association managers use every day: working with boards, administering contracts, tracking budgets, and coordinating vendors, applied to major repair and renovation projects. Candidates with community association management, condominium, multifamily, or commercial renovation experience are encouraged to apply. This position is available immediately. Compensation and Benefits The salary range for this position is $70,000 to $90,000 per year, commensurate with experience. Benefits include a 401(k) plan, health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, and company paid life insurance. Standards for this Position Three or more years of community association management, construction project management, or closely related experience. Florida CAM license with condominium association experience is strongly preferred. Working knowledge of contracts, budgets, and vendor management. Familiarity with reserve studies and association funding is a plus. Willingness to learn exterior building envelope systems, including roofing, stucco, waterproofing, windows, doors, balconies, and railings. We provide training; prior construction experience is helpful but not required. Ability to read construction documents and specifications, or willingness to learn with our training. Proficient in Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and Outlook. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail. Valid driver's license and reliable transportation. Degree in business, construction management, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered. Florida general contractor license, OSHA 30, or similar credentials are a plus. Work Requirements for this Position Lead progress meetings with owners, association boards, property managers, and contractors. Administer construction contracts, including submittals, requests for information, change orders, and pay application review. Track schedules, budgets, and open items, and report status to clients and our leadership. Present findings and recommendations at association board meetings. Manage assigned projects from preconstruction through final closeout. Conduct site observations and document progress, workmanship, and deficiencies. Coordinate with our engineers and field technicians on technical issues and design clarifications. Prepare punch lists and verify completion of corrective work. Support bid services, including bid walks, contractor questions, and bid tabulation. Maintain project records and correspondence in accordance with our standards. Work well within a team environment while remaining equally comfortable operating autonomously to achieve project outcomes. Represent us professionally with clients, contractors, and design professionals. #J-18808-Ljbffr Highlander Consultants
