Design Project Manager

Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Design Project Manager to support our projects from concept through completion, someone equally comfortable producing construction documents in Revit/AutoCAD as they are running a job site inspection. This is a niche, hands-on role, and we're selective about who fills it. Key Responsibilities Prepare and revise construction documents in Revit and AutoCAD, including layouts, detail drawings, and diagrams. Make drawing changes, redlines, and specification updates as projects develop. Prepare presentation drawings and plan options for clients. Track submittals, RFIs, and approvals; review shop drawings and estimates with architects, engineers, and contractors. Coordinate and lead project meetings; manage communications and action items. Conduct on-site inspections and field verification, documenting quality, code compliance, safety, and progress. Assist with permitting across local, state, and federal jurisdictions. Prepare and distribute weekly project updates with progress photos. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Drafting, Design, or related field (or equivalent experience). 10+ years of experience in architectural design, drafting, or construction project management. Strong proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, plus Microsoft Office and MS Project. Solid understanding of drafting techniques, construction terminology, and general building code. Valid New York State driver's license and reliable transportation. Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and exercise sound judgment with minimal supervision. Familiarity with owner's representation or construction administration is a plus. Work Environment & Physical Demands Regular field work, including site visits over uneven terrain and in variable weather, plus occasional lifting up to 25 to 50 lbs. Occasional travel and irregular hours around project milestones. Why Join DJCA Cornerstone Family-oriented culture with mutual respect and teamwork. A seat on some of Rochester's most visible projects. Real autonomy in your role, with a clear path for growth as our project list expands. DJCA Cornerstone LLC and its subsidiaries are committed to creating a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr
