The PM manages a dedicated team of NYC-based field technicians deployed to document structural baselines and maintain sophisticated instrumentation systems (such as seismographs, automated motorized total stations, and crack gauges).

The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise navigating the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) regulatory framework, ensuring full operational compliance with BC Chapter 33 (Safeguards During Construction) and TPPN 10/88 (Historic and Landmark Property Protection).

• Enforce strict compliance with OSHA standards and specialized site safety mandates under NYC Local Law 196.
• Oversee inventory maintenance, field calibration, and cellular telemetry connectivity for all field monitoring hardware (e.g., Instantel seismographs).

Client Relations & Stakeholder Navigation

• Serve as the primary liaison between project developers, structural engineers, and adjacent public/private NYC property owners.
• Facilitate sensitive access license negotiations with neighboring property owners to allow for the installation of monitoring equipment and baseline physical surveys.
• Manage full project lifecycles, including technical proposal drafting, precise job costing, tracking labor budgets, and generating comprehensive monthly reports for clients.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of 2–4 years of field management experience specifically centered on NYC building construction, structural monitoring, or forensic engineering.
