Construction Project Manager

Project Manager, Construction & Development Brooklyn, NY (with travel to Hamptons, GA, and TN sites) About the Role Our client is a fast-moving real estate development and operating company managing a substantial, diversified portfolio of ground-up and gut-renovation projects across Brooklyn, with additional holdings in the Hamptons, Georgia, and Tennessee. We are seeking a Project Manager to take ownership of day-to-day construction, permitting, and compliance management across a multi-property pipeline — stepping into a role currently held by a departing team member and reporting directly to the principal. This is a hands-on, high-volume role for someone who thrives juggling many active properties at once, keeps a tight grip on DOB/HPD filings and inspections, and is comfortable being the daily point of contact for architects, GCs, engineers, attorneys, surveyors, and property managers. Key Responsibilities Own weekly project-status reporting across all active properties (currently 10+ concurrent projects), tracking permitting milestones, inspection results, and open action items for ownership review. Run and/or participate in recurring construction calls with general contractors, architects, and engineers; drive follow-through on open items between calls. Manage DOB and HPD compliance end-to-end: PAA (Post-Approval Amendment) filings, objection resolution, TR/BPP/EL/PL sign-offs, Certificate of Occupancy tracking, and violation clearance. Coordinate neighbor access and license agreements (e.g., adjacent-property access for foundation/construction work) alongside outside counsel — tracking redlines, executed agreements, and related invoices. Order and manage third-party surveys, soil borings, and environmental assessments; liaise with surveyors and engineers to keep site due-diligence moving on new acquisitions and active construction. Review and triage vendor and subcontractor invoices, flagging discrepancies or unclear scope before routing to ownership/accounting for payment. Serve as the primary liaison to property management on compliance items (violations, inspections, insurance-related building issues) for occupied and stabilized assets. Track open items across dozens of single-purpose LLCs, keeping ownership informed of what's moving, what's stalled, and what needs a decision. Provide brief, structured written updates (daily/weekly) that translate site- and filing-level detail into clear priorities for ownership. What Success Looks Like Permit and inspection timelines move forward without ownership having to chase status. DOB objections and violations are resolved promptly, with clear paper trails. Vendor and legal correspondence is triaged quickly, with the right people looped in and nothing falling through the cracks across a large number of concurrent projects. Ownership receives concise, accurate status updates rather than raw inbox noise. Qualifications 3–7+ years managing NYC ground-up or gut-renovation residential construction projects, ideally across multiple simultaneous sites. Working fluency with NYC DOB and HPD processes: filings, objections, PAAs, inspections, and CO procedures. Experience coordinating directly with architects, GCs, subcontractors, surveyors, and engineers. Comfort working alongside legal counsel on access/license agreements and reading redlines at a working level (not drafting law, but understanding the business terms). Strong written communicator — able to summarize complex, multi-property status clearly and concisely for ownership. High organizational capacity; demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of concurrent workstreams without dropping details. Experience with small-portfolio or multi-LLC real estate operations is a strong plus. Familiarity with Hamptons/Suffolk County permitting and environmental review is a plus, given portfolio exposure there. Reporting & Logistics Reports directly to the principal/owner. Based in or able to regularly work from Brooklyn, with periodic travel to project sites in the Hamptons and occasional coordination with out-of-state (GA/TN) projects. Compensation Based on experience, in the 120 - 150K range #J-18808-Ljbffr
