An established general contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead multifamily construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout. The company maintains a strong portfolio of affordable housing and market-rate multifamily developments, with projects ranging from approximately 25 to 500 units and typical projects falling between 75 and 150 units.

The ideal candidate has a highly relevant multifamily background rather than broad commercial construction experience. Affordable housing, market-rate, podium, ground-up, and walk-up multifamily experience will be prioritized.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage multifamily construction projects from preconstruction through final turnover
• Develop and maintain project budgets, schedules, forecasts, and cost reports
• Lead subcontractor procurement, buyout, contract negotiations, and scope coordination
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, and project documentation
• Coordinate closely with Superintendents to maintain field production and project schedules
• Manage construction scopes across sitework, concrete, framing, MEP, building envelope, interiors, and finishes
• Track job costs, committed costs, billing, forecasting, and overall project profitability
• Lead owner, architect, consultant, and subcontractor meetings
• Review drawings, specifications, contracts, and scopes of work
• Manage procurement and long-lead material tracking
• Identify cost, schedule, and coordination risks and implement solutions before they impact project performance
• Maintain strong communication with owners, developers, consultants, and field leadership
• Support value engineering, constructability reviews, and preconstruction planning
• Oversee punch lists, turnover documentation, warranties, and final closeout

Requirements

• Strong multifamily Project Management experience with a general contractor or multifamily builder
• Affordable housing and/or market-rate multifamily experience strongly preferred
• Ground-up multifamily construction experience required
• Podium construction experience highly preferred
• Walk-up multifamily experience will also be considered
• Experience managing projects similar to 75–150+ unit developments preferred
• Proven experience managing projects from preconstruction through completion
• Strong understanding of subcontractor buyout, contracts, budgeting, forecasting, and cost control
• Experience managing project financials, change orders, billing, and cost-to-complete forecasting
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings
• Strong communication, negotiation, organization, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work closely with field leadership while managing the administrative and financial side of construction

Ideal Project Background

• Affordable housing
• Market-rate apartments
• Podium multifamily
• Ground-up apartment communities
• Walk-up apartments
• Wood-frame multifamily
• Projects ranging from 25–500 units
• Developments in the 75–150 unit range especially relevant

Role Structure

This position is primarily office-based, with limited but regular field involvement. Approximately half a day may be spent onsite depending on project needs, with occasional full field days when required.

Compensation & Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package

• Paid holidays and PTO
• Long-term opportunity with an established multifamily construction pipeline
