About PM2 Consulting and This Role

PM2 Consulting represents owners through complex hospitality and commercial interior construction projects. As a small, specialized firm, our team members have meaningful visibility, responsibility, and impact. This role is ideal for someone who wants to be close to the work, close to the client, and accountable for helping projects run with structure, urgency, and clear communication.

  Position Summary

PM2 Consulting is seeking an Owner’s Representative to support hospitality and commercial interior fit-out projects from planning through closeout. This is an owner-side, client-facing role focused on project leadership, communication, budget and schedule oversight, risk identification, and practical problem-solving. You will coordinate project teams, monitor progress, and provide clear analysis and recommendations to help clients make informed decisions.

  Who Thrives in This Role  

The right candidate combines technical construction knowledge with sound judgment, resourcefulness, persistence, and strong client-facing communication. You are comfortable working in a small, entrepreneurial firm where your follow-through, ability to anticipate issues, and willingness to push for answers directly influence project outcomes and client satisfaction.

You will be a strong fit if you:

• Take ownership of issues and follow them through to resolution.
• Balance technical details with clear, client-friendly communication.
• Stay organized and effective when priorities shift.
• Identify risks early and bring forward practical solutions.
• Hold project teams accountable while maintaining professionalism and trust.
