Owner's Representative/Construction Manager-Commercial Construction

$120k - $175k

Kimmel & Associates

Owner's Representative / Construction Manager

The company is a full-service commercial real estate advisory firm delivering value across three core platforms: development and technical construction services, brokerage advisory, and real estate investment. They partner closely with owners and investors to provide end-to-end oversight and strategic execution on complex commercial real estate projects.

The firm is known for its hands-on approach, technical expertise, and ability to align design and construction teams with owner and client objectives.

The company is seeking an experienced Owner's Representative / Construction Manager to oversee the delivery of large, complex commercial construction projects. This role acts as the owner's advocate—managing general contractors, consultants, and design teams to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest technical standards.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience managing ground-up, technically complex projects, with a preference for professionals who have supported data centers, mission-critical facilities, or MEP-intensive projects.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing construction execution on behalf of owners and clients
  • Overseeing general contractors, architects, engineers, and specialty consultants
  • Ensuring project scope, schedule, budget, and quality align with owner expectations
  • Coordinating design and construction teams throughout all project phases
  • Monitoring risk, change management, and project controls
  • Providing clear communication and reporting to ownership and stakeholders
  • Supporting projects in a hybrid/remote working environment while maintaining strong site engagement

Requirements:

  • Minimum 5+ years of project management or construction management experience, preferably with top ENR-ranked general contractors
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field
  • Proven experience managing ground-up commercial construction projects
  • Strong understanding of construction processes, contracts, and team coordination
  • Experience with data center, mission-critical, or MEP-heavy projects strongly preferred
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating with internal and external stakeholders

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary range: $120,000 – $175,000
  • Hybrid/remote work flexibility
  • Opportunity to work on technically complex, high-profile commercial projects
  • Exposure to development, advisory, and investment platforms within the firm
  • Professional growth within a respected commercial real estate advisory organization
