What this job involves:

The Construction Project Manager (PM) is responsible for independently managing small to medium-scale capital and tenant improvement projects across our client's portfolio, while also supporting larger, more complex initiatives under the guidance of Senior Project Managers. The PM leads end-to-end project delivery-including scope development, contractor procurement, schedule management, budget oversight, client communication, and formal closeout-for projects typically ranging from $250K to $1M or involving multiple trades and phased execution.

This is a high-visibility, client-facing role that requires demonstrated project leadership, strong organizational and financial management skills, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced, relationship-driven environment. The PM is expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy on assigned projects, escalating only critical risks or decisions, while building expertise through mentorship and exposure to increasingly complex delivery challenges.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Lead small to medium-scale projects ($250K-$1M) independently from initiation through closeout, managing scope, schedule, budget, quality, and client satisfaction; support senior project managers on larger regional projects and shadow senior leaders to learn complexities of major initiatives
• Develop project charters, schedules, and work breakdown structures; manage critical path, conduct regular site visits to monitor progress/quality/safety, and deliver formal closeout packages including as-builts, O&M manuals, and warranties
• Procure and manage general contractors, subcontractors, and vendors through competitive bidding; negotiate contracts within authority limits, manage performance and site logistics, and maintain vendor performance databases
• Chair project meetings (kickoffs, weekly OACs, closeouts); prepare agendas, facilitate discussions, drive action item resolution, and manage change orders with stakeholder communication and approval
• Develop and manage project budgets with real-time cost monitoring; process purchase orders and invoices through JLL/client systems; prepare monthly financial reports, forecasts, and variance analyses; manage contingencies and recommend budget adjustments
• Serve as primary client contact for assigned projects; build relationships through proactive communication; deliver status reports and presentations; anticipate needs and provide solutions while upholding JLL service standards
• Maintain organized project files (contracts, drawings, RFIs, submittals, permits, inspections, closeout documentation); manage document distribution and tracking logs; ensure compliance with JLL standards, client requirements, and regulatory codes
• Own defined phases or work packages within larger complex projects; participate in design reviews, value engineering, and constructability assessments; support capital planning materials and strategic portfolio assessments
• Participate in structured coaching sessions with senior project managers to review lessons learned and identify growth areas; proactively seek exposure to complex project types and delivery methods; apply learnings to advance toward senior responsibilities and mentor junior team members

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, Real Estate, Business, or a related field is preferred
• 3-5 years of progressive experience in project management, construction management, or owner's representation, with demonstrated experience independently managing projects from initiation through closeout
• Proven track record of managing small to medium-scale projects (typically $250K-$1M or multi-trade scopes) with accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, and client satisfaction
• Strong financial acumen including budget development, cost tracking, forecasting, and variance analysis
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; confident presenting to clients, senior stakeholders, and executive leadership
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams) and project scheduling tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Procore, or similar)
• High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple concurrent projects under tight deadlines
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel up to 25% within the account portfolio

Preferred Qualifications:

• PMP (Project Management Professional) or CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) certification
• Experience working on large corporate, institutional, or faith-based facility portfolios
• Familiarity with construction contract documents, AIA forms, and standard project delivery methods (design-bid-build, design-build, CM-at-risk)
• Exposure to CMMS, IWMS, or capital project tracking platforms (e.g., eFacility, Tririga, Planon)
• LEED AP, CCM, or other relevant professional certifications
• Experience in a real estate services, general contracting, or owner's representation environment
• Demonstrated ability to mentor or develop junior team members
