The Project Manager supports the development of budgets and schedules, coordinates contractors and vendors, and helps ensure projects meet client expectations for quality, cost, and timing. The ideal candidate has a general contractor (GC) background and/or MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) experience, is a self-starter, and thrives in a fast-paced, technical environment.

• Assist with subcontractor procurement, including competitive bidding, negotiations, and contract execution.
• Monitor subcontractor and vendor performance to ensure adherence to project requirements, budgets, and schedules.
• Manage project financials, including billing, budget tracking, change orders, and cost reconciliation, with support from senior team members as needed.
• Create and maintain project schedules, tracking progress toward key milestones.
• Spend significant time onsite to monitor quality, safety, and progress.
• Maintain proactive, professional communication with clients, setting expectations and helping resolve issues.
• Represent CBRE with professionalism, integrity, and strong client service on a highly technical semiconductor campus.

What You'll Need:

• 3-5 years of project management experience in construction; general contractor (GC) background strongly preferred.
• MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) background highly desirable.
• Experience supporting semiconductor or other advanced manufacturing/tech clients is a plus.
• Track record supporting projects ranging from $250,000 to $5 million in value.
• Working knowledge of estimating, subcontractor negotiation, contract administration, financial management, and scheduling.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with general oversight and limited administrative support.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Project).
• Degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management preferred; relevant experience required.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical information to clients and internal stakeholders.
