Project Manager - Long Island City

About the firm

We are recruiting on behalf of established New York general contractors specializing in high-end residential construction - renovations and gut projects on apartments, townhouses and single-family homes across the city and the surrounding metro area. These are long-standing firms with reputations built on craftsmanship, repeat clients and well-run job sites rather than volume.

The role

You will run luxury residential projects end to end from a Long Island City office - a materially easier commute than Manhattan for anyone in Queens, Brooklyn or on Long Island. The schedule, the budget, the quality and the client are yours.

What you will do

• Own assigned luxury residential projects from preconstruction through closeout.
• Write and administer client and subcontractor contracts.
• Hold the schedule and the budget, and report on both.
• Run buyout, change orders, requisitions and monthly billing.
• Work daily with owners, architects and design teams.
• Supervise assistant project managers.

What we are looking for

• Ten years of construction experience, with at least five on high-end residential work for a general contractor or construction management firm.
• A record of running your own projects.
• Deep familiarity with New York City construction.
• Client-facing and comfortable with it.

Compensation and benefits

$140,000 - $180,000, depending on experience.

Benefits vary by employer and are covered in full when we discuss the specific opportunity with you. Every firm we represent for this role offers medical coverage, a 401(k) with an employer match, paid time off and paid company holidays.
