We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead architecture and engineering design projects from initial kickoff through permitting and construction within a full-service professional design firm.

This is a hands-on project leadership role with direct ownership of project scope, schedules, budgets, deliverables, and client relationships. The Project Manager will coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, and other project stakeholders to keep multidisciplinary teams aligned and projects moving efficiently from design through construction.

The ideal candidate is an experienced design-project leader who can identify issues early, drive accountability, communicate effectively with clients, and take ownership of successful project delivery.

• Own project scope, schedules, budgets, deliverables, milestones, and client communication.
• Lead and coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, and other project team members throughout the design process.
• Establish project priorities and ensure teams remain aligned with established schedules and client objectives.
• Review project progress and follow up on outstanding deliverables to maintain schedule performance.
• Identify scope gaps, conflicts, coordination issues, and potential risks early in the project lifecycle.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to resolve design and scope issues before they impact schedule, budget, or quality.
• Manage project workflows across architectural, engineering, permitting, and construction phases.
• Communicate directly with clients, provide project updates, address concerns, and manage expectations throughout project execution.
• Coordinate design reviews, project milestones, permitting requirements, and construction-phase activities.
• Monitor project requirements and deliverables to ensure alignment with contracts, client expectations, and project goals.
• Maintain clear project documentation and provide regular status updates to company leadership.

• Strong understanding of design workflows, permitting processes, construction documentation, and construction-phase coordination.
• Ability to identify scope conflicts, resolve project issues, and keep teams aligned with deadlines.
• Strong client-facing communication and relationship-management skills.
• Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and project leadership abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and project milestones simultaneously.
• Direct project management and delivery experience is required; candidates whose experience is primarily project coordination or administrative support will not be considered.
