• Own project scope, schedules, budgets, deliverables, and ongoing client communication.
• Lead architects, engineers, and outside consultants through project reviews, design deliverables, and key milestones.
• Identify and resolve scope conflicts early to prevent delays and keep project teams aligned.
• Drive project schedules and follow up on deliverables to maintain progress against established deadlines.
• Communicate directly with clients throughout project execution, providing updates and addressing project needs.
• Manage multidisciplinary project workflows across design, permitting, and construction phases.
• Monitor project requirements and deliverables to maintain alignment with client expectations and project objectives.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience managing professional design projects from kickoff through permitting and construction.
• Experience working within an architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary professional design environment.
• Demonstrated ownership of project scope, schedule, budget, and client communication.
• Experience leading architects, engineers, and outside consultants through project reviews and deliverables.
• Strong understanding of design project workflows, permitting processes, and construction-phase coordination.
• Proven ability to identify scope conflicts, resolve issues, and keep multidisciplinary teams aligned to deadlines.
• Strong client-facing communication skills with the ability to manage expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
• Must have direct project management and delivery experience rather than primarily serving in a project coordination or support capacity.

Benefits

• Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience.
• Benefits may include health insurance, retirement plan options, paid time off, and other company-sponsored programs.
