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 take direct ownership of luxury residential projects from preconstruction through closeout - the schedule, the budget, the quality and the client relationship. Current work includes projects up to $30 million.

What you will do

• Own assigned luxury residential projects end to end, from preconstruction through final closeout.
• Write and administer client and subcontractor contracts.
• Build and hold the project schedule and budget, and report on both.
• Run the buyout - scope, bid, level and award trade packages.
• Manage change orders, requisitions and monthly billing.
• Work daily with the owner, the architect and the design team.
• Direct and develop assistant project managers beneath you.

What we are looking for

• Eight to ten years of construction experience, with at least six on high-end residential work for a general contractor or construction management firm.
• You have run projects yourself rather than assisted on them.
• Fluent with New York City construction - the trades, the approvals and the pace.
• Comfortable in front of demanding owners and their architects.
• Strong command of scheduling and project management software.

Compensation and benefits

$120,000 - $165,000, 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.
