The Opportunity

Following completion and turnover of this project, the successful candidate is expected to lead a retirement or seniors-housing development and additional multifamily or townhome projects.

This is an in-house, developer-side position with responsibility across land development, site servicing, procurement, consultant coordination, construction, turnover and project close-out.

- Lead competitive RFP and tender processes, including scope preparation, bidder selection, bid leveling and award recommendations.
- Manage budgets, cash flow, forecasts, progress claims, contracts, change orders, RFIs, submittals and cost-to-complete reporting.
- Monitor project schedules and identify risks, delays and required decisions before they materially affect cost or completion.
- Establish repeatable systems for procurement, reporting, document control, risk tracking and project decision-making.
- Support future projects from land review and due diligence through design, approvals, tendering, construction, occupancy and operating handoff.
