Key Responsibilities • Direct project execution across design development, engineering, permitting, construction support, and final delivery. • Establish project scopes, fee budgets, schedules, resource plans, and key deliverables. • Lead architects, engineers, consultants, and external partners, ensuring responsibilities and deadlines are clearly defined. • Oversee project milestones, design submissions, approvals, open decisions, and progress against established plans. • Identify design inconsistencies, scope changes, coordination gaps, schedule threats, and budget variances. • Work with technical teams to resolve design challenges, permitting issues, and construction-related problems. • Coordinate activities across design, engineering, regulatory approvals, bidding, and construction phases. • Facilitate design reviews, client presentations, formal submissions, and construction-phase coordination. • Manage client relationships, communicate project updates, and address expectations throughout the project lifecycle. • Verify that project deliverables satisfy contract requirements, applicable codes, quality standards, and client objectives. • Support construction administration by coordinating with contractors and resolving field questions or design issues. • Maintain project documentation, including meeting records, budgets, schedules, status reports, and change tracking. • Report project performance, financial results, risks, and schedule developments to company leadership. • Strengthen project delivery through improved coordination methods, documentation practices, and internal workflows. Requirements • 5+ years of project management experience in architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary design. • Required: Previous experience working within an architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary design firm. • Demonstrated ownership of project scope, budgets, schedules, deliverables, risks, and client relationships. • Experience directing multidisciplinary teams of architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors. • Strong understanding of design development, permitting, construction documentation, and construction administration. • Ability to manage projects from initial design through final delivery. • Proven ability to address scope changes, design conflicts, coordination issues, schedule risks, and cost concerns. • Strong client-facing communication and stakeholder management skills. • Excellent leadership, organization, analytical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. • Ability to oversee multiple projects and competing priorities while meeting deadlines. • Understanding of professional services agreements, design deliverables, and architecture and engineering firm operations. Important: Candidates must have direct project management and delivery responsibility. Backgrounds limited primarily to project coordination, administrative assistance, or schedule tracking will not meet the requirements.
