Your Key Responsibilities as Project Manager
  • Manage projects of varying sizes, from master service agreements to medium and large-scale projects of high complexity.
  • Lead project kick-offs, coordination, and meetings with internal team members and external stakeholders when a Project Architect is unavailable.
  • When collaborating with another Project Architect or Job Captain, focus on general project oversight, contract and fee management, proposal writing, progress reporting, and subconsultant invoice approvals.
  • Monthly responsibilities include assisting with staffing plans, providing project financial updates, and exploring marketing and business development opportunities.
  • Short-term travel may be required for project-related work.
Your Capabilities and Credentials
  • Comprehensive knowledge of accessibility codes and building regulations.
