Job Title:
Project Manager – Multi-Family Construction
Location:
San Diego, CA
Employment Type:
Full-Time (Transition from 1099 Possible)
About The Opportunity
We have been hired by a retained client to conduct a confidential search for a Project Manager specializing in multi-family construction. Our client is a growing real estate development company focused on multi-family projects ranging from 10 to 30 units, including smaller ground-up developments and infill projects. With three 13-unit, 3-story builds set to break ground in the next 3–4 weeks and 24 additional projects in the pipeline, they are seeking a skilled and hands-on Project Manager to lead these projects from inception to completion.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage multi-family projects (10–30 units) through all phases of development, including pre-construction, permitting, construction, and close-out.
• Oversee scheduling, budgeting, and on-site operations to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery.
• Coordinate directly with subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors.
• Navigate permitting and regulatory requirements within San Diego County, ensuring all local, state, and federal guidelines are met.
• Act as the primary point of contact for all project stakeholders, maintaining clear and consistent communication.
• Mitigate risks and address challenges proactively to avoid project delays.
• Prepare project status reports, documentation, and financial summaries as required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience managing multi-family projects, ideally within the 10–30 unit range.
• Proven experience with ground-up developments and infill projects.
• Strong knowledge of San Diego permitting and zoning regulations.
• Ability to manage schedules and budgets independently, with minimal oversight.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Familiarity with project management software (Procore, Buildertrend, or similar) is a plus.

Additional Information
This role is designed to start as a 1099 contractor due to initial project timelines. However, the intention is to transition the right candidate to a full-time position as projects ramp up. This is a unique opportunity to grow alongside a rapidly expanding portfolio of multi-family developments.

If you are a driven Project Manager with a passion for multi-family construction and a track record of delivering quality projects on time and within budget, we want to hear from you.
