    Job Overview
    Unleashed Brands is hiring a Project Manager to lead commercial buildouts across our portfolio of brands.

    Reporting to the VP of Construction, you’ll manage multiple projects and serve as the primary buildout contact for franchisees. Your involvement before construction will focus on helping coordinate the selection of the right general contractor. Once construction begins, you’ll own project execution through completed buildout, final inspections, and punch-list completion.

    • Coordinate with Construction, Equipment and Attractions, and Final Build teams, along with architects, engineers, landlords, and other project partners.
    • Track project costs, evaluate change orders, and challenge unsupported costs or delays.
    • Resolve field issues, monitor critical milestones, and drive recovery plans when projects fall behind.
    • Conduct two site visits per location for Large Brands and once for Small Brands.
    • Keep franchisees informed and provide clear weekly updates on progress, risks, budgets, and projected completion.
    • Coordinate final inspections and required opening approvals, lead punch-list walks, and verify corrective work is completed.
    • Ability to travel and report to the corporate office when not traveling
     
    Skills and Qualifications
    • At least five years of construction project management experience, including direct responsibility for commercial buildouts.
    • Experience managing multiple projects, GCs, budgets, schedules, and change orders.
    • Ability to read construction drawings and specifications and understand construction sequencing and building systems.
    • Confidence to advocate for franchisees, address difficult issues directly, and follow through on commitments.
    • Strong organization, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
    • Multi-location or franchise construction experience preferred.
    • A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience considered.
     
    Perks
    • Paid bi-weekly
    • Company Paid Holidays
    • Flexible Paid Time Off
    • Paid Parental Leave
    • Multiple health care insurance plans that cover medical, dental, prescription, vision, and employer HSA contributions
    • Competitive 401(k) Program with employer matching contributions
    • Daily dress code of “business casual”
