Senior Project Manager — Ground-Up Residential | Greenpoint, NY
Our client is a well-established residential developer with a 40-story ground-up tower breaking ground in Greenpoint in approximately two months.

What You’ll Do
- Own the full project lifecycle on a 40-story ground-up residential tower — from pre-construction through closeout
- Lead, manage, and develop a project team including superintendents, coordinators, and subcontractors
- Drive scheduling, budgeting, and cost control to keep the project on time and on budget
- Coordinate with ownership, architects, engineers, and city agencies throughout construction
- Manage permitting, inspections, and DOB compliance in NYC
- Run weekly OAC meetings and report directly to executive leadership
- Identify risks early and solve problems before they become delays
What We’re Looking For
Must Have
- 8+ years of construction project management experience, with high-rise residential in NYC
- Proven track record taking ground-up projects from foundation through CO
- Strong leadership skills — you build teams, not just manage tasks
- Deep knowledge of NYC DOB, permits, and inspection processes
- Comfortable owning a project independently with minimal oversight
Nice to Have
- Experience with 30+ story residential towers in Brooklyn or Manhattan
- Existing relationships with NYC subcontractors and trades
- PMP or similar certification
Why Join
- Flagship project — 40-story ground-up in one of Brooklyn’s hottest neighborhoods
- Leadership role with full project ownership and executive visibility
- Competitive comp for the right operator
- Day shift hours — 8am to 5pm, no crazy overtime culture
