About the role

The Project Manager (CAPM) is responsible for overseeing the execution of numerous large- and medium-scale projects in their construction phase. The CAPM reports to the Studio Leader or Principal and acts as the main point of contact for projects. This position oversees junior staff in executing shop drawings, bulletins, RFIs, site visits, field reports, change orders, requisitions, and other CA documents and project close-out documentation. The CAPM maintains client relationships and has the authority to direct, control, and monitor all CA project activities.

The CAPM must demonstrate construction experience in all aspects of architecture/interiors projects, including substantial experience in CA project management. This role also mentors and leads junior colleagues in all areas of CA professional and technical development, coordinates internal processes including QAQC reviews and documentation management, and supports a continuous learning environment.

Responsibilities

• Deliver projects in Construction with minimal oversight.
• Execute and/or oversee multiple projects simultaneously.
• Effectively manage project staff and schedule to ensure completion within allocated periods of time.
• Manage junior staff involved for fixed periods during CA, rotating in and out to gain experience, while mentoring and overseeing them.
• Maintain ongoing, positive, and proactive client relationships.
• Coach, mentor, and provide performance-enhancing feedback to team members.
• Direct activities related to construction administration, including scheduling, preparation of shop drawings, field observations, reporting of change orders, and pay requests.
• Ensure CA activities emphasize efficiency, quality assurance, and code compliance.
• Collaborate with Owners and contractors to solve problems in a time-pressure environment.
• Provide periodic briefings/reports to senior management on various needs, costs, and recommendations.

Risk Management

• Navigate sensitive issues and limit CUBE 3’s legal exposure wherever possible.
• Review active projects from a risk management perspective, detailing options to mitigate potential risk exposure early on.
• Serve as the point person when legal issues arise, coordinating with the Director of QAQC and Partners/Principals.

Job Utilization

These percentages may fluctuate with project demands and staffing.

Requirements

• Minimum of 10 years of related experience in architectural projects with a depth of experience in Construction Administration.
• Professional Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Architecture from an accredited School.
