Construction Project Manager
About the role
At AECOM, we're delivering a better world—improving commutes, keeping the lights on, providing clean water, and transforming skylines. As the world's trusted infrastructure consulting firm, we partner with clients to solve complex challenges and build legacies for future generations. AECOM Tishman, a unit with roots since 1898, has managed some of the largest and most complex mixed‑use and mega‑development projects in the U.S., constructing over 600 million square feet of luxury residential buildings, historic renovations, top‑rated hospitals, and iconic tall buildings. This Project Manager position is based in New York City, is on‑site (not hybrid or remote), and requires successful completion of a client background check (criminal check and fingerprint screening) after hire. The role does not include sponsorship for U.S. work authorization, and a pre‑employment substance abuse test is required. AECOM intends to fill this vacancy by January 5, 2027, and newly hired employees must attend an in‑person Day 1 onboarding at an AECOM office.
