Director of Development Services
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only sections that have real content. The posting includes Position Overview (we can treat as About the role). Responsibilities section present. Qualifications present. Benefits present. Pay: they mention "Competitive rate of pay and a generous benefits program" and "Salary commensurate with experience". That's vague; we should not create Pay section if it's just "commensurate with experience" (that's placeholder). The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits: they have a Benefits paragraph with some specifics: "Competitive rate of pay and a generous benefits program Salary commensurate with experience Medical, Dental, life, vision, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance program Paid vacation time; paid sick time; paid holidays". That's actual benefits details (medical, dental, etc.) So we can include Benefits section. Pay: they mention "Competitive rate of pay" and "Salary commensurate with experience". That's vague; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. Schedule: not mentioned. Skills: not a separate section; qualifications include skills. We could combine Qualifications and Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose to include Qualifications and maybe Skills if we have skill details. The qualifications list includes many skill-like items; we could put them under Qualifications. Better to have Qualifications section covering required and preferred qualifications. No need separate Skills.
Thus sections: About the role (Position Overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Construction Manager - Development" but also they mention "Director of Development Services". We'll not use as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like asset numbers, etc. That's in the overview. We'll include that in About the role paragraph.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we need to break into list items. The responsibilities are long paragraphs with multiple sentences; we can split into logical items. Must preserve all substantive information; we can break into bullet points but must not lose info. We'll create
with each responsibility as - . Ensure we keep all details.
Similarly Qualifications: list required and preferred. We'll make
with items.
Benefits: list items.
We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO statement, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal etc. There's none.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine the initial paragraphs about Prime Group holdings and position overview. We'll put in .

Coordinate milestone reviews with development partners, design teams, and internal stakeholders; track material comments, exceptions, scope gaps, and decisions through resolution. Identify constructability, coordination, maintenance, revenue, cost, and schedule concerns early enough to avoid unnecessary redesign or rework. Confirm that the unit mix shown in project documents conforms to the Investment Committee-approved unit mix and pricing model, and flag discrepancies before construction."
2. Construction Oversight and Risk Management: "Act as PGCS's eyes and ears during construction, monitoring progress, quality, procurement, inspections, commissioning, and readiness for occupancy.

Review schedules, cost reports, OAC minutes, RFIs, submittals, procurement logs, contingency use, and field information to identify risks to budget, schedule, quality, and opening date.

Partner, Stakeholder, and Portfolio Coordination: "Serve as the primary PGCS development-services contact for assigned projects and maintain a collaborative, solutions-oriented relationship with each development partner. Coordinate with Prime Operations, Facilities, IT, Security, Marketing/Signage, Finance, Legal, and Construction teams so owner requirements and decisions are incorporated at the appropriate time. Participate in the internal weekly portfolio construction update to align Development, Construction, IT, and Operations stakeholders on cross-project status, risks, and priorities. Maintain concise portfolio reporting on milestones, schedule variance, budget exposure, Change Orders, contingency, key risks, decisions required, and upcoming project needs. Prioritize effort across the portfolio based on project phase, risk, capital exposure, critical milestones, and operational impact."

Confirm receipt of required certificates, warranties, O&M manuals, as-built drawings, test records, keys, credentials, licenses, vendor contacts, and final approvals. Support warranty resolution and capture lessons learned for future Brand Standards, scopes, checklists, and partner requirements."
