This is a full-time, project-dedicated on-site position, Monday through Friday, supporting a 36-month capital improvement program across seven occupied residential buildings in Rockaway, NY. The On-Site Project Manager will maintain campus-wide field visibility, document observable progress, coordinate apartment access and occupied-building logistics, support resident communications, and promptly escalate field and coordination concerns to the PMG Director and responsible parties. The On-Site Project Manager reports to the assigned PMG project lead and serves as AKAM-PMG's day-to-day field coordination contact. The retained Architect/Engineer remains responsible for design and code compliance, technical interpretations, RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, testing and inspection requirements, identification of defective work, punch lists, and certification of completion. This role observes, documents, coordinates, communicates, and escalates; it does not perform professional design or inspection, determine technical compliance, direct contractor means and methods or safety, certify payment, approve changes, accept work, stop work, or bind the Owner.

Responsibilities

• Maintain full-time campus coverage and remain current on active work areas, access restrictions, shutdowns, inspections, deliveries, parking impacts, and near-term milestones across the seven buildings.
• Prepare detailed daily reports, date-stamped photographs, and action records covering trades and manpower, work locations, observable progress, disruptions, resident impacts, and significant discussions.
• Use schedules and look-ahead plans prepared by the responsible parties to coordinate notices, access, shutdowns, deliveries, and logistics; report apparent delays or conflicts without assuming schedule preparation or control.
• Serve as PMG's field contact among property management, building staff, residents, the Architect/Engineer, contractor, consultants, vendors, and inspectors; attend meetings and site walks and follow up with responsible parties.
• Move among the seven buildings as priorities require and maintain a consolidated view of work areas, apartment access, resident notices, shutdowns, parking restrictions, deliveries, inspections, and cross-building conflicts.
• Coordinate approved apartment access, staging, outages, temporary conditions, resident protection, and Owner-approved relocation logistics; prepare consistent resident communications and translated notices when required.
• Track notices, appointments, attempted and completed access, refusals, missed work, complaints, damage, incidents, and restoration; promptly escalate emergencies, loss of essential service, and resident-protection concerns.
• Record readily observable conditions, incomplete or
