The project contains three levels of parking with units on top of the parking podium. The property will feature a rooftop pool, fitness center, and recreation rooms as amenities.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Project Manager with Findorff, you'll lead construction projects from early planning through closeout, owning the process, the relationships, and the results. Because our work spans a wide range of project types, sizes, and complexities, no two projects look exactly the same.

Apply Construction Expertise

Drive Procurement Efforts

Lead bidding and contracting processes, oversee subcontractor and vendor selection, and manage submittals to keep work aligned with project requirements and timelines.

Plan and Execute Projects

Develop and maintain project schedules, lead meetings, coordinate with self-perform teams and subcontractors, and champion safety planning to deliver successful, well-executed projects.

Own Financial Performance

Manage all financial aspects of your projects — from preconstruction and estimating through forecasting, cost control, and change management — ensuring strong financial outcomes.

Lead Project Teams

Provide clear direction and leadership to project teams, fostering strong communication, mentoring team members, resolving conflicts, and building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.
