Senior Project Manager — Ground-Up Residential | Greenpoint, NY

Our client is a well-established residential developer with a 40-story ground-up tower breaking ground in Greenpoint in approximately two months. They’re looking for a Senior PM who leads from the front — someone with the technical chops and the people skills to run a complex high-rise from dirt to certificate of occupancy.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full project lifecycle on a 40-story ground-up residential tower — from pre-construction through closeout
• Lead, manage, and develop a project team including superintendents, coordinators, and subcontractors
• Drive scheduling, budgeting, and cost control to keep the project on time and on budget
• Coordinate with ownership, architects, engineers, and city agencies throughout construction
• Manage permitting, inspections, and DOB compliance in NYC
• Run weekly OAC meetings and report directly to executive leadership
• Identify risks early and solve problems before they become delays

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

• 8+ years of construction project management experience, with high-rise residential in NYC
• Proven track record taking ground-up projects from foundation through CO
• Strong leadership skills — you build teams, not just manage tasks
• Deep knowledge of NYC DOB, permits, and inspection processes
• Comfortable owning a project independently with minimal oversight

Nice to Have

• Experience with 30+ story residential towers in Brooklyn or Manhattan
• Existing relationships with NYC subcontractors and trades
• PMP or similar certification

Why Join

• Flagship project — 40-story ground-up in one of Brooklyn’s hottest neighborhoods
• Leadership role with full project ownership and executive visibility
• Competitive comp for the right operator
• Day shift hours — 8am to 5pm, no crazy overtime culture

Compensation: $175,000–$225,000
