Job description
Project Manager, High-End Residential Construction | Manhattan
A Manhattan general contractor specializing in high-end residential construction, primarily townhouses & higher-end interior renovations, is hiring an experienced Project Manager to join at a genuinely exciting point in its growth.
The firm has grown fast, by reputation and referral, and is delivering complex, design-led work for some of the most respected architects in the city. Recent work includes a project of real profile in the design world. There is a strong pipeline of signed work, so the busy period is guaranteed for years, not quarters.
For the right person this is a rare thing: joining early enough to shape how the business runs, with real runway to grow into senior positions as the firm scales.
The role
You'll take full ownership of your projects from preconstruction through close-out: budget, schedule, buyout, submittals and RFIs, procurement, change orders, subcontractor performance, DOB coordination, and client and design team relationships. The owners stay hands-on alongside a highly experienced Project Executive, so no PM here is ever left without senior support.
What we're looking for
Background in high-end residential: townhouses, gut renovations, luxury apartments, or architect-led custom interiors (Ideally projects $5M+)
A track record running high-end residential projects as the lead PM
Experience working effectively with top-tier architects and designers
Strong on cost control, documentation, and program. Procore or comparable
Comfortable with millwork, high-spec finishes, and demanding clients and design teams. In this market, the last 5% of the job is the job
Initiative and ownership matter here more than CV credentials
NYC based and field present. This is an office and site role, not a remote one
Must be authorized to work in the US
Why this one is worth a conversation
Join a fast-growing firm early, with genuine influence over how it scales and real runway into senior roles
Hands-on, fair leadership that shields the team on the hard stuff and wants people to enjoy the work
Serious in-house self-perform capability, including some of the best field teams in the market
Discretionary performance bonus, awarded on company and individual performance
401(k) with employer match
Medical, dental and vision
3 weeks paid time off, rising with tenure, plus a full paid holiday calendar including time between Christmas & New Year
8 weeks paid parental leave
Unlimited transit card for personal use, plus reimbursement of work-related travel
8:00 AM to 5:00 PM as standard, no expectation of consistent late nights
Compensation: From $140,000 base, depending on experience, plus discretionary performance bonus and full benefits. Base is negotiable for the right candidate; there is no upper limit, but $170/180 is probably realistic.
