We are seeking an experienced A/E Project Manager to lead architecture and engineering projects from initial kickoff through design, permitting, construction, and final delivery.

This is a hands-on project leadership role with direct responsibility for project scope, schedules, budgets, deliverables, and client relationships. The Project Manager will coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, and other project stakeholders to keep multidisciplinary teams aligned and projects moving efficiently.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary design project management and is comfortable taking ownership of projects, identifying issues early, driving accountability, and communicating directly with clients.

Responsibilities

  • Lead architecture and engineering projects from kickoff through design, permitting, construction, and final delivery
  • Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, deliverables, milestones, and client communication
  • Lead and coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, and other project team members throughout the project lifecycle
  • Establish priorities and ensure project teams remain aligned with schedules, budgets, and client objectives
  • Monitor project progress and follow up on outstanding deliverables to maintain schedule performance
  • Identify scope gaps, coordination issues, design conflicts, and project risks early
  • Work with multidisciplinary teams to resolve design and scope issues before they affect schedule, budget, or quality
  • Manage workflows across architectural, engineering, permitting, and construction phases
  • Communicate directly with clients, provide project updates, address concerns, and manage expectations
  • Coordinate design reviews, project milestones, permitting requirements, and construction-phase activities
  • Monitor project requirements and deliverables to ensure alignment with contracts, client expectations, and project goals
  • Maintain organized project documentation and provide regular status updates to company leadership

Requirements

  • 5 years of experience managing architecture, engineering, or design projects from kickoff through permitting and construction
  • Experience working within an architecture, engineering, or multidisciplinary professional design firm
  • Demonstrated ownership of project scope, schedule, budget, deliverables, and client relationships
  • Proven experience leading architects, engineers, consultants, and multidisciplinary project teams
  • Strong understanding of design workflows, permitting processes, construction documentation, and construction-phase coordination
  • Ability to identify scope conflicts, resolve project issues, and keep teams aligned with deadlines
  • Strong client-facing communication and relationship-management skills
  • Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and project leadership abilities
  • Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and milestones simultaneously
  • Direct project management and project delivery experience is required. Candidates whose experience is primarily project coordination or administrative support will not meet the requirements for this position

Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Health insurance options
  • Retirement plan options
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Professional development and continuing education opportunities
