The Real Estate Project Delivery Project Manager provides strategic leadership and end-to-end oversight for a portfolio of capital design and construction projects across a multi-state healthcare environment. Acting as the owner's representative, this role is responsible for leading projects from planning through completion, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives while delivering exceptional results in quality, schedule, and budget performance.

Projects primarily consist of healthcare facility renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and capital improvement initiatives, including imaging suite renovations, roof replacements, facility modernizations, and occasional new construction or major rebuild projects. Project values may range from smaller-scale renovations to large, complex capital projects, with portfolios collectively totaling up to $250 million.

Responsibilities include establishing and managing project scope, schedule, and budget; facilitating stakeholder meetings; overseeing contract and vendor coordination; identifying and mitigating project risks; maintaining financial controls and cash flow forecasts; and ensuring compliance with applicable codes, regulations, and industry standards.

This role requires strong construction project management expertise, exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, and the ability to successfully lead multidisciplinary teams through complex capital projects. While healthcare experience is beneficial, candidates with strong commercial, institutional, or large-scale construction backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
