What are the responsibilities and job description for the Real Estate Development Field Associate (Entry Level) position at Tower Real Estate?
About us
We are a NYC-focused real estate investment and development firm based in Great Neck. Our active pipeline includes gut renovations of luxury townhouses and ground-up condominium development and value-add multifamily acquisitions across Brooklyn and Manhattan. We are a small, hands-on team that moves fast and runs lean.
The role
This is a unique opportunity for someone early in their career to get an unfiltered, end-to-end look at how NYC real estate deals actually get done, from acquisition through construction and sale/lease-up.
You will mostly be on active construction sites in Brooklyn. Expect to be on the road daily.
What you'll do
- Travel to active job sites in Brooklyn to monitor progress, document conditions, and report back
- Oversee general contractors and subcontractors on-site
- Meet vendors, and delivery crews; pick up materials and handle on-the-ground logistics as needed
- Assist with tenant-facing tasks at our existing rental portfolio
Who you are
- 0–5 years of work experience; recent graduates strongly encouraged to apply
- Reliable vehicle and a clean driver's license — daily Brooklyn travel is non-negotiable
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and clear written communication
- Comfortable on active construction sites and around tradespeople
- Self-starter who can think on your feet and solve problems
- Background or coursework in real estate, construction management, civil engineering, architecture, urban planning, or finance is a plus
- Familiarity with NYC building code, DOB filings, or zoning is a bonus but not required, we will teach you
What we offer
- Direct mentorship from the principals and exposure to every aspect of the business
- A clear growth path, this role is designed to develop into expanded project management and acquisitions responsibilities as you prove yourself
- A real seat at the table at a growing firm, not a corporate cog role
How to apply
Submit your resume along with a short note (a paragraph is fine) explaining why this role interests you.
Application Question(s):
- Are you able to drive to and from job sites in Brooklyn with your own vehicle?
