Help bring high-profile retail developments to life as the new pre-construction manager for a prominent national property firm. This organization consistently garners positive press and awards for its ambitious projects, design and LEED-certified buildings. A publicly traded company with high-end retail centers in major markets across the country, it will offer the right person an excellent opportunity to grow his or her career in project leadership.

The new manager will take charge of the design, estimating and planning phases of construction.

This professional will maintain relevant documents, forecasts and budgets. He or she also will contribute to phasing plans and will work regularly with managers in development, design, construction, tenant coordination and property management.

The ideal candidate will possess a relevant bachelor’s degree and supplemental training from relevant industry groups alongside five to seven years of construction management experience. A background in retail construction is preferred, as are prior positions with a large general contractor or retail developer. The new pre-construction manager will be extremely skilled at problem solving, analytical thinking and communicating with a variety of teams.
