Assistant Project Manager

REAL ESTATE PROJECT MANAGER / CONSTRUCTION MANAGER(Owner Side)

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Real Estate Project Manager to take properties from acquisition through renovation, permitting, tenant improvements, leasing delivery, and stabilization.

This is an owner side role, not a general contractor role. You will represent ownership and work directly with the principals, property management, leasing, tenants, architects, engineers, contractors, vendors, and municipalities.

The right person can walk a property, figure out what needs to happen, build a plan and budget, bring in the right contractors and consultants, run the work, and make sure it gets finished properly, on time, and at a cost that makes sense for a long term owner.

What You Will Do

• Own renovation, capital improvement, tenant improvement, and property improvement projects across the portfolio from scoping through closeout
• Walk properties regularly and oversee work in the field
• Prepare scopes, budgets, schedules, and recommendations for ownership
• Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate contractor and consultant bids, and recommend awards
• Manage architects, engineers, contractors, and consultants through design, permitting, and construction
• Coordinate permits, plan check, inspections, utilities, and city requirements
• Review plans, proposals, invoices, pay applications, change orders, and schedules, and hold the project to budget
• Coordinate landlord work and tenant improvements with tenants and the leasing team, and manage delivery conditions and construction obligations under leases
• Spot problems early and bring practical solutions, not just status updates
• Keep ownership informed with regular, concise project and budget updates
• Maintain project records, contracts, permits, plans, warranties, and closeout documentation
• Build and maintain a bench of reliable contractors, vendors, and consultants
• Support acquisitions by walking prospective properties and identifying renovation needs, deferred maintenance, and redevelopment opportunities
• Work with property management so that completed projects hold up in operation and keep long term operating costs in mind

What We Are Looking For

• Experience in commercial real estate project management, construction, development, or property improvement
• Experience with retail, office, industrial, or multifamily properties
• Working knowledge of California building codes, permitting, and municipal processes
• Solid understanding of construction methods, budgets, schedules, and project coordination
• Ability to read and understand architectural and engineering plans
• Experience dealing directly with contractors, architects, engineers, tenants, and city staff
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and clear written and verbal communication
• Ability to run multiple projects at once and make decisions without constant direction
• Comfortable in the field and visiting properties regularly
• Valid California driver’s license and reliable transportation

A Plus, Not a Requirement

• Construction management or architecture background, or CAD and plan markup ability

Pay: $51,000.00 - $71,500.00 per year
