POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking an experienced, client-facing Project Manager / Estimator to lead the full lifecycle of construction projects — from preconstruction and estimating through final closeout.

The successful candidate will have direct accountability for project schedule, budget, subcontractor performance, regulatory compliance, and client satisfaction — while simultaneously

producing accurate, competitive, and well-documented estimates for new pursuits. Regular on-site presence at active project locations throughout the New York metropolitan area is required.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The following describes the core functions of this position.

Project Management

• Manage all project phases from Notice to Proceed (NTP) through final closeout.
• Serve as the primary owner-facing representative on assigned projects.
• Develop, baseline, and maintain CPM project schedules in MS Project or Primavera P6; monitor critical path, identify schedule risks, and implement recovery plans as required.
• Manage project financials: budget tracking, cost-to-complete forecasting, subcontractor pay application review, change order pricing and negotiation, and monthly owner billing.
• Direct and coordinate subcontractor and supplier activities on-site; enforce contract scope, quality standards, safety compliance, and schedule adherence.
• Ensure full compliance with all applicable city and state building codes.
• Lead Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) and Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM) planning and enforcement on all healthcare projects.
• Coordinate with clinical operations, facilities management, and infection control departments to plan and execute phased construction in occupied healthcare environments with zero impact to patient care or clinical operations.
• Manage document control: distribute drawing revisions, maintain RFI logs, submittal logs, and change order logs using Procore or equivalent construction management software.
• Conduct regular site inspections to verify quality of work, safety conditions, and schedule compliance; document field observations with written reports and photographs.
• Oversee project closeout: coordinate regulatory inspections and sign-offs, compile O&M manuals and warranty packages, obtain certificates of occupancy or equivalent, and deliver final close-out documentation to the owner.
• Maintain strict confidentiality with respect to client operations, patient-sensitive environments, and proprietary project information.

Estimating and Preconstruction

• Conduct thorough drawing, specification, and document review during the bid phase; identify scope gaps, conflicts, or ambiguities; issue RFIs to design teams on behalf of the company.
• Develop and maintain trade-specific unit cost databases, historical cost benchmarks, and bid comparison matrices.
• Prepare bid leveling analyses across multiple subcontractor proposals; present findings and recommendations to ownership with written summary documentation.
• Collaborate with ownership on value engineering, constructability review, and scope definition during preconstruction.
• Prepare and submit prequalification packages, bid bonds, and project-specific procurement documentation as required.
• Maintain records of bid results, win/loss ratios, and market pricing trends to continuously refine estimating accuracy.

Administrative and Compliance

• Maintain organized, complete project files — digital and physical — in accordance with company document control standards and client requirements.
• Prepare and distribute weekly project status reports, cost forecasts, and look-ahead schedules to ownership and clients.
• Ensure timely execution and tracking of all subcontractor and supplier contracts, insurance certificates, certified payrolls (where applicable), and compliance documents.
• Participate actively in the company safety program per OSHA 29 CFR 1926 requirements.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Minimum 5 years of construction project management and/or estimating experience, with a demonstrated track record in healthcare, institutional, or MEP-heavy commercial renovation.

• Thorough working knowledge of the NYC Building Code, NYC DOB filing requirements, FDNY regulations (including fire alarm and sprinkler coordination), and OSHA construction safety standards (29 CFR 1926).
• Proficiency in MS Project or Primavera P6 for CPM scheduling.
• Proficiency in Procore or equivalent construction management software.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret full construction document sets across all disciplines: architectural, structural, MEP, fire protection, and civil.
• Experience coordinating multiple trades simultaneously on active, phased construction projects.
• Valid driver's license.

Preferred

• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification (PMI).
• OSHA-30 Hour Construction Safety certification.
• Experience working within a major health system construction portfolio (e.g., Mount Sinai Health System, NYU Langone, New York-Presbyterian, Northwell Health).
