Senior Pre-Construction Project Manager
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Schedule: Full-Time | On-Site
Compensation: $150,000–$200,000 DOE
About the Role
A leading real estate development firm is seeking a highly experienced Senior Pre-Construction Project Manager to oversee projects from land acquisition through the start of construction. This is a critical role responsible for managing every aspect of the pre-development process, ensuring projects are fully entitled, designed, permitted, bid, and ready for a successful groundbreaking.
This is not a construction management role. The ideal candidate will lead the project through pre-construction and transition it to the field team once construction begins.
Responsibilities
• Manage the entire pre-construction process from land acquisition through groundbreaking.
• Coordinate architects, engineers, expeditors, consultants, and other project professionals.
• Oversee due diligence, feasibility studies, zoning, permitting, and agency approvals.
• Develop and manage project budgets, schedules, bidding, and procurement throughout pre-construction.
• Review drawings, specifications, and consultant deliverables to ensure projects are construction-ready.
• Work closely with ownership to provide project updates, timelines, and budget reporting.
• Identify risks early and proactively resolve issues to keep projects moving forward.
• Coordinate the transition from pre-construction to the construction team at project kickoff.
