## About the Company

Our client is a vertically integrated Owner/Developer/General Contractor focused on developing and building high-quality multifamily apartment communities across the Southeastern United States. They have completed over 50,000 units and currently have an additional 20,000 units under construction or in the pipeline. As a self-funded organization, they can move forward and build confidently even during market slowdowns, providing long-term stability. The company emphasizes quality, schedule adherence, and strong team collaboration.

### About the Position

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to oversee the full lifecycle of multifamily construction projects, from preconstruction through close-out. Initial assignments will focus on large-scale, garden-style apartment communities—typically 250 to 300 units per project, 4-story wood-framed construction with surface parking. This is a leadership role responsible for managing project teams, budgets, schedules, and subcontractor relationships while ensuring safety, quality, and timely delivery across all phases of construction.

You will lead and manage all phases of construction from site development through project completion, coordinate with internal teams and stakeholders to establish budgets, schedules, and project execution strategies, and solicit subcontractor bids, conduct buyouts, and negotiate/execute contracts. Ensuring high-quality construction practices, safety compliance, and adherence to design standards will be central to the role. The position requires providing leadership both on-site and in-office—balancing time between field oversight and project management duties—and collaborating with Preconstruction and Development teams for a seamless handoff and execution.

### What we're looking for

The role requires 8+ years of experience managing large-scale multifamily construction projects. A proven track record with garden-style, wood-frame apartment communities is required, along with the ability to lead all project phases independently—from groundbreaking to turnover. Candidates must have a strong understanding of construction contracts, bid solicitation, and subcontractor negotiations, and experience managing both field and office aspects of construction projects. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and other construction management software is expected. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills are important, and candidates must be willing to travel to and spend time at project sites as needed. This position is based in Sarasota, FL.

### Compensation and benefits

The position offers $150k - $175k / year in base pay. Additional benefits include:

- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses

- Health, dental, and vision insurance

- 401(k) with company match

- Generous PTO and paid holidays

- Opportunities for career growth and advancement within a well-capitalized, expanding company

- Stable pipeline of work with long-term project visibility

If you are experienced in large-scale multifamily construction—especially garden-style, wood-frame apartment communities—and are looking for a leadership role with a self-funded developer/general contractor that values quality, schedule, and team collaboration, this role could be a strong fit.
