  • Perform project completion inspections, punch lists, and delivery.
  • Hire and supervise superintendents and foremen as necessary to ensure proper supervision and performance of construction projects.

  • Additional industry training or ICSC or BOMA coursework is a plus.
  • Detailed knowledge about the methods and standards of multiple construction trades.
  • At least 4 years’ experience managing retail construction projects, including land development, buildings and tenant/interior improvements.
  • Experience with nationally recognized general contractors or retail developers or tenants preferred.
  • Strong track record managing consultants (architectural, civil, geotechnical, landscaping, traffic, etc.) and overseeing budgets.
  • Skilled at reviewing complex construction drawings, legal documents, leases, and development agreements.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook), AutoCAD (or equivalent), and Adobe. Knowledge of construction job-costing or tracking software is desirable.
  • Highly trustworthy with ability to manage sensitive financial and real estate information.
  • Exceptional communication skills for interacting with internal teams, contractors, consultants, tenants, and public officials.
