Contractor Developer information

What is a contractor developer?

A Contractor Developer is a software developer hired on a contract basis rather than as a full-time employee. They typically work on specific projects for a set duration, providing specialized skills to companies that need temporary or project-based development work. Contractor Developers may work independently or through staffing agencies, and they often handle multiple clients over time. This role offers flexibility but requires managing contracts, taxes, and finding new projects.

What are the typical work arrangements and expectations for contractor developers?

Contractor Developers often work on a project or contract basis, which can mean working independently, remotely, or as part of a larger development team depending on the client’s needs. Flexibility is common, but there are usually clear deliverables, deadlines, and expectations for high-quality work. You may interact frequently with project managers, clients, and other developers to clarify requirements and report progress. This role suits professionals who are self-driven, capable of managing their own schedules, and comfortable navigating different technical environments. As a contractor, you can gain exposure to a variety of industries and technologies, making it an excellent path for continuous skill growth and professional advancement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contractor developer?

To thrive as a Contractor Developer, you need strong programming skills, a thorough understanding of software development methodologies, and often relevant experience or a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with project management tools, source control systems like Git, and knowledge of popular frameworks or cloud platforms is key, as are certifications such as AWS Certified Developer or Scrum Master when required. Excellent communication, time management, and problem-solving abilities set standout contractor developers apart. These competencies are crucial for delivering quality work on-time, adapting to diverse projects, and effectively collaborating with clients and teams.

Job description

Construction Owner's Representative / Project Manager (West Palm Beach, FL)
Approximately 20% National Travel

Are you ready to transition from building projects to building value?

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to oversee commercial real estate capital improvement, redevelopment, projects from property acquisition through repositioning and transition into the investment portfolio.

This is an opportunity to represent ownership, not a general contractor. You will manage consultants, contractors, budgets, schedules, and stakeholders while protecting the owner's investment and maximizing asset value.

YOU WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

  • Manage projects from acquisition due diligence through stabilization and turnover to Property Management.
  • Evaluate existing building conditions and develop capital improvement strategies.
  • Coordinate architects, engineers, contractors, municipalities, and third-party consultants.
  • Lead budgeting, estimating, scheduling, bidding, contract negotiations, and construction execution.
  • Review project financials, pay applications, change orders, and schedule performance.
  • Coordinate tenant improvement projects and support leasing initiatives.
  • Conduct Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meetings and maintain communication with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure projects are completed safely, on schedule, within budget, and aligned with the company's investment objectives.
  • Travel approximately 20% nationally to oversee projects and attend key project meetings.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

  • Experience as a Lead Project Manager experience with a commercial General Contractor, Developer, Owner's Representative, or Real Estate Development firm.
  • Experience managing commercial renovation, redevelopment, retail, mixed-use, office, industrial projects
  • Strong understanding of budgeting, scheduling, contract administration, permitting, and construction management.
  • Ability to lead multiple projects simultaneously while balancing competing priorities.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with owners/investors, consultants, contractors
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field preferred.

WHY YOU WANT THIS OPPORTUNITY?

This role offers the opportunity to move beyond managing a single construction project and become a trusted representative of ownership. You'll help guide investment decisions, oversee multiple assets, and play a key role in transforming properties from acquisition through successful repositioning into a high-performing real estate portfolio.

If you enjoy seeing the bigger picture, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and protecting an owner's investment while delivering exceptional projects, we'd love to connect with you.
