Our team is redefining building design and engineering. AE Works is an award-winning firm ranked among the top U.S. A/E firms by Architectural Record and ENR East. AE Works is recognized for our commitment to innovation and delivering exceptional results.
 
Our mission is straightforward:  to make building projects a better value. We thrive on solving complex challenges and creating solutions that enhance the built environment, enabling our clients to succeed in their most important endeavors.
 
WHY AE WORKS?
Our strength lies in our people. We offer a collaborative environment where expertise is shared, and ideas drive progress. You’ll work alongside architects, engineers, cost estimators, and construction managers with deep experience across higher education, government, engineering & infrastructure, healthcare and commercial markets. Together, we apply leading-edge technology and a passion for design excellence to projects that shape the future.
 
POSITION OVERVIEW:
The Construction Manager / Project Manager – Design & Construction serves as the on-site representative for the firm and the owner, coordinating the execution of commercial design and construction projects. This individual is ultimately accountable for the success of assigned projects and for delivering a great client experience by aligning the expectations of the owner, contractor, and design team. Acting as the primary point of contact among contractors, owners, and other project stakeholders, this role ensures that construction activities are executed in accordance with the contract documents, schedule, and budget.
 
LOCATION:
Position is located in Pittsburgh, PA or Washington, DC with travel to client and project sites.  Must be located in either area or willing to relocate. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Serve as the primary construction point of contact for contractors, owners, and other agents employed by the owner (designer, inspector, construction manager, etc.).
  • Manage and direct efficient communication among contractors, the firm, and the client, including submittal reviews, document interpretations (RFIs/questions), and construction observations to verify that contract requirements are being maintained.
  • Execute project plans through the various phases of commercial building projects — design, bidding, permitting, and construction — with a primary focus on construction administration.
  • Review, know, and understand the contents of Owner-Contractor agreements, along with the design documents, specifications, and applicable industry (OAA) documents and master specifications.
  • Rigorously enforce the design intent reflected in the Architect’s Contract Documents (drawings and specifications), while maintaining working knowledge of the engineering design intent from consulting disciplines.
  • Effectively represents the interests of the owner, the firm, and supporting consultants throughout the construction phase.
  • Run or participate in Owner/Architect/Contractor (OAC) progress meetings.
  • Manage the construction budget and maintain monthly forecasts; report on the owner’s project budget, including hard and soft costs.
  • Create, update, and manage project schedules across all project phases; review and report on schedule risks or conflicts.
  • Assist in the procurement of project teams, including consultants and contractors, and support contract negotiations with project consultants.
  • Coordinate among the owner’s consultants, vendors, and contractors.
  • Provide an appropriate level of on-site supervision to ensure project performance criteria are being met.
  • Develop relationships with consultants, contractors, and vendors, and evaluate their performance; operate independently on project-relevant activities.
  • Ensure accounts receivable are maintained within the planned working capital targets set by corporate finance, the project team, and/or the Regional Operations Manager.


QUALIFICATIONS
What’s Required:
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or Business from an accredited institution highly preferred.
  • 5+ years of progressive experience on commercial design and/or construction projects as a design/construction project manager, program manager, or owner’s representative.
  • Strong technical knowledge of construction materials, building trades, means and methods, and the relationships among subcontractors, suppliers, and manufacturers.
  • Advanced knowledge of construction contract administration policies, procedures, and concepts.
  • Advanced knowledge of project design and construction documentation and construction materials.
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills, with strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
  • Ability to create and manage building design and construction project schedules and budgets.
What Puts You Ahead:
  • 10+ years of progressive commercial design/construction project management experience.
  • Proficiency in Procore or similar construction project management software.
  • Skilled with scheduling software such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or similar, plus Excel-based cost management tools.
  • Comfort using cloud-based and mobile technology for real-time project collaboration.
  • A track record of taming project complexity by proactively aligning owner, contractor, and design team expectations.
  • Prior experience serving as the site lead across the full project lifecycle — design, bidding, permitting, and construction closeout.
  • Active engagement in professional development or industry organizations related to construction management.
