North Jersey - Open to strong candidates in NY/Long Island
$175K - $250K
Summary
A real estate investment firm is seeking an Owner's Representative to oversee multiple development projects across different stages, from raw land and predevelopment through construction, completion, and disposition or lease-up.
The role will serve as the primary owner-side point person, managing approvals, plans, consultants, contractors, budgets, schedules, lender requirements, and overall project execution. The firm is open to candidates from an owner's representation, real estate development, civil engineering, architecture, or construction background.
Responsibilities
  • Oversee projects from initial land development and predevelopment through construction and completion
  • Manage permitting, entitlements, site-plan approvals, zoning matters, and other municipal approval processes
  • Coordinate with planning and zoning boards, municipalities, engineers, architects, attorneys, surveyors, and other consultants
  • Hire, manage, and hold outside professionals accountable for plans, submissions, revisions, deadlines, and deliverables
  • Solicit and evaluate proposals from contractors and vendors based on capabilities, quality, pricing, and project requirements
  • Supervise project managers, general contractors, and other professionals overseeing day-to-day construction
  • Monitor construction progress to ensure projects remain on schedule, within budget, and consistent with approved plans and contracts
  • Review contractor payment requisitions, change orders, soft costs, and supporting project documentation
  • Compile monthly project costs and documentation for lender submissions and construction draws
  • Identify delays, cost issues, approval challenges, and other project risks, and drive them toward resolution
  • Maintain clear project reporting and keep ownership informed regarding budgets, timelines, risks, and next steps
  • Manage multiple projects in different locations and phases simultaneously
Requirements
  • Strong experience in real estate development, land development, owner's representation, construction management, civil engineering, architecture, or a related field
  • Direct experience managing municipal land-development approvals, including planning boards, zoning boards, permitting, and related local agencies
  • Experience limited to New York City development is not sufficient for this role due to the different approval and entitlement process
  • Experience overseeing engineers, architects, contractors, project managers, consultants, and other vendors
  • Strong understanding of site plans, construction plans, project budgets, schedules, contracts, payment requisitions, and change orders
  • Ability to evaluate proposals, negotiate with vendors, and balance quality, cost, and project needs
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to drive timelines, follow up consistently, and hold outside parties accountable
  • Organized, hands-on, and capable of managing multiple projects and priorities at once
  • Strong communication, judgment, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
