Project Manager

Description

WithersRavenel is recruiting a Project Manager to join our expanding and innovative Residential Practice Area!

This role is a unique opportunity, especially given the diverse project portfolio and growth potential within the Charlotte office.  The role would be ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple sectors-residential, commercial, and industrial-and wants to be involved in the broader aspects of land development. Additionally, the opportunity to mentor and help grow the team adds a valuable leadership component to the role.  In sum, this role is a great fit for someone who is both technically skilled and interested in team development. 

This is a hybrid role working out of our Charlotte, NC office, where employees and supervisors collaborate to establish an in- and out-of-office schedule that “works” for all involved.     

Responsibilities

• Direct projects by managing and delegating tasks, forecasting and proactively addressing workload, financial performance, resource and staffing needs while collaborating with clients and teammates throughout the organization.
• Oversee and participate in the cultivation of existing client relationships including periodic client meetings, proposal and budget development, and obtaining feedback in conjunction with Marketing and Practice Area teammates.
• Prepare agreements and oversee the creation and approval of construction plans, bid documents, technical specifications and construction cost estimates.
• Analyze complex technical opportunities and devise new or improved techniques, approaches, and alternative solutions.
• Lead, coach, and mentor Team Members to achieve the goals and strategies for the Practice Area.  Actively encourage career development, training and career path planning for all of your direct teammates.
