Senior Project Manager with Ground up project experience required in San Jose

Your new company

Our client, a leading national developer-builder, is advancing Phase 2 of a multiphase master-planned community in North San Jose. The first phase—a 400-unit, 6-story wrap-style multifamily project—is already underway. Phase 2 will build on this momentum as part of a larger plan to deliver over 1,000 market-rate apartments. We’re seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead this next high-profile phase from day one.

Your new role

As the Senior Project Manager, you’ll lead the buyout and budgeting process, oversee documentation workflows (RFIs, submittals, change orders), and partner closely with the Lead Superintendent to drive the project to successful completion—on time and on budget. You’ll also mentor junior team members and play a key role in maintaining relationships with subcontractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders.


What you'll need to succeed

  • 10+ years of experience in ground-up multifamily or commercial construction
  • Proven success managing large-scale projects from preconstruction to closeout
  • Strong technical knowledge and document control experience
  • Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, and PlanGrid
  • Assertive leadership style with humility and team-first mindset

What you'll get in return

This is a career-defining opportunity to join a premier developer-builder with a robust pipeline and a clear path to executive leadership. In addition to a competitive salary, the benefits include:

Base Salary: Up to $220k DOE
Auto Allowance: $10K annually
Full benefits: Health, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability PTO + 401K
Highly Competitive Guaranteed Annual Bonus
