Development Project Manager (Sarasota County)

Project Manager – Retail Development (Site / Ground-Up Focus)

Sarasota (Field-Based | 1 Day In-Office)

We are partnering with a well-established, highly active real estate development firm focused on net lease retail projects across Florida. With a significant pipeline of active and upcoming developments, the team is looking to add a Project Manager to help drive execution across multiple concurrent sites.

This is a boots-on-the-ground role designed for someone who thrives in the field, enjoys managing multiple projects at once, and wants real ownership over project delivery—not just reporting.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact role where you will:

• Manage 5–8 concurrent ground-up development projects
• Focus heavily on site work and horizontal construction
• Spend the majority of your time in the field overseeing active projects
• Work directly with leadership and play a key role in scaling project execution

The platform offers a strong brand, consistent deal flow, and a collaborative, no-ego environment where high performers are trusted to own their work.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee multiple retail development projects from pre-construction through completion
• Manage site work execution, subcontractors, and field operations
• Coordinate with engineers, architects, and consultants
• Track and maintain project budgets, schedules, and timelines
• Conduct regular site visits and ensure quality control across projects
• Support procurement, contract review, and project reporting
• Participate in weekly team and stakeholder update meetings

What We’re Looking For

• 3–8+ years of construction or development experience
• Strong exposure to site work / civil / horizontal construction
• Experience managing multiple projects at once
• Comfortable being in the field 4–5 days per week
• Highly accountable, self-directed, and execution-focused

Nice to Have:

• Retail or net lease project experience
• Engineering or Construction Management background

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: Competitive and flexible based on experience
• Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
• Car allowance + gas reimbursement
• 401(k) + additional benefits

Why Join

• High-volume project exposure (significantly more reps than most PM roles)
• Strong pipeline with ~20 projects coming online
• Opportunity to grow into senior leadership as the team expands
• Collaborative, flat culture with real ownership and accountability
