Summary/Objective:

Trimark seeks an experienced Project Manager to join our company. Trimark Properties delivers construction projects through a number of vehicles, including a turn-key approach wherein we contract with a general contractors and/or construction manager to deliver a project. Depending on the project size/scope, we also act as the prime contractor, contracting services with subcontractors and suppliers directly.

In addition, every project begins with a vision that is set by the ownership group of Trimark Properties. That vision is then translated into a design and detailed construction documents from which the vision can become a reality.

We are therefore seeking a hard-working, team-oriented individual who can provide oversight to design professionals during the planning/design phase, and then provide oversight during construction either as an Owner’s Representative, overseeing the general contractor / construction manager, or as Project Manager, managing subcontractors and suppliers, including crafting scopes of work, scheduling, project accounting, RFIs, submittals, etc.

• Attend meetings, providing direction to consultants, being sure to take detailed minutes that capture that direction for communication to other members of the project team, including ownership.
• Proactively manage all project related accounting, including change orders. This will either entail reviewing general contractor / construction manager applications for payments and change order proposals, or processing subcontractor pay applications and thoroughly evaluating / vetting subcontractor change order proposals.

Required Skills/Qualifications:
