Construction Project Manager- Apple Park Zone

Apple • San Jose, CA

7h • Onsite

About The Position

In Places, we don't sit back and let things happen — we make things happen, and we do this in service to all Apple employees and customers. Our team is a diverse and nimble group that manages Apple's retail stores, workplaces, and workplace services. We develop and manage Apple's global real estate portfolio, lead all related capital construction projects, provide outstanding facilities and site services, develop and lead sustainability initiatives, and do everything we can to ensure the health and safety of all Apple personnel, facilities, and customers around the world. As part of our Places Construction team embedded at Apple Park, you'll play a significant role in shaping one of the most architecturally and technically demanding corporate campuses in the world — while it remains fully occupied and operational. We're seeking a highly motivated and experienced Construction Project Manager to own the delivery of a high-volume portfolio of smaller, complex projects within the Apple Park zone. This includes technical laboratory fit-outs, R&D workspace upgrades, and infrastructure improvements — all executed within the constraints of a live, occupied campus and Apple's uncompromising design standards. This role demands a rare combination: the ability to manage many projects simultaneously with precision and calm, deep experience with technically complex spaces, fluency in design-build delivery, and the interpersonal skill to coordinate work in an environment where Apple's world-class teams are operating every single day.

As the Construction Project Manager for the Apple Park zone, you will serve as the primary delivery owner for a large, concurrent portfolio of capital projects — ranging from highly technical lab fit-outs to workplace renovations — all within an active, occupied campus. You will be the key point of contact for stakeholders and leadership from initial concept through design, construction, commissioning, and final handover. The ideal candidate thrives in a high-tempo environment, is deeply comfortable driving design-build project delivery, and has a proven track record managing technically complex spaces — particularly lab and R&D environments — without disrupting the surrounding occupied workplace. You bring strong systems thinking, a bias for action, and the organizational rigor to keep a large number of projects moving in parallel, never letting anything fall through the cracks.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field.
• 6-8+ years of progressive experience in construction project management, with a demonstrated portfolio of complex projects delivered concurrently.
• Proven experience managing high volumes of simultaneous projects — comfortable owning 10+ projects at varying stages of the delivery lifecycle at any given time.
• Demonstrated experience delivering design-build projects, including vendor selection, performance specification writing, and integrated team management.
• Proven track record managing technically complex spaces — specifically lab, R&D, and product development environments — including MEP-intensive fit-outs with process utilities.
• Demonstrated experience working in or delivering construction projects within occupied buildings or active campuses, with a strong understanding of the coordination, phasing, and stakeholder management requirements that entails.
• Managed projects through the full lifecycle: programming, design, permitting, construction, commissioning, and closeout.
• Proficiency in project management software (e.g., Procore, Primavera, MS Project, Bluebeam) and standard office tools.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working within high-design architectural environments where aesthetic quality, material finishes, and attention to detail are non-negotiable — ideally at a corporate campus of significant architectural standing.
• A proven ability to drive progress across large, diverse cross-functional teams without direct authority — through collaboration, influence, and clear communication.
• A self-starter with a powerful sense of ownership and a "no-task-is-too-small" attitude; does not wait to be told what needs to happen.
• Strong organizational and systems thinking skills — able to build and maintain reliable processes that keep a large portfolio moving with minimal overhead.
• Excellent communication, consensus-building, and interpersonal skills; able to translate complex technical or design topics clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment; navigates ambiguity with confidence and maintains composure across competing priorities.
• Identifies potential issues early and develops creative, practical solutions — particularly in the context of active campus constraints where problems can quickly cascade.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary delivery owner for a large, concurrent portfolio of capital projects — ranging from highly technical lab fit-outs to workplace renovations — all within an active, occupied campus.

• Keep a large number of projects moving in parallel.
• Manage project financials across a portfolio — budget creation, cost tracking, forecasting, and reporting.
