About The Position

25 Design LLC is seeking a Construction Project Manager to lead projects for Get Air Sports, a growing family entertainment business.

Experience sourcing and managing general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, vendors, and specialty installers.
Strong knowledge of construction documents, contracts, scopes of work, schedules, budgets, RFIs, submittals, pay applications, change orders, inspections, and punch lists.
Ability to manage several projects, vendors, and deadlines simultaneously.
Strong negotiation, financial, problem-solving, organizational, and written and verbal communication skills.
Willingness and ability to travel to project sites as business needs require.
Valid driver’s license and ability to access active construction sites.

Experience with family entertainment centers, amusement attractions, fitness facilities, recreation venues, or specialized equipment installations.
Familiarity with commercial building codes, accessibility requirements, fire/life-safety systems, permitting, and certificate-of-occupancy processes.
Experience using project-management and construction platforms such as Procore, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, Autodesk Build, Bluebeam, or comparable tools.
