About The Position

Stream Realty Partners, L.P. is seeking a Director of Construction & Entitlements to join its Industrial Development Services (IDS) Southeast team. Based in Atlanta and reporting to the Executive Managing Director & Partner of the platform, this role owns the full entitlement and construction execution of industrial development projects across Georgia, the Carolinas, and Florida — partnering closely with IDS developers from initial pursuit through project close-out and disposition support. Projects will consist predominantly of ground-up speculative and build-to-suit industrial developments, with some acquisitions of existing assets. The Director will operate in a highly collaborative, entrepreneurial environment — managing multiple projects at various stages of development while serving as the primary interface between the IDS development team, contractors, consultants, and local government agencies across the region.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree required; Construction Management major or concentration preferred
5–10 years of construction management experience; general contractor background with development-side exposure strongly preferred
Demonstrated ability to develop and stress-test preliminary project budgets and pursuit-cost estimates during pre-construction and due diligence phases
Proven ability to navigate local government agencies, municipal processes, and franchise utilities through entitlement, permitting, and approvals
Demonstrated competency leading consultant and contractor teams through all phases of development from initial due diligence through project substantial completion and tenant improvement
Proactive problem-solver with the ability to anticipate challenges and resolve them before they affect schedule or budget
Strong organizational and analytical skills; able to manage multiple simultaneous projects across multiple state markets and regulatory environments with high attention to detail
Clear, proactive communicator — verbal and written — both internally and externally across the full project team
Skilled at engaging professionally with a wide range of project stakeholders: developers, capital partners, municipal agencies, brokers, contractors, architects, engineers, and property managers
Adept at identifying and escalating entitlement and construction risk throughout all phases of the development lifecycle
Approaches each project with an owner’s mindset — focused on overall project success, capital efficiency, and schedule integrity rather than scope execution alone
Proficient in MS Office, Adobe, and construction project management platforms (Procore or similar)

Nice To Haves

Industrial development experience a plus; experience with complex project types — including data centers, higher education, healthcare, or multifamily — viewed favorably
Willingness to travel for site visits, due diligence trips, and team meetings — minimum once per month, with more frequent regional and Houston/Austin travel expected in year one
