About The Position

We are looking for a Neighborhood Development Project Manager to become a valued member of our Neighborhood Development team who are growing our portfolio of some of the most recognized neighborhoods in Pennsylvania. You will play an important role in helping us make our mark by setting a new standard for how our country looks and people live, making them feel special by creating homes and neighborhoods with character that they will truly love. To be considered for the role, you will possess a minimum of 7 years of real estate development experience. You will be able to demonstrate to us a strong knowledge regarding land use regulations and zoning, land development, and site design and grading, as well as experience both managing site improvements on plans and on site. You will also excel at effectively and regularly providing reporting and in person updates regarding actual versus planned results. You will also be able to demonstrate competency in technology used within the industry to design and schedule projects. You will also have a received a bachelor’s or advanced degree in an engineering discipline, law, or construction management. To be considered for the role, you will possess exceptional communication skills which include listening generously (understanding people’s words, context, tone and intent) and being structured in your messaging (organizing your thoughts for greater impact and speaking and writing clearly). In addition, you will demonstrate the ability to manage projects (planning, organizing, and executing initiatives by coordinating resources, managing risks, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and according to plan), identify problems (recognizing issues and clearly communicating the problem), analyze information (recognizing trends and how they influence decisions), set priorities (organizing tasks by urgency and importance), and use time wisely (managing deadlines without sacrificing quality). You will also need to demonstrate examples of your commitment to “always improving” and “delivering every day” to the highest standards. This is position for someone who is currently managing projects and is ready to broaden their experience and responsibility in a fast paced and highly focused team – it is not an early-career opportunity.
