PDS Multi-Site Project Manager Vertical: Retail / Financial Services / QSR

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field
4–6 years of project management experience in construction, retail rollout, or facilities capital programs
Demonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects or a multi-site program simultaneously
Proficiency in project management software (MS Project, Smartsheet, Excel, Procore, etc)
Strong working knowledge of construction scheduling, contract management, and cost control
Excellent communication skills — able to synthesize complex program status for both field teams and executive stakeholders
Exceptional organizational discipline, with a track record of managing competing priorities without losing details

Nice To Haves

Experience with national or regional rollout programs (retail, financial services, quick serve restaurants, or similar)
Familiarity with occupied-space or live-environment construction constraints
Experience managing permitting across multiple states or jurisdictions
Knowledge of building codes, ADA compliance, and sustainability standards relevant to the vertical
Proficiency with digital reporting tools, dashboards, or AI-assisted project tracking
Experience in a matrixed or regional organization structure

Responsibilities

Managing a concurrent portfolio of projects across multiple geographies — from pre-construction through closeout — ensuring each site meets client quality standards, schedule commitments, and budget targets without compromising the program as a whole.
Building and maintaining the systems, trackers, and communication cadences that keep distributed project teams aligned. You know what's happening at every site, and you know it before problems escalate.
Serving as the primary point of contact for client facilities teams, regional leaders, and brand/operations stakeholders. You translate complex program status into clear, decision-ready communication — and you build the trust that keeps clients coming back.
Developing program-level schedules, identifying sequencing risks across sites, and maintaining float where it matters. When one location slips, you protect the rest of the portfolio.
Tracking project finances across multiple active scopes — managing GC contracts, change orders, and cost forecasts at the site level while maintaining accuracy at the portfolio level.
Managing general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and national vendor programs across markets. You set clear expectations, enforce schedule and quality commitments, and escalate when partners aren't performing.
Ensuring deliverables at every site meet client brand standards, prototype requirements, and JLL quality benchmarks — through defined inspection protocols, photo documentation, and structured punch-list management.
Identifying what's slowing the program down — permitting timelines, GC onboarding, reporting gaps — and driving process changes that make the next wave of projects faster and more efficient.
