About The Position

Your position at AEI Consultants will be as a Senior Project Manager to join our expanding Building Assessment division. In this role, your primary focus will be leading and managing Capital Planning and Equity Assessment projects, providing clients with the critical data and long-term capital expenditure strategies needed to make informed investment and asset management decisions. This position may require regional, national, and international travel to meet the demands of our expanding portfolio. Secondary responsibilities will include performing Property Condition Assessments (PCAs) on existing commercial properties, monitoring new construction and renovation projects, and supporting energy and ADA audit initiatives. Together, these responsibilities position the Senior Project Manager as a key contributor to AEI's mission of delivering thorough, reliable, and actionable building assessment and capital planning solutions to clients across a broad range of property types and markets. The Senior Project Manager position offers a unique opportunity to lead and deliver comprehensive capital planning assessments across a diverse portfolio of building types and systems. You will evaluate the physical condition and long-term capital needs of a wide range of commercial property types — including government, educational, multi-family residential, office, hospitality, retail, industrial, religious, recreational, medical, assisted living facilities, manufactured housing, and marinas. A core focus of this role is the development of actionable capital expenditure forecasts and reserve planning recommendations that inform investment decisions and asset management strategies. The Senior Project Manager must possess a thorough understanding of building and site systems performance, with the ability to identify deficiencies, assess remaining useful life, and prioritize capital improvements accordingly. Success in this role requires strong technical writing proficiency to clearly communicate findings and capital planning recommendations, skilled field photography to document existing conditions, and a solid command of cost estimating principles to produce reliable budget projections that stakeholders can confidently act upon. Within Construction Consulting Services, a Senior Project Manager will assist our clients in identifying construction risks and keep them informed as to a project’s construction status. This is an exciting position. No other position will expose you to all of the intricacies and stakeholders of the real estate development and delivery process. You will work on various commercial projects such as residential, office, hospitality, retail, and distribution / warehousing.
