About The Position
Brookwood Group has been protecting owner interests in construction since 1989. Our lineage traces back to George T. Heery: one of the original developers of the Construction Project Management profession and creator of the Bridging delivery method. We've managed over $10 billion in construction programs across healthcare, education, government, and commercial sectors. We are seeking experienced owner's representatives and program managers with expertise in colleges, universities, and research institutions who are interested in working on a flexible, contract basis.

We welcome candidates from any U.S. location who are willing to travel to project sites as assignments require. This role offers the flexibility to take on specific projects or provide part-time support while leveraging Brookwood's resources, reputation, and technology platform. If you have deep experience in colleges, universities, and research institutions and want to continue serving clients on your terms, this may be the right fit.
