About Our Client

This Owner's Representative firm has been in business for 20 years and has grown rapidly, with headquarters in St. Louis, MO. Unlike a General Contractor, they represent national brands like McDonald's and Lululemon, overseeing retail, restaurant, and light commercial projects.
Their tight-knit team of project managers and coordinators ensures smooth project execution while maintaining strong client relationships. With a nationwide reach, they rely on a trusted network of GCs and vendors. The firm is selective in hiring, emphasizing client-facing skills, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to handle full project lifecycles.

They maintain a collaborative culture, offering remote flexibility, and leadership visibility.

Job Description
  • Oversee the full project lifecycle, including scheduling, budgeting, and execution
  • Act as the primary client-facing representative, maintaining strong relationships with key brands
  • Manage multiple retail and restaurant construction projects nationwide
  • Coordinate with general contractors, vendors, and internal teams to ensure project success
  • Lead project bidding, contract negotiations, and cost management
  • Conduct regular client meetings, providing updates on project progress and addressing concerns
  • Travel as needed to oversee project sites and meet with stakeholders
  • Utilize Smartsheet and Procore for project tracking and documentation (training available)
