  • Ensure all work meets code requirements, environmental regulations, and internal QC standards
  • Assist in reviewing Change Orders and Pay Applications, ensuring alignment with contract terms
  • Assist with resolving on-site issues, including technical questions, design discrepancies, and coordination challenges
  • Support communication with lenders, consultants, and internal stakeholders
  • Prepare project documentation, including meeting minutes and ad-hoc reports
  • Support value-engineering initiatives to optimize cost, schedule, and design without compromising quality
  • Provide general administrative and operational support to the Project Team

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (U.S. accredited program preferred – EIT or PE license)
  • Minimum 3-5+ years of relevant experience in real estate development or construction management
  • Strong understanding of site development, grading, drainage, utilities, construction, permitting, and project coordination

  • Excellent communication skills for working with contractors, vendors, consultants, city officials, and internal teams
  • Familiarity with budgeting, scheduling, and cost control processes
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail

Language Requirements

  • Fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese (required)
  • Cantonese is a plus (not required)

 

What We’re Looking For

  • An initiative-taking, hands-on team player who can support multiple tasks efficiently
  • Strong communication and coordination skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment
  • Willingness to grow into a Project Manager role over time
