We're hiring a Real Estate Construction Manager to lead the technical delivery of these projects from pre-construction through closeout and to serve as our primary technical counterpart to general contractors, design teams, and specialty vendors.</p> <p>This is a hands-on construction leadership role, not a design role. You will own how our projects get built: delivery method and contracting strategy, GC selection and oversight, MEP and specialty-systems coordination, cost and schedule control, and commissioning.&nbsp; Executing the design direction is set by the Global Head of Real Estate &amp; Workplace and our architects. You will also lead and develop a team of project managers delivering across the global portfolio.
