About The Role
As a Site Architectural Manager at Z Modular, a division of Zekelman Industries, you will play a key role in connecting early land planning, detailed design, and field execution for multifamily residential projects. This role requires strong technical judgment, coordination excellence, and a builder’s mindset to ensure work aligns with approved drawings, specifications, and design intent. The position offers the opportunity to influence project feasibility, accelerate permitting, safeguard design quality during construction, and drive schedule and cost outcomes. You will collaborate with Architecture, Engineering (AOR/EOR), Pre-Construction, Development, Operations, and Site Construction teams, ensuring seamless handoffs from concept through close-out. This is a hybrid role based in Austin, TX or Phoenix, AZ with regular travel (~40%) between project locations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, anticipates field issues before they arise, communicates crisply across stakeholders, and enjoys translating design into high-performing buildings. What You’ll Do
Develop site plan studies to support land acquisition decisions and third-party sales opportunities. Coordinate entitlement and permitting by interfacing with jurisdictional authorities and design consultants to maintain timelines. Review PAD documents and local ordinances to confirm site compliance and development feasibility. Maintain and track AOR/EOR agreements, amendments, and deliverables to ensure contractual alignment. Lead OAC coordination for multiple projects, setting agendas, documenting decisions, and driving action items. Establish page-turn workflows with design consultants prior to construction to surface gaps and conflicts. Review architectural, structural, and MEP drawings for constructability and modular integration. Oversee construction administration across concurrent projects, aligning responses with design intent. Coordinate foundation scanning and verification to confirm field conditions align with modular unit interfaces. Review submittals, shop drawings, and samples for conformance with contract documents and codes. Conduct regular site visits to verify installation quality, with emphasis on MEP coordination, envelope details, life-safety systems, and unit layouts. Support inspections, code compliance reviews, punchlist close-out, and turnover documentation. Manage design milestones, deliverables, and approvals to meet project schedules and budgets. Lead value-engineering analyses to balance performance, cost, and constructability. Build and mentor the architectural site support team as project volume grows. Who You Are
