Vermilion Development is looking for someone who loves the early stages of a project — digging into due diligence, shaping the vision, navigating entitlements, and working closely with design partners. As our Development Manager – Preconstruction, you’ll help set our multi‑family and senior housing projects up for success before construction even starts.

A little about what you’ll do:

Manage schedules, budgets, consultants, and design teams;

Review due diligence materials;

Work with municipalities;

Guide projects through zoning and entitlements;

Keep everything coordinated and moving forward.

A little about you: You’ve got 2+ years of experience in real estate development, architecture, engineering, or construction. You communicate well, solve problems creatively, and enjoy collaborating with a team. You’re comfortable with Excel and Project, and tools like Bluebeam or GIS are a bonus. And you’re ready to work on‑site in Downtown Chicago.
