Lead due diligence, entitlements, design, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, construction oversight, and turnover to operations. Manage consultants and GC partners. Deliver projects on time and on budget while protecting brand standards and guest flow.

Education And Experience

B A or B S in construction management, civil engineering, architecture, real estate, or related field preferred.

Proficiency with Procore or similar, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project or Primavera, and Excel.

Nice to have: Restaurant experience and health department approvals. Drive‑thru, grease waste, and kitchen MEP knowledge. PMP or CMIT a plus. Experience with Placer AI or Monday.com is helpful.

Essential Duties And Responsibilities

Drive pipeline from site control through opening. Publish a clear plan for scope, budget, schedule, risks, and owners.

Lead due diligence. Surveys, geotech, environmental, title, utilities, traffic, access, code, and easements. Document constraints and mitigation with cost and time impact.

Own entitlements and approvals. Map AHJs, plan the path, submit clean packages, track holding costs, and secure permits on or ahead of plan.

Manage design. Hire and direct architect, civil, MEP, and specialty consultants. Review for cost, constructability, brand standards, and operations flow.

Run preconstruction and procurement. Prepare RFPs, level bids, recommend GC award, and negotiate GMP or lump sum. Validate estimates and value engineering without hurting guest experience.

Partner cross‑functional. Work with Operations, Finance, Real Estate, Legal, and Brand on sequencing, budgets, and opening readiness.

Report to executives. Short visual updates with variance to plan, risks, decisions needed, and next steps.

Build and maintain a vendor bench. Competitive alternates for GC, civil, MEP, and key trades.
