The Role 

You'll sit at the intersection of acquisitions and development — assisting with the evaluation of new opportunities and leading projects from initial underwriting and entitlement through construction and delivery.  

What You'll Own: 

• Lead Industrial development projects from initial site evaluation and due diligence through entitlement, design coordination, construction, and delivery 
• Manage third-party/vendor partnerships, including civil engineers, environmental engineers, land planners, surveyors, and traffic consultants 
• Drive accountability, scope adherence, and budget control across all consultants 
• Reviewing and interpreting civil, environmental, and geotechnical reports to assess project feasibility and risk 
• Direct permitting and entitlement processes with municipalities 
• Review and interpret civil, environmental, traffic, and geotechnical reports to assess feasibility and risk 
• Oversee zoning analysis and entitlement strategy 
• Manage project schedules, development budgets, and cash flow forecasting 
• Coordinate with internal construction teams to ensure alignment during preconstruction and execution 
• Participate in value engineering and scope optimization 
• Prepare investment summaries and development updates for internal leadership 
• Acquisitions support — site evaluation, underwriting, and deal structuring 

What We're Looking For 

• 5+ years of experience in real estate development, construction management, or related field 
• Experience with industrial, commercial, or land development is strongly preferred 
• Demonstrated experience leading entitlements and municipal approval processes 
• Strong financial modeling skills and advanced Excel proficiency 
• Experience overseeing third-party consultants and driving accountability 
• Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment 
• Ability to read and interpret construction and civil engineering documents 
• Experience managing civil engineers, environmental consultants, surveyors, and other third-party professionals 
• A degree in Civil Engineering is a plus, but not required — we’re open to Real Estate, Construction Management, Architecture, Finance, or related fields 

Why The Missner Group 

• Competitive compensation + annual performance and company-wide bonus  
• Full health benefits — medical, dental, vision, and disability 
• 401(k) Employer match  
• Generous PTO and paid holiday schedule  
• 3 PM close every Friday + Summer Friday half-days  
•  Full-cycle exposure across active industrial developments  
• Direct access to senior leadership
