We are on a mission to build a multi-disciplinary team of exceptional professionals – including architects, engineers and construction managers – to help our clients execute complex real estate projects. We specialize in assisting mission-oriented organizations and property owners to successfully plan and effectively build space that is highly-functional and economical. 

We believe that real estate is not just in the pro forma but exists as a place and thing – therefore, having a passion for design and construction is essential to succeed at our firm. We are seeking a Project Associate with an excellent track record of accomplishment, an exceptional work ethic and a desire to learn and grow. The ideal candidate is very organized and is self-motivated to produce very high-quality work and is driven to take on “stretch” assignments. Attention to detail is a must have. 

Required Education and Experience 

This position requires a bachelor’s degree (preferably in architecture, engineering, construction management or other real estate related field but not required) and at least one year of professional work experience . Previous work experience should demonstrate your ability to successfully manage multiple projects simultaneously. The position requires strong written and verbal communication skills and proficiency in MS Office (Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and, particularly, Excel). Proficiency in Adobe Create Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop) is a big plus.

We welcome candidates from the design and construction industries looking to broaden their real estate expertise. You will be asked to wear many hats and be given an opportunity to gain exposure to multiple aspects of real estate.   

Summary of Responsibilities

The Project Associate will work closely with the firm’s Principal and Project Managers on a diverse portfolio of real estate projects and transactions in New York City.
