Overview

Fortiva is partnering with a leading construction and consultancy firm to appoint a Director of Project Management to lead the delivery of ground-up construction projects across Miami, South Florida and across the Carribean.

This role will oversee complex, fast-paced developments from early-stage planning through close-out, working closely with owners, developers, design teams, contractors, and key stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage multiple ground-up construction projects, ensuring successful delivery against schedule, budget, and quality targets.
Drive end-to-end project delivery across preconstruction, design coordination, procurement, permitting, construction, commissioning, and handover.
Establish and maintain project governance, controls, and reporting, including schedule management, cost control, risk management, and change control.
Coordinate and influence internal and external stakeholders including owners, developers, architects, engineers, consultants, general contractors, and authorities having jurisdiction.
Lead project teams and support the development of a high-performing delivery culture across multiple workstreams.
Identify, manage, and mitigate risks relating to safety, cost, schedule, procurement, supply chain, utilities coordination, and site constraints.
Ensure adherence to contractual requirements, local building codes, and best practice delivery standards.
Support commercial outcomes including procurement strategy, contract administration, claims avoidance, and dispute resolution when required.
Champion quality assurance and long-term asset performance, ensuring robust close-out documentation and smooth project handover.

Requirements

Proven experience delivering ground-up construction projects (commercial, residential, mixed-use, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, or similar).
Strong understanding of full lifecycle construction delivery, including preconstruction and permitting through to completion.
Excellent leadership and stakeholder management skills with the ability to operate credibly across owners, contractors, consultants, and local authorities.
Strong commercial and contractual acumen, including familiarity with change management and cost controls.
Demonstrable ability to lead teams, manage multiple priorities, and deliver in a high-accountability environment.
PMP (or equivalent) preferred (but not essential if experience is strong).
