Our culture is built on meritocracy—where attitude and initiative are as valued as technical ability. We celebrate creative thinking, fresh perspectives, and collaboration, recognizing that innovation often comes from trying new approaches and learning from every outcome.

We are seeking a Project Manager to join our growing team, supporting a global financial client’s Small Works program across the Northeast and Midwest regions. This position blends project delivery, client relationship management, and on-site coordination, ensuring that projects are executed efficiently, accurately, and in alignment with client objectives.

The ideal candidate is a proactive problem solver with exceptional communication and organizational skills, who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. They will balance multiple priorities while maintaining a “speed-to-market” mindset and upholding Savills’ commitment to quality, accountability, and creativity.

• Support senior team members with project-related communications and client coordination.
• Anticipate challenges and develop real-time solutions to maintain project momentum.
• Coordinate programming activities with internal and external resources, including staff, consultants, and contractors.
• Provide regular project updates, documentation, and reports for client stakeholders.
• Coordinate on-site activities and ensure alignment between local teams, vendors, and client standards.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts through lessons learned and best-practice sharing.
• Identify and mitigate project risks proactively.

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field.

(Note: This position is not suited for candidates with an IT-focused background.)

• 5–7 years of experience managing construction, renovation, or design-build projects up to $500K
• Strong understanding of design and construction methodologies, sequencing, and documentation.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with a focus on quality and timeliness.
• Experience with client-specific project management systems (e.g., PMWeb)
• Experience with developing Work Authorizations under existing Master Service Agreements (MSAs)
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Project)
• The position requires on-site presence at the client’s Wilmington, Delaware location up to five days a week. You must have a car for this commute. Occasional travel—about 25% of the time—to other project sites across the East Coast and Midwest may also be required.
