Architectural & Construction Project Manager (Future Leadership Track)

Architectural & Construction Project Manager (Future Leadership Track)
DiCicco Development, Inc. — Pittsburgh, PA

About Us
DiCicco Development, Inc. is a premier, fully integrated commercial real estate development and ownership firm specializing in Class A office buildings in Pittsburgh. We own and operate a portfolio of high-quality properties and are known for innovative design, rigorous construction standards, and exceptional tenant experiences. With a lean, highly skilled internal team, we make decisions quickly and value impact, accountability, and craftsmanship.

The Opportunity
We are seeking a motivated Architectural & Construction Project Manager to work directly with our in-house Registered Architect / Director of Architecture & Construction. This role is unique in the industry — combining architectural planning with hands-on construction management and owner-side decision-making.

This position is intentionally designed as a future leadership opportunity, with a clear pathway for growth and succession into a senior role over time.

Candidates may be strongest in either:

• architectural design with some construction exposure, or
• construction project management with some drafting / design capabilities

We value capability, judgment, and leadership potential above formal credentials alone.

What You'll Do

• Lead and support design and execution of commercial office interior projects and capital improvements
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring on-time, on-budget, high-quality delivery
• Oversee construction activities, site personnel, contractors, and subcontractors
• Prepare, revise, and evaluate architectural drawings and as-built documentation
• Serve as an active liaison among tenants, consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders
• Work closely with facilities management to maintain and enhance existing Class A buildings
• Conduct field verification, code compliance review, and documentation accuracy
• Utilize AutoCAD and project management tools to drive planning and execution
• Solve problems proactively, balancing design intent, cost efficiency, and constructability
• Gain increasing responsibility toward eventual leadership of architecture & construction functions

Who You Are

• Bachelor's or Master's in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years of relevant experience in commercial architecture or construction management
• Registered Architect designation is a plus, but not required
• Proficient in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office; Microsoft Project experience preferred
• Working familiarity with project admin platforms (Procore, Newforma, or similar) is a plus
• Strong communicator with the ability to lead contractors and coordinate stakeholders
• Exceptional problem-solver with a practical, execution-oriented mindset
• Organized, accountable, and comfortable owning end-to-end project execution
• Eager to grow into a leadership role and help shape the strategic future of our portfolio

Why This Role Is Rare and Valuable
Unlike working for an architecture firm or construction contractor —
at DiCicco Development you are the owner's representative, not a vendor.

This means:

• faster decision cycles
• more authority over outcomes
• direct influence on design, budget, and execution
• tangible impact on buildings that remain in our long-term care
• career advancement within a stable ownership structure

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation aligned with experience
• Comprehensive health, vision, and dental benefits
• 401(k) with employer contributions
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Professional development and continuing education support
• Close-knit team with direct access to decision-makers
• A career path toward senior leadership within the organization

How to Apply
If you're driven, detail-oriented, collaborative, and excited to influence the future of Pittsburgh's Class A office landscapes — we'd love to hear from you. Please submit your resume and a brief cover note or portfolio samples reflecting applicable experience.

Pay: $70, $110,000.00 per year

• 401(k) matching
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Dental insurance
