We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong.  Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.   

What this job involves:

As a Senior Project Manager for our Healthcare team, you will serve as a dedicated Owner's Representative on ambulatory and outpatient care projects throughout New York City, guiding complex build-outs from concept to completion. This position requires a unique blend of deep technical expertise and sophisticated client-facing skills to champion our clients' interests in New York City's dense urban healthcare landscape.

At JLL, we are collectively shaping a brighter way for our clients, and in this role, you will be their trusted advocate—ensuring outpatient facilities are delivered on schedule, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance. You will act as the central point of communication, translating intricate technical details into clear, strategic actions for all project stakeholders, while navigating the specific logistical and code challenges of working in occupied, NYC buildings.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Serve as the owner's primary advocate and liaison, fostering collaboration between the client, design teams, contractors, landlords/building management, and all project stakeholders across multiple  NYC sites.
• Manage overall project performance, including scope, schedule, and budget, for ambulatory surgery centers, imaging suites, specialty clinics, and other outpatient facility build-outs.
• Review design documentation, technical submittals, and shop drawings to confirm compliance with ambulatory care facility requirements, DOH Article 28 licensure standards (If needed), and project specifications.
• Monitor construction progress on-site across active NYC locations, verifying that installations meet quality standards and design intent, often within occupied or adjacent clinical space.
• Coordinate closely with landlords, building management, and NYC DOB/FDNY officials on permitting, logistics, and base-building system tie-ins unique to NYC commercial and medical office buildings.
• Proactively identify, track, and mitigate project risks—including tight site access, limited working hours, and after-hours construction constraints common to NYC ambulatory projects—to prevent delays and budget overruns.
• Lead project meetings, delivering clear and concise progress reports to executive stakeholders, clinical staff, and physician groups.
• Negotiate with contractors and vendors to protect the owner's interests and achieve favorable outcomes.

Required qualifications:

• Substantial experience managing ambulatory/outpatient healthcare facility projects (e.g., ASCs, medical office build-outs, imaging centers, specialty clinics), preferably from an owner's representative or similar consultative perspective.
• Experience delivering projects within New York City, including familiarity with NYC DOB and FDNY permitting and inspection processes.
• Proven success in a client-facing role, with the ability to lead meetings, present to stakeholders, and build strong professional relationships with healthcare clients and physician practices.
• Excellent communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to translate complex technical issues into actionable recommendations for non-technical audiences.
• A thorough understanding of the unique operational requirements of ambulatory healthcare environments, including infection control, critical systems redundancy, and NYS DOH regulatory standards.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously across different NYC locations while maintaining a keen focus on quality and client satisfaction.

Preferred qualifications:

• A bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related discipline.
• Direct experience with phased build-outs or renovations in occupied medical office buildings or commercial high-rises.
• Professional certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE), Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Construction Manager (CCM), or LEED credentials.
• In-depth familiarity with NYS DOH Article 28 requirements, The Joint Commission (or AAAHC/AAAASF for ASCs) standards, FGI Guidelines, NFPA codes, and NYC Building Code/Energy Code requirements.
