Construction Project Manager

Construction Project Manager

“New York Pilates is about community and creating a space where people feel at home, leave their day behind and get into their bodies” - Heather Andersen, Founder & Owner

We Want You!

New York Pilates is seeking a hands-on, experienced Construction Project Manager to lead the buildout of our next generation of design-forward studio spaces. This is a boots-on-the-ground, NYC-based role for someone who knows the ins and outs of city construction, thrives in the field, and takes pride in delivering exceptional, high-end spaces on time and on budget.

In this role, you’ll manage all aspects of construction and renovation across multiple locations — collaborating with architects, designers, and contractors to bring our brand vision to life. You’ll ensure every detail meets the aesthetic and operational standards that define New York Pilates.

This is a full-time position based in New York City and reports to NYP Founders. 

The Role

• Own the job site: Lead day-to-day construction operations for NYC studio projects (and occasionally out-of-state), overseeing all phases from pre-construction through closeout to ensure progress, safety, quality, and compliance with brand standards and local building codes.
• Vendor & Contractor Oversight: Manage and coordinate general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and expediters; conduct site meetings, review change orders/RFIs/progress reports, and proactively resolve issues to keep projects on track.
• Schedule Management: Maintain and track project budgets and schedules, identifying potential overruns or delays early and communicating solutions to leadership to keep projects within scope and budget.
• Permitting & Compliance: Work with expediters, architects, and local authorities to ensure all permits, inspections, and codes are met.
• Cost Management: Track budgets and change orders, flag overruns, and work to maintain project profitability.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner cross-functionally with internal teams — including Design, Brand, Operations, and Executive Leadership — to translate creative direction into actionable construction execution.
• Quality Control: Ensure quality control and brand consistency across all sites by managing punch lists, walk-throughs, and final inspections to deliver polished, design-forward spaces that embody the New York Pilates standard.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in construction project management, ideally in retail, hospitality, fitness, or lifestyle environments.
• Strong familiarity with NYC construction codes, DOB processes, and local vendors.
• Proven track record managing high-end commercial buildouts from start to finish.
• Strong field presence — you’re proactive, organized, and comfortable solving problems on-site.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and leadership skills.
• Experience with design-driven brands or architecturally significant spaces is a major plus.
• Must be NYC-based and able to travel daily to multiple job sites.
