Job Description

Construction Manager – Tampa Bay

About the Role

Bullpen, on behalf of our client, is seeking an experienced Construction Manager to lead both ground-up developments and renovation projects across a growing commercial portfolio. The role focuses heavily on sitework-driven, grocery-anchored developments, while also managing ongoing tenant improvements and capital projects for owned and operated assets.

This is an opportunity for a hands-on “doer” who thrives in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment and can bring process and structure to a busy development organization. You’ll work closely with ownership and senior leadership to shape construction operations and implement best practices for future growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage all phases of construction projects — from predevelopment through closeout — across both ground-up and renovation work.
• Lead sitework-heavy development projects, coordinating with architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure design intent, cost control, and timely delivery.
• Oversee tenant improvement (TI) and capital renovation projects, typically ranging from $15K–$100K in scope.
• Prepare and manage budgets, schedules, and cost estimates in alignment with lease and investment parameters.
• Conduct pre-lease budgeting and quoting for new tenants in partnership with leasing and property management.
• Review drawings and specifications; identify constructability and value-engineering opportunities.
• Use Yardi Construction Manager (or similar software) to track budgets, costs, and milestones.
• Travel regularly between projects in the Northeast and Florida (approximately every other week).

Qualifications

• 7+ years of construction management experience, ideally in commercial retail or grocery-anchored development.
• Strong understanding of sitework, budgeting, and predevelopment planning.
• Proficiency in Excel and Yardi Construction Manager (or comparable systems).
• Skilled in reading and interpreting architectural and engineering plans.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and maintain detail orientation in a fast-moving environment.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with an owner’s mentality and a willingness to roll up sleeves.

What’s Offered

• A chance to shape the construction department and implement process improvements.
• Strong development pipeline with sustained work and clear growth opportunities.
• Close collaboration with experienced senior leadership and exposure to all facets of development and ownership.
