Construction Project Manager (Develop-Build)

About LG Group

LG Group is a vertically integrated real estate development, construction, and property management company specializing in hospitality, luxury commercial, adaptive re-use, tenant improvements, multifamily, mixed-use, and high-rise residential projects. Through our Develop-Build team, we manage projects from concept through completion, giving team members exposure to both development and construction throughout the project lifecycle on multifamily, mixed-use, and high rise projects.

Position Overview

LG Group is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of multifamily, mixed-use, and high-rise residential projects from preconstruction through closeout.

The Project Manager serves as the primary leader responsible for project performance, driving budget, schedule, quality, and team success while helping deliver some of Chicago's most impactful residential and high-rise developments.

This is an opportunity to join a growing Develop-Build platform, lead complex projects, mentor developing project team members, and play a key role in shaping the future of LG Group's construction operations.
