Site Lead - Project Management ConsultantAbout the RoleThis is a full-time, in-person position; on-site, hybrid, or work-from-home arrangements are not available. The role requires a high degree of flexibility, with frequent off-hours and weekend work depending on project schedules, and up to 50% travel between client sites.
As the Site Lead, you will provide leadership and oversight for CBRE's Project Management team supporting a prestigious RTX account. In addition to delivering end-to-end project management services, you will directly manage a team of 2-3 Project Managers and serve as the primary CBRE project management representative across both locations.
The first site includes four buildings, one of which houses the RTX Senior Leadership Team. Projects at this location are highly visible, fast-paced, and often operate under demanding schedules requiring exceptional responsiveness and execution.
The second site includes a Collins Aerospace manufacturing and testing facility where projects support critical operational, production, and facility objectives.
As a CBRE Project Management Consultant and Site Lead, you will partner directly with senior client leadership, facilities teams, engineers, manufacturing stakeholders, and construction partners to successfully deliver projects that support strategic business goals. Strong leadership, communication, and relationship-management skills are essential, as you must be comfortable engaging with executive leaders one moment and field construction teams the next.
This position is part of CBRE's Project Management function and is responsible for leading teams and managing projects from initiation through completion while ensuring scope, schedule, budget, safety, and quality objectives are achieved.
If you thrive in complex environments, enjoy bringing structure to ambiguity, and are motivated by high visibility and immediate impact, this role offers a unique opportunity to lead people, drive results, and influence critical business outcomes.
