The Project Manager is responsible for overseeing all aspects of architectural projects, with an emphasis on Sports Architecture across K-12 athletics, collegiate facilities, and professional sports venues. The Project Manager oversees the Project Architect to ensure the highest quality construction documents and coordinates all phases of project delivery, including Pre-Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding, and Construction Administration. This position reports to the Client Executive/Principal Architect and is charged with ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget, in alignment with PBK’s quality and client service standards.

 

Your Impact:

• Supervise and manage Project Architect and the project team to ensure high quality construction documents.

• Ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.

• Organize and direct the architectural and/or engineering teams to execute the work in an orderly, timely, and coordinated manner.

• Direct, organize and mentor junior staff with responsibility oversight of their assignments.

• Responsible for maintaining positive client relationships throughout project. Keep client apprised of project progress on regular basis.

• Provide technical advice to the project team.

• Support Client Executive and/or Principal Architect in supervision and delegation of work.

• Lead Construction administration jobsite meetings with contractors and owners.

• Sports Architecture emphasis: Coordinate specialized programming and stakeholder input typical to athletic facilities (e.g., coaches, athletic directors, operations, donors), and manage project requirements tied to performance, durability, safety, and event-day operations across K-12, collegiate, and professional levels.

Here's What You'll Need:

• Demonstrated experience managing architectural projects through design and construction administration, including schedule/budget responsibility.

• Experience leading and coordinating multi-disciplinary teams and overseeing production of construction documents.

• Strong working knowledge of project delivery processes and coordination with consultants, contractors, and owners.

• Ability to communicate clearly with clients and project stakeholders and maintain strong working relationships.

• Proven leadership skills, including mentoring and delegating effectively to drive results.

• Strong technical acumen with the ability to guide teams through design/coordination challenges.

• Ability to lead and document construction administration meetings and manage follow-through on action items.

Here's How You'll Stand Out:

• Project experience in Sports Architecture—athletic facilities for K-12, collegiate, or professional organizations (arenas, stadiums, fieldhouses, training centers, competition gyms, natatoriums, etc.).

• Familiarity with sports-specific planning considerations such as sightlines, egress/crowd flow, back-of-house operations, athlete performance spaces, event-day logistics, durability, and maintenance.

• Experience navigating complex stakeholder environments (coaches, athletic directors, boosters/donors, facility operations, governing bodies).

• Strong coordination skills on technically complex projects with multiple systems (structural, MEP, lighting, acoustics, AV/scoreboards/ribbon boards).

• Comfort leading projects with fast-track schedules, phased construction, or active-campus/active-venue constraints.

• A track record of producing clear, coordinated deliverables and driving accountability across internal teams and external partners.
