Building Envelope Consultant- Senior Project Manager

A highly respected and rapidly growing engineering consultancy specializing in building envelope and structural restoration is seeking a seasoned Building Envelope Consultant to join its team in a senior project management capacity. This is a unique opportunity to take on a leadership role within one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking firms in the industry.

About the Company

This firm is a recognized leader in the building envelope and structural restoration space, with a strong presence across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Known for its technical excellence, collaborative culture, and entrepreneurial spirit, the company offers a full suite of architectural and engineering services across façade restoration, parking structure rehabilitation, roofing and waterproofing, and capital planning.

With a robust pipeline of Local Law 11 (FISP) and Local Law 126 projects, the firm is positioned for continued growth and is actively investing in the next generation of leadership. This is the perfect environment for professionals who want to take ownership of their work, lead teams, and grow into firm-wide leadership roles.

Role Overview

As a Building Envelope Consultant, you will manage a portfolio of 5-15 active façade or parking restoration projects at any given time. You'll serve as the primary point of contact for clients, oversee field investigations and construction administration, and lead internal teams through all phases of project delivery. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to take the next step in their career.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage multiple façade restoration (LL11) and parking garage rehabilitation (LL126) projects simultaneously

  • Conduct site assessments, forensic investigations, and condition surveys of building envelope systems

  • Develop repair scopes, technical specifications, and construction documents

  • Oversee bidding, contractor selection, and construction administration

  • Coordinate with clients, contractors, and internal teams to ensure timely and high-quality project delivery

  • Mentor junior staff and contribute to team development

  • Ensure compliance with NYC DOB regulations, FISP/LL11, LL126, and other applicable codes

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Architecture, Civil or Structural Engineering, or a related field

  • Professional licensure required: PE (Professional Engineer) or RA (Registered Architect)

  • Minimum 7 years of experience managing façade restoration and/or parking structure rehabilitation projects

  • Deep understanding of NYC Local Laws 11 and 126, including inspection and filing requirements

  • Strong technical knowledge of building envelope systems, waterproofing, and structural repair methods

  • Excellent communication, leadership, and client management skills

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and project management tools

Preferred Attributes

  • Aspiration to obtain QEWI (Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector) or QPSI (Qualified Parking Structure Inspector) certification

  • Experience managing teams and mentoring junior professionals

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in long-term leadership and firm growth

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work with a highly respected senior leadership team that values mentorship and transparency

  • Real opportunity to advance into a leadership role, with potential for future profit-sharing based on team and office performance

  • Be part of a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that rewards initiative and innovation
