Junior Project Manager – Construction & Fit-Out
Location: New York, NY
Salary: $120,000–$130,000

We’re working with a growing global restaurant brand that’s looking for a Junior Project Manager to help turn new restaurant locations from plans on paper into places people can actually walk into, eat in and enjoy.
You’ll get involved in a bit of everything, working with designers and contractors, keeping timelines moving, coordinating equipment and suppliers, and getting out on-site to see the projects come together.
If you’re looking to build your career in restaurant development, enjoy being hands-on and want to learn from people who know the industry inside and out, this could be a really fun opportunity.

- Get involved in site meetings, walk-throughs and progress checks
- Review plans and drawings and make sure the important details don’t get missed
- Keep track of budgets, invoices, changes and all the little pieces that keep a project running smoothly
- Help with final inspections, punch lists and getting the restaurant ready for opening
- Spot potential issues early and jump in to help get things sorted
About You
- Background in construction, project coordination, development or a related field
- A degree in construction, engineering, architecture, facilities or a related field is a plus
- You can make sense of plans, drawings and project documents
- Naturally organized and good at keeping lots of moving pieces under control
- A confident communicator who is happy to chase an update when something is holding things up
- Curious, practical and keen to learn
- You don’t mind getting out of the office and getting stuck in on-site
