Client Project Manager – New York City – $175,000–$250,000

Location: New York, NY (Manhattan; hybrid — 4 days in-office / 1 day WFM)

Compensation: $175,000 – $250,000, based on experience

The Opportunity

HeatherDaniel International (HDi), a construction recruitment specialist, has been retained by a premier New York City cost consultancy to secure three elite Client Project Managers. This is a high-stakes expansion for a firm known for precision and excellence in the construction sector. We are looking for leaders, not just managers.

You will lead high-profile architecture, engineering and construction (A/E/C) projects for an industry-leading consultancy, managing the full project life-cycle with absolute technical accuracy. The seat is based in New York City, with a hybrid pattern of four days in the office and one day working from home. You must be based in, or able to commute to, Manhattan.

If you already hold DBIA certification and have spent a decade or more delivering A/E/C projects, this is a rare chance to step into a leadership seat on a growing consultancy team — not a process role on a corporate treadmill.

Key Responsibilities

• Project leadership: Lead high-profile A/E/C projects from a client-side project management seat, taking ownership rather than simply administering the programme.
• Full life-cycle delivery: Manage the complete project life-cycle with absolute technical accuracy, from planning through delivery.
• Hybrid Manhattan base: Work four days in the office and one day from home, commuting to Manhattan as required.

Requirements

• Credential: DBIA certification is required. If you do not hold this, please do not apply for this specific role.
• Experience: 10+ years in architecture, engineering and construction project delivery.
• Location: Must be based in or able to commute to Manhattan.
• Mindset: Ability to manage the full project life-cycle with absolute technical accuracy. We are looking for leaders, not just managers.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $175,000 – $250,000, based on experience.
• Working pattern: New York City hybrid — 4 days in-office / 1 day WFM.

Why candidates choose HDi

We start with you, not with a requisition to fill. The people we place today are often the clients who hire us tomorrow. That only works if we treat the first conversation with care.

We know what a Quantity Surveyor is. We work in verticals — cost, project advisory, claims and dispute, built-environment leadership, and data center and mission-critical programmes — not as a generalist shop that learns your job from a Wikipedia page.

We are honest about salary and fit, even when the answer is no. We do not mailshot your curriculum vitae. We do not share it without your consent. That promise is written in full on our Candidate Charter.

We stay with you from the first call through interview, offer, resignation and start.

A major statewide consultancy in the United States, headquartered in New York, has hired us on a retainer.

We are working with a major international consultancy and have placed nearly forty people with them this year.

Our Candidate Charter: You are a person, not a placement. We are honest on salary and fit. Your curriculum vitae is never shared without your consent. We reply, even when there is no update. We stay with you through the whole move.
