Who we are:

Vorea Construction is a New York–based Construction Manager delivering high-quality multifamily and mixed-use developments throughout the region. As the construction arm of our platform, Vorea oversees projects from preconstruction through final completion, managing schedule, cost, quality, and field execution.

Vorea operates as part of The Domain Companies, our parent company and fully integrated real estate development firm. Domain leads the acquisition, capitalization, development, and long-term ownership of the projects we build.

As a vertically integrated platform, our teams are involved in every phase of the real estate lifecycle — from site acquisition and underwriting, through design, preconstruction, and construction, all the way to lease-up, operations, and long-term asset management. This structure provides interns with unique exposure to the full development process, not just a single phase.

What we’re looking for:

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager (SPM) as a key member of the VOREA leadership team, responsible for directing all project management functions across one or more active projects.

The SPM mentors and manages Project Manager(s), Assistant Project Manager(s), Project Accountant(s), Project Administrator(s), and any other project support staff, ensuring that all project operations reflect VOREA’s standards of excellence and The VOREA Way. As the senior management authority for assigned projects, the SPM takes full ownership of project outcomes—financial, operational, and relational accountability rests squarely on this role. In addition to leading project execution, the SPM is directly responsible for the performance, growth, and work quality of the project management staff within their team. The SPM operates as a peer to the Senior Superintendent, jointly responsible for project performance across safety, quality, schedule, and financial results.
