We are defined by an unwavering commitment to quality, craft, and guest experience — values that extend to every project we take on.This is a newly created position — part of a deliberate effort to formalize and strengthen how By Landmark manages its construction program as the company grows and enters a new phase of expansion. The two Project Manager roles being created — this in-house operations position and a parallel role focused on third-party construction oversight — are designed to work in concert, with shared accountability to the Chief Construction Officer and Director of Development, and a common standard of excellence across all project delivery.We are seeking an experienced and driven Project Manager to join the By Landmark family and lead our in-house operations. This individual will own end-to-end project execution — from pre-construction planning through delivery and Certificate of Occupancy — ensuring every project meets design intent, brand standards, and operational timelines. As the primary point of accountability across all active projects — capital expenditure programs, asset remodels, expansions, and renovations — this person will work hand-in-hand with our seasoned craftsmen and report directly to the Principal.

The role is based at our Plainfield, NJ headquarters with approximately 50% of time spent in the field.The In-House Operations Project Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering all construction and renovation projects executed by By Landmark's in-house trades team.
