Our communities are steps to UF, Gainesville’s Midtown and Innovation District, and UF Health (Shands) facilities.

Summary:

Trimark Properties seeks an experienced Project Manager to join our company. Trimark Properties delivers construction projects through a number of vehicles, including a turn-key approach wherein we contract with a general contractor and/or a construction manager to deliver a project.  Depending on the project size/scope, we also act as the prime contractor, contracting services with subcontractors and suppliers directly. 

In addition, every project begins with a vision set by the ownership group of Trimark Properties.  That vision is then translated into a design and detailed construction documents from which the vision can become a reality.

We are seeking a hard-working, team-oriented individual who can provide oversight to design professionals during the planning/design phase, and then provide oversight during construction either as an Owner’s Representative, overseeing the general contractor/ construction manager, or as Project Manager, managing subcontractors and suppliers, including crafting scopes of work, scheduling, project accounting, RFIs, submittals, etc.

  • Proactively manage all project related accounting, including change orders. This will either entail reviewing general contractor / construction manager applications for payments and change order proposals, or processing subcontractor pay applications and thoroughly evaluating / vetting subcontractor change order proposals.
