Senior Project Manager - CM/Land Development

Do you love turning chaos into clarity? Are you the type of person who enjoys problem-solving, lives for well-structured Excel sheets, and gets genuine joy from keeping projects (and people) on track?

ECM Management is looking for a Senior Project Manager who can independently lead complex projects and command project meetings with both strength and respect.

At ECM, we’re not just managing industrial land development projects—we’re simplifying one of the most complex processes in real estate. From feasibility to entitlements and construction, we take ownership of every detail so our clients can close more deals or grow their business. Our team is built on respect, humility, results, and extreme ownership—and we’re looking for someone who thrives in a culture where excellence and accountability matter.
