CAPITAL PROJECT MANAGER
Midwest Region
LOCATION: Kansas City
TRAVEL: 50-75% regional travel
COMPENSATION: Commensurate with experience
Nolan Living is a vertically-integrated real estate investment and management firm, that owns and operates a diverse portfolio of 26 high quality and well-located residential properties, totaling over 6,300 units, across the United States. We are seeking an experienced, highly accountable Capital Project Manager to lead capital improvement and renovation projects across our Midwest portfolio. This is an opportunity for a proactive construction professional who takes ownership from initial planning and budgeting through execution, turnover, and financial closeout, and who wants to make a measurable impact on the performance and long-term value of multifamily communities.
The Opportunity:
You will serve as the owner-side project lead, partnering closely with Property Operations, Asset Management, leadership, consultants, and contractors. The right candidate is more than a task manager: you anticipate risks, develop complete scopes, communicate clearly, protect occupied communities from unnecessary disruption, and consistently look for smarter ways to improve cost, quality, durability, and resident experience.
What You'll Do:
· Manage the full project lifecycle for assigned capital projects, including site assessment, budgeting, scope development, procurement, contracting, scheduling, construction oversight, turnover, and closeout.
· Develop thorough scopes of work, bid packages, and bid comparisons that allow for informed decisions and reduce gaps, change orders, and surprises during construction.
· Build and maintain realistic project budgets and schedules; monitor commitments, invoices, forecasts, contingencies, and variances through completion.
· Lead contractor selection, contract coordination, preconstruction meetings, progress meetings, site walks, punch lists, and final acceptance.
· Anticipate scope, schedule, logistics, safety, permitting, resident-impact, and operational risks; raise concerns early and bring forward practical solutions.
· Coordinate work in occupied multifamily communities with a strong focus on resident communication, access, phasing, cleanliness, safety, and continuity of property operations.
· Provide concise, timely reporting to internal stakeholders on project status, budget, schedule, decisions, risks, and next steps.
· Maintain complete project documentation, including approvals, contracts, change orders, meeting notes, photos, invoices, lien waivers, warranties, permits, and closeout records.
