About the Role
Gilbane Development is seeking an Assistant Owner’s Representative – Resident & Construction Liaison to support NYCHA RAD/PACT work across occupied developments in New York City. This owner-side, field-forward role strengthens resident coordination, documentation, and day-to-day field oversight to improve quality, safety, access logistics, and responsiveness during active renovation. The position reports to the Owner’s Representative (OR) / Senior Project Manager and involves significant on-site presence, acting as a liaison between residents, property management, the general contractor (GC), and the owner team.
Responsibilities
- Conduct regular site walks to observe progress, sequencing impacts, and day-to-day site conditions.
- Document visible safety, quality, and logistics concerns and escalate priority issues.
- Track and help verify contractor corrective actions.
- Support coordination of unit access plans with the GC and property management.
- Coordinate with the GC’s field team on upcoming work areas and resident-impact activities.
- Verify unit readiness prior to in-unit work.
- Participate in site coordination meetings where resident-impact work is discussed.
- Serve as an on-site owner representative presence to receive resident concerns respectfully and route them through defined channels.
- Support a consistent process for response timing, documentation, and follow-through.
- Assist with resident access coordination for in-unit scopes.
- Support pre-work and post-work condition documentation to reduce disputes and improve closeout quality.
- Observe and report resident-impact risks and propose practical mitigation steps.
- Follow-up on missed access or incomplete work situations.
- Review look-ahead schedules to anticipate access and logistical needs.
- Maintain organized observation logs, photo documentation, and field notes.
- Assist the OR with issue tracking logs and weekly reporting inputs.
- Coordinate apartment lists, stacks, and sequencing with the GC and property management.
- Coordinate follow-up with the GC and property management to confirm accountability and closure.
- Support the OR in documenting patterns that affect cost, schedule, resident satisfaction, and reputation risk.
- Represent ownership with a resident-first mindset: calm, respectful, consistent, and solution-oriented.
- Maintain discretion and professionalism in sensitive resident interactions.
- Reinforce project “rules of the road” through observation and escalation.
Requirements
- 2–5 years of experience in construction, property management, affordable housing operations, or owner’s rep support.
- Exposure to occupied renovation environments; affordable housing or NYCHA experience strongly preferred.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to track issues, actions, and follow-ups across multiple stakeholders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to de-escalate and communicate clearly with residents and site teams.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
- Ability to work on active construction sites across NYC developments (travel between sites may occasionally be required).
- Familiarity with NYCHA RAD/PACT operating context, resident engagement practices, and coordination between property management and construction teams.
- Procore experience or similar construction management platforms.
- Photo documentation and field reporting experience (clean, consistent, timestamped logs).
