Project Manager

Gilbane Development Company (Gilbane) delivers high-quality affordable and mixed-income housing that strengthens communities and creates long-term, inclusive value. With an active pipeline across the Mid-Atlantic region (NC, VA, DC, MD, and PA), we're building places that people are proud to call home, all while balancing placemaking, durability, and financial performance. As we scale our impact, we're looking to add a Project Manager (PM) to our team, someone eager to learn more about real estate development while directly supporting active projects from pre-development through construction and delivery.
