Cornerstone is a full-service owner representation consulting firm. Cornerstone takes full responsibility for all project communications, coordination, scheduling, budgets and overall management. By exclusively representing the owner, we are not restricted or conflicted by other construction roles, tasks and responsibilities. This ensures that your best interests and the best interests of your project are met. Cornerstone was founded in 2024 but was formerly known as HB Cornerstone which was a subsidiary of the law firm Harris Beach PLLC, since 2004. 

Cornerstone offers value-added services and resources in areas outside your primary expertise. We also provide problem-solving and avoidance, expectation and risk management, and overall project
coordination and integration.

**About DJCA Cornerstone **

DJCA Cornerstone is a growing, family-oriented Owner's Representative and Project Management firm based in Pittsford, NY. We represent owners throughout the planning, design, and construction process, acting as their trusted advocate to ensure projects are delivered with clarity, accountability, and attention to detail.

Our work bridges the gap between owners, architects, engineers, and contractors. We are not a general contractor. We manage projects from the owner's perspective, with a strong emphasis on coordination, documentation, quality, and communication.

**Why This Role Stands Out **

- Hybrid schedule after onboarding (office, home, and local site visits)

- Competitive Salary + Commission Bonus

- Generous paid time off and holidays

- Projects are typically local

- Family-oriented, collaborative work environment

- Direct access to leadership and decision-making

**Position Summary **

DJCA Cornerstone is seeking a Project Manager / Owner's Representative to manage construction projects on behalf of our clients from early planning through project closeout. This role is ideal for a design or construction professional who enjoys being involved across all phases of a project, values collaboration, and takes pride in representing the owner's best interests.

- Coordinate, participate in, and occasionally lead project meetings

- Perform on-site inspections to observe quality of work, materials, safety, and conformance with plans, specifications, and applicable codes

- Maintain observation logs including work progress, site activity, weather, and photographs

- Assist with permitting coordination and municipal requirements

- Support design development, including document review and coordination with design professionals

- Assist with gathering and documenting existing field conditions

- Support review of shop drawings, product submissions, scopes of work, and estimates

- Prepare and distribute weekly project updates and status reports

**Qualifications **

- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent construction experience)

- 5+ years of experience in construction project management, field supervision, or owner-side roles

- Strong understanding of construction processes, sequencing, and documentation

- General knowledge of building codes and permitting processes

- Proficiency in Microsoft Office; MS Project required, AutoCAD a plus
