Sr. Project Manager - Construction

Job Description:

ONNI Group is hiring a Senior Project Manager in Bellevue, WA

Join one of the largest privately owned real estate companies in North America. Onni Bellevue is Downtown Bellevue’s next landmark address — a three-tower, 800,000+ SF development bringing office, retail, hotel, and residential together on a single downtown super block in the Skyscraper Core, steps from Bellevue Downtown Station, with excavation underway since July 2026 and delivery set for 2030. As Senior Project Manager, you’ll plan, execute, and finalize this landmark project according to the company’s strict guidelines and within budget for the construction project — acquiring resources and coordinating the efforts of team members and third-party contractors or consultants to deliver the project according to plan, while also defining the project’s objectives and overseeing quality control throughout its full life cycle, from excavation through to delivery in 2030.

For over half a century, we’ve been building communities for people to live, work, and play — spanning real estate development and construction, commercial property ownership and management, hospitality, and a growing presence in venture capital and technology. Our expertise reaches across major North American cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix, Toronto, and Vancouver. To date, we’ve developed, built, and now own or manage well over 50 million square feet of residential, office, retail, and industrial space — including more than 15,000 homes and 11,200 rental apartments — with another 28 million square feet underway across our markets. Employing thousands of people across North America, Onni continues to diversify beyond our real estate roots, including through Grey Owl, our technology company delivering managed IT, AI-driven security, and smart building solutions to commercial properties across North America.

In 2009, Onni entered the hospitality space with Level Hotels & Furnished Suites, and our portfolio has since grown to various hotels in Vancouver, Chicago, and Seattle, with plans to add and grow more. We’ve also expanded into dining, with restaurant concepts including Capo & The Spritz and Solette in Vancouver and Chicago, Fora in Chicago’s Fulton Market, and Dialtone, our coffee-by-day, wine-by-night concept.

At Onni, you’ll learn from experienced professionals across every part of our business, take on real responsibility early, and have clear room to grow — whether your path is in commercial real estate, hospitality, or the technology and innovation shaping what comes next.
