Description

About the Role 

The Botanical Gardens & Grounds Project Manager (PM) supports the planning, coordination, and delivery of landscape, infrastructure, and site improvement projects across The Huntington’s campus. Reporting to the Botanical Gardens and Grounds Senior Project Manager, this role works across the full project lifecycle—from early planning and concept development through design, permitting, construction, and closeout. The role includes substantial hands-on coordination during active construction phases, including contractor oversight, site observation, and quality control.

The Project Manager serves as a key implementation partner, translating institutional goals, planning priorities, and design intent into clear scopes, schedules, consultant coordination, and built outcomes. Working closely with cross-functional teams, external consultants, contractors, and stakeholders, the PM ensures projects are well-coordinated, technically sound, fiscally responsible, and aligned with The Huntington’s standards for design excellence, accessibility, sustainability, and long-term stewardship.

This role requires a high level of organization, judgment, and adaptability, with the ability to manage complexity, support decision-making in early project phases, and maintain continuity across all stages of project delivery.
