Director of Construction & Entitlements, Industrial

Stream Realty Partners, L.P. is seeking a Director of Construction & Entitlements to join its Industrial Development Services (IDS) Southeast team. Based in Atlanta and reporting to the Executive Managing Director & Partner of the platform, this role owns the full entitlement and construction execution of industrial development projects across Georgia, the Carolinas, and Florida — partnering closely with IDS developers from initial pursuit through project close-out and disposition support.

Projects will consist predominantly of ground-up speculative and build-to-suit industrial developments, with some acquisitions of existing assets. The Director will operate in a highly collaborative, entrepreneurial environment — managing multiple projects at various stages of development while serving as the primary interface between the IDS development team, contractors, consultants, and local government agencies across the region.

Primary Responsi:

Pre-Development & Due Diligence

• Collaborate with IDS developers to assess the feasibility of new development opportunities, providing preliminary cost guidance, development and entitlement scheduling, and early-stage civil engineering risk assessment
• Provide cost input and budgets for pursuit-cost estimation
• Attend due diligence trips to evaluate site requirements and existing conditions influencing project viability
• Source, negotiate, and execute due diligence proposals and contracts with contractors and consultants
• Review and interpret technical site reports, including geotechnical studies, environmental assessments, civil drawings, and easement-related title and survey matters

Entitlements

• Spearhead the project team’s pursuit and receipt of all entitlements required to break ground post-closing
• Lead all interactions with local government and municipal agencies, franchise utility providers, and permitting authorities
• Direct the process with architects, owners, engineers, and contractors in formulating accurate, complete scopes of work and budgets
• Develop project bid set specifications
• Build and maintain project schedules and sequencing that set accurate expectations for the customer and project team

Construction Management

• Oversee the day-to-day performance of general contractors and subcontractors on active development projects
• Manage monthly construction draws and all lender- and inspector-required documentation
• Prepare recurring project progress reports for capital partners
• Lead project close-out processes and documentation
• Coordinate material delivery schedules and logs
• Lead weekly project progress meetings
• Manage change requests end-to-end: pricing review, submittal, follow-up, and change order execution to all parties
• Oversee pay application verification and processing, including lien waivers for owners and sub/suppliers
• Review and track all project invoicing against overall budget and allowances
• Coordinate with the IDS leasing and capital markets teams on tenant improvement handoffs at project disposition

Team Operations

• Participate in weekly IDS Southeast team meetings
• Create and maintain an internal database tracking GC pricing by building type, size, and regional market
• Process expense reports and manage travel logistics as needed

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree required; Construction Management major or concentration preferred
• 5–10 years of construction management experience; general contractor background with development-side exposure strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to develop and stress-test preliminary project budgets and pursuit-cost estimates during pre-construction and due diligence phases
• Industrial development experience a plus; experience with complex project types — including data centers, higher education, healthcare, or multifamily — viewed favorably

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Proven ability to navigate local government agencies, municipal processes, and franchise utilities through entitlement, permitting, and approvals
• Demonstrated competency leading consultant and contractor teams through all phases of development from initial due diligence through project substantial completion and tenant improvement
• Proactive problem-solver with the ability to anticipate challenges and resolve them before they affect schedule or budget
• Strong organizational and analytical skills; able to manage multiple simultaneous projects across multiple state markets and regulatory environments with high attention to detail
• Clear, proactive communicator — verbal and written — both internally and externally across the full project team
• Skilled at engaging professionally with a wide range of project stakeholders: developers, capital partners, municipal agencies, brokers, contractors, architects, engineers, and property managers
• Adept at identifying and escalating entitlement and construction risk throughout all phases of the development lifecycle
• Approaches each project with an owner’s mindset — focused on overall project success, capital efficiency, and schedule integrity rather than scope execution alone
• Willingness to travel for site visits, due diligence trips, and team meetings — minimum once per month, with more frequent regional and Houston/Austin travel expected in year one
• Proficient in MS Office, Adobe, and construction project management platforms (Procore or similar)
