Development Manager, Land & Infrastructure Full Time

A day in the life

Prologis is seeking a Development Manager, Land & Infrastructure for our Central Valley market. Proximate to the Bay Area, the Central Valley market spans from Stockton to Modesto and is centered around the International Park of Commerce (IPC) in Tracy, CA, our premier industrial park and largest land holding in the company. In this role, you’ll be joining a small team with a massive impact.

This position takes responsibility for managing development activities for land, infrastructure and preparation for building developments including site pursuit, land due diligence, design and construction of roadways, utility infrastructure, greenspace and park-wide amenities. While Prologis’ core business remains industrial / warehouse facilities, the International Park of Commerce is a unique long-term project, heavily relying on infrastructure that we design and build to support the vertical development of best-in-class logistics facilities.

A key focus (up to 75%) of this role is managing Prologis’s infrastructure execution in IPC, which includes scoping of projects with our civil engineer to ensure compliance with City master plans and our Environmental Impact Report (EIR), pricing and management of the bid process, executing on the work in advance of vertical building projects in the area, and compliance tracking to ensure efficient handover to local agencies upon completion of the project. Ideal candidates for this role would have a strong background in civil construction including public infrastructure, grading and paving, wet and dry utilities, joint trench and traffic signal scopes, along with a keen eye, diligent work ethic, and great interpersonal and communication skills.

Initially, this role is heavily focused on civil infrastructure, but the ideal candidate will naturally grow and develop their vertical development, entitlement and building construction skills over time, supported by a lineup of experienced and collaborative development peers in the Northern California development team.

The position requires a high degree of energy, enthusiasm, outgoing personality, technical competence and professionalism. The position is preferred to reside in our Tracy office and interact daily with Prologis development, deployment and leasing teams. The position reports to the VP – Development Officer, Northern California.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead the execution of the development process for various project types including Land Infrastructure, Speculative Buildings, and Tenant Improvements with responsibilities heavily focused on land development, infrastructure, site investigation, construction management and an eagerness to learn vertical construction, permitting and entitlements, and warehouse design from project inception to completion.
