Last updated: September 11, 2026 Applications: careers AT kloshgroup DOT com About Klosh Group Klosh Group is a client-first construction management consulting firm specializing in Owner's Representation across the United States. We're the people owners call when they need someone in their corner who will solve their project and management problems, not just identify them. What Makes Us Different We give our team real autonomy to drive results. When a client has a complex project challenge, you won't be passing it up the chain. You'll be the one figuring it out and moving things forward. If you're wired to take ownership and run with it, you'll fit right in here. What You'll Actually Do You'll operate as an extension of our clients' leadership teams, representing their interests throughout the project lifecycle. You won't just track schedules and budgets. You'll identify risks before they become problems, negotiate solutions when conflicts arise, and make strategic recommendations that protect our clients' investments. You'll manage complex stakeholder dynamics, push back on contractors and design teams when needed, and make sure projects deliver what they're supposed to deliver. Who Thrives Here People who get energized by challenges, not buried by them. You can walk into messy situations, determine what needs to happen, and drive the process forward without needing constant direction. You're comfortable being the client's advocate in tough conversations and can command respect from project teams. You catch the details that matter while staying focused on the bigger picture. What's in It for You You'll further develop deep expertise in project delivery from the owner's perspective, with hands-on experience in project budgeting, scheduling, risk management, and client relationships across diverse, high-stakes projects. Because we're a tight-knit team, what you do matters. Your ideas shape how we work and where we're headed.
