What they ask project manager candidates here
Drawn from the 5 open postings on this page. The ones that come up across several employers are near the top.
Walk me through a building project you managed from schematic design through construction administration. Where did the schedule actually slip, and what did you do about it?
What they are checking: Whether they have truly carried a project across phases or only managed one slice of it.
How do you build and track a fee budget on a large architecture project so you know you're in trouble before the design team does?
What they are checking: Whether they manage fees with real numbers and early warning signs, not by gut feel at the end.
A client asks for a major design change late in design development. How do you handle the conversation about fee and schedule?
What they are checking: Whether they can protect the firm's fee while keeping the client relationship warm and honest.
SOM projects bring architecture, structure and MEP together under one roof. How have you kept interdisciplinary teams coordinated when their deadlines pull against each other?
What they are checking: Whether they can run integration across disciplines rather than passing drawings back and forth.
Tell me about a time a consultant missed a deliverable that your whole team depended on. What did you do?
What they are checking: Whether they hold outside parties accountable without burning a relationship the project still needs.
How do you decide what goes in a monthly client report versus what you handle quietly inside the team?
What they are checking: Judgment about transparency with clients, and knowing which risks the client must hear about now.
What's your approach to contracts and additional services? How do you spot scope creep in the middle of a busy design phase?
What they are checking: Whether they know the contract well enough to recognize unpaid work while it is happening.
Describe how you've managed staffing on a project when the design team was stretched across several deadlines.
What they are checking: Whether they plan people and hours ahead instead of relying on overtime to rescue the schedule.
