What you need
About you
Are you energized by turning an early idea for a sports or entertainment venue into a clear, buildable plan? Do you bring sound judgment, integrity, and the confidence to advise clients while aligning designers, builders, operators, and local stakeholders?
ARCO’s Sports & Entertainment team is seeking a motivated Project Developer to guide projects from early site evaluation through preconstruction. You will help clients assess development opportunities and move projects toward construction by leading due diligence, entitlements, design coordination, cost planning, and schedule development. As a trusted client advisor, you will connect business goals with practical design and construction solutions, partnering closely with ARCO’s design and construction teams.
Projects may include sports, recreation, and entertainment facilities where site access, event operations, audience experience, specialized building systems, and schedule certainty can shape project decisions.
