Green Card Real Estate Operations Jobs
Real Estate Operations roles, from asset management to property administration, qualify for EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process. Employers file with DOL to certify no qualified U.S. workers are available, then petition USCIS for permanent residency. Finding employers with active sponsorship history is the first step.

Amazon Robotics is seeking an experienced and strategic Senior Manager, Real Estate and Facilities to lead the real estate strategy, facilities operations, and construction project management for Fulfillment Technologies & Robotics (FTR). This role is responsible for a growing portfolio of 2MM+ square feet across the US and Europe, supporting over 5,000 employees in some of the most dynamic and technically complex environments within Amazon.
The Senior Manager will serve as the single-threaded leader for all real estate and facilities matters across FTR, operating at the intersection of strategy and execution. This leader must be equally comfortable presenting a long-term real estate strategy to VP-level stakeholders as they are making real-time trade-off decisions to reconfigure a lab test floor. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of strategic vision, operational excellence, and the ability to influence senior leaders across a matrixed organization.
This role operates across three pillars, requiring a versatile real estate generalist who can shift fluidly between strategic and tactical responsibilities:
-
Facilities Management
Lead day-to-day facilities operations across 12+ sites spanning multiple site types: large-scale hybrid sites containing office, R&D, and manufacturing operations; dedicated office sites; field lab support sites; and logistics warehouse operations. Each site type requires a distinct engagement and service level model. The most complex sites are FTR's hybrid facilities, where the leader must balance the competing and rapidly evolving needs of product development programs, manufacturing operations, and corporate office functions — all within the same building. -
Real Estate Strategy
Develop and execute FTR's real estate strategy to enable product development, manufacturing, and M&A objectives. This includes identifying and securing new sites, managing portfolio growth as the organization expands into new geographies and partnering closely with Amazon’s central real estate teams on lease negotiations and long-term planning. The leader will manage a dynamic portfolio where space needs are driven by rapidly evolving technology programs, requiring the ability to look around corners and design flexible solutions. -
Construction Project Management
Oversee all construction and renovation projects across the FTR portfolio, from tenant improvements and lab build-outs to major facility expansions. Projects must be executed while employees work in the building, test equipment is running, and manufacturing operations continue — requiring careful coordination, creative problem-solving, and strong vendor management.
Key job responsibilities
Strategic Leadership
- Develop and maintain the long-term real estate strategy for FTR, aligned with organizational growth plans and product development roadmaps
- Serve as the primary real estate and facilities advisor to FTR senior leadership, regularly engaging with L10-level stakeholders
- Make high-judgment trade-off decisions in a dynamic environment where program needs, technology requirements, and manufacturing volumes are constantly shifting
- Identify real estate solutions for M&A acquisitions and new business initiatives
Facilities Operations
- Own end-to-end facilities operations across all FTR-managed sites, ensuring safe, engaging, and effective workplaces
- Manage differentiated service models across site types — from full ownership of hybrid R&D/manufacturing sites to space planning in GREF-managed buildings
- Design and implement spaces that accommodate the unique requirements of hardware development programs, including specialized power, air, network, and flooring needs
- Oversee physical security, transportation, and space planning functions
Real Estate & Construction
- Lead real estate sourcing, lease negotiations (in partnership with central real estate teams), and landlord relationship management
- Manage all construction projects including expansions, renovations, and new site developments
- Negotiate major vendor agreements and manage ongoing vendor relationships
- Coordinate construction execution in occupied, operational buildings with minimal disruption
Stakeholder Management & Team Leadership
- Build and maintain productive partnerships with central Amazon teams, Amazon Robotics Leadership, and leaders of other robotics and AI organizations within Amazon
- Lead a team of real estate, facilities, and construction professionals and oversee outsourced resources performing facilities management and construction management services
- Operate a lean, high-performing organization that delivers bespoke real estate solutions with Frugality and enables accelerated product development

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Real Estate Operations
Document your degree field precisely
PERM requires your degree to align with the specific job duties. Real estate operations roles often fall under business administration or real estate management, so verify your transcript language matches the employer's job description before applying.
Search for employers with PERM filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Real Estate Operations roles by green card sponsorship history. Employers who have filed PERM applications before are far more likely to sponsor again than those with no prior record.
Target REITs and large commercial property firms
Real estate investment trusts and national commercial property management companies employ dedicated HR teams familiar with PERM. Smaller boutique agencies often lack the infrastructure to navigate DOL labor certification requirements.
Verify the prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the wage level before your offer stage, so there are no surprises during PERM filing.
Ask about concurrent EB-2 and EB-3 filing
Some real estate operations candidates qualify under both EB-2 and EB-3. Filing both petitions concurrently with USCIS can protect your place in the priority date queue if your EB-2 category retrogresses while your case is pending.
Prepare for the supervised recruitment phase
PERM requires your employer to run a DOL-mandated recruitment campaign before certifying the position. Understand this timeline upfront, as the process typically takes six to twelve months from recruitment to I-140 filing.
Green Card Real Estate Operations: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Real Estate Operations roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Real Estate Operations roles qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers or professionals with a bachelor's degree. Roles requiring an advanced degree or specialized expertise in areas like institutional asset management or commercial portfolio strategy may qualify under EB-2. Your employer sponsors the petition after completing DOL's PERM labor certification process.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for Real Estate Operations professionals?
H-1B visa is a temporary status capped at 85,000 per year and subject to a lottery. EB-3 green card sponsorship has no annual individual cap and leads to permanent residency. The PERM process is longer, typically 18 to 36 months from start to I-485 approval, but the outcome is lawful permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status.
Which Real Estate Operations job titles are most likely to receive PERM sponsorship?
Property managers, asset managers, real estate analysts, lease administrators, and operations directors are commonly sponsored through PERM. Roles with defined degree requirements and specialized skill sets are easier to certify because employers can demonstrate that a qualified U.S. worker pool is limited. O*NET occupation profiles help confirm how DOL classifies these duties.
How can I find Real Estate Operations employers who sponsor green cards?
Migrate Mate lets you search Real Estate Operations roles filtered specifically by employment-based green card sponsorship history. Targeting employers with documented PERM filing experience reduces time spent on applications to companies unfamiliar with the process, and it puts you in front of HR teams already set up to support the I-140 and adjustment of status steps.
Can my employer start the PERM process while I'm on a work visa?
Yes. Employers commonly file PERM while you hold H-1B or another work-authorized status. There's no requirement to wait until your current visa expires. Starting early matters because PERM, I-140 adjudication, and adjustment of status together can take two to four years, and your priority date is locked in at the I-140 filing stage.
