JOB DESCRIPTION

TITLE: PROJECT MANAGER / ESTIMATOR – CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS & ADVANCED FACILITIES

LOCATION: Auburn Hills / Lake Orion, Michigan

OBJECTIVE

We are seeking a Project Manager with Estimating capabilities to support our Specialized Business Unit – PACE Systems  for Clean Rooms, Controlled Environments, and Advanced Facilities work to include Mission Critical Data Centers. This role is weighed more heavily toward Project Management but requires the ability and willingness to self-perform estimate- including takeoffs, pricing, and owning projects from pursuit through closeout.

The ideal candidate may have experience in a high-performing interiors/self-perform construction group- particularly with a carpentry background, who is interested in advancing into cleanrooms, controlled environments, advanced facilities and mission critical. Direct cleanroom and data center experience is a plus, but strong interiors and self-perform construction experience is essential. Training on cleanroom-specific requirements will be provided.

This is a true “estimate it, win it, build it” role. Candidates must be hands-on, commercially minded, and able to take accountability for both preconstruction and execution.
