Federal Project Manager

gpac
Columbia, SC Full Time
POSTED ON 1/13/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/11/2026
CONFIDENTIAL | Project Manager - Federal Construction

Are you a Federal Project Manager ready to step into a role that puts you on high-profile, mission-critical federal projects with a contractor known for excellence, integrity, and elite delivery standards?

A top-tier national construction firm with a long-standing reputation in the federal market is expanding its Federal Group and seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead complex government projects across the U.S. This organization is highly selective, values long-term relationships, and invests heavily in its people.

This is a career-defining opportunity for a PM who thrives in structured environments, understands federal compliance, and wants to work with one of the best teams in the industry.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Base salary up to $180,000 for the right experience
  • Travel role supporting federal projects nationwide
  • Performance-based bonus potential
  • Exceptional benefits package well above industry standards
  • Strong operational support - this is not a figure-it-out-on-your-own role
  • A company culture built on accountability, respect, and doing things the right way

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead federal projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Manage budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and compliance requirements
  • Coordinate closely with owners, inspectors, and internal teams
  • Drive proactive problem-solving on complex, secure project sites
  • Uphold the highest standards of safety, quality, and professionalism

What They're Looking For

  • 5 years of federal construction Project Management experience
  • Strong knowledge of federal procedures, documentation, and compliance
  • Ability to manage travel-based, high-visibility projects
  • Proven leadership and communication skills
  • Experience delivering projects in regulated environments

This is a strictly confidential search.

If you're even passively open to exploring a high-level federal PM opportunity with elite compensation and long-term growth, I'd welcome a private conversation.
