gpac
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 12/31/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/29/2026
Build projects that matter. Lead work that makes an impact.

One of the nation's most respected general contractors is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead complex, high-profile federal construction projects. This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of critical work, managing builds from preconstruction through closeout while upholding the highest standards for safety, quality, and compliance.

If you thrive in structured environments, understand federal contracting inside and out, and want to work for a contractor trusted with some of the most visible federal projects in the country, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

  • Lead federal construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout
  • Maintain control of schedule, budget, quality, and safety on large, complex builds
  • Direct and coordinate project teams, subcontractors, and vendors to ensure seamless execution
  • Manage all project documentation including contracts, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and compliance reporting
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for owners, government agencies, and key stakeholders
  • Proactively identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies
  • Travel to project sites or relocate for specific project assignments as needed

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience managing federal construction projects
  • Strong working knowledge of federal contracting requirements and compliance standards
  • Confident leader with excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field preferred but not required
  • Willingness to travel or relocate based on project needs

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work on prestigious, high-visibility federal projects
  • Join a nationally recognized general contractor known for safety, quality, and execution excellence
  • Competitive compensation and robust benefits package
  • Long-term career growth with a company that invests in its people and leadership pipeline
