• Maintain overall project scope, budget, schedule, forecasting, change orders, owner billing, vendor invoices, and collections
• Estimate and take off project scope, cost, and duration; analyze subcontractor bids and support bid proposal development
• Negotiate contracts, revisions, changes, and additions with subcontractors, vendors, and project partners
• Identify ways to reduce cost, save time, improve constructability, and deliver value without compromising quality or design intent
• Enforce safety standards, processes, and procedures while supporting a clean, organized, and safe project site
• Conduct regular safety inspections, quality control reviews, and project audits to ensure standards are met
• Oversee daily project execution, resolve issues, and ensure work aligns with plans, specifications, codes, regulations, and client expectations
• Secure permits and licenses while monitoring compliance with building codes, safety requirements, insurance requirements, and contract obligations
• Manage project documentation including RFIs, submittals, pay applications, change orders, meeting minutes, schedules, and closeout materials
• Lead weekly OAC meetings, subcontractor meetings, and internal project team meetings to keep communication and progress aligned
• Coordinate manpower planning, project team coverage, materials, equipment, and other resources needed from start to finish
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, design partners, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Lead, mentor, and provide ongoing feedback to Project Engineers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Managers, and Superintendents
• Support client relationships and future project opportunities through strong project delivery and communication

Ideal Background:

• 8–10 years of project management experience
• Experience delivering large-scale construction projects; hyperscale project experience on $1B programs is preferred
• Background in mission critical, manufacturing, industrial, advanced manufacturing, data center, or complex technical construction preferred
• Must be comfortable working onsite in the Washington, DC area
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to manage budgets, schedules, change orders, RFIs, pay applications, owner communication, subcontractors, and internal project teams
• Construction Management, Engineering, or related degree preferred, though equivalent field experience will also be considered
