Ladson, SC Full Time
POSTED ON 4/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/2/2026
Project Manager - Federal / NASA Programs

(Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident)

Target Contractors is hiring a Project Manager to take point on active and upcoming federal projects, including a major NASA job already underway. This role is hands-on, fast-moving, and demands someone who knows how to lead in a federal environment while keeping complex work on track.

If you can step into a federal project, manage a demanding client, keep change orders tight, and move work forward with confidence, this is for you.

The Work

You will start on a live NASA project in Alabama with an implosion deadline approaching. Three more federal jobs kick off in early 2025 in Georgia, Ohio, and Virginia.

This is a travel-first role. Expect to be on site about 95% of the time. Downtime between jobs is limited.

You won't be asked to fill safety or QC roles. The focus is full project leadership and client management.

What You Will Lead

Client Management (Critical)

  • Work closely with NASA's site rep.
  • Keep communication steady, clear, and calm.
  • Ensure the client feels supported and heard every day.
  • Track new scope requests and shape them into workable plans.

Change Orders & Scope Growth

  • Manage change order development from request to approval.
  • Push timelines, costs, and documentation with accuracy.
  • Keep the schedule tight while capturing all added work.
  • Help the company secure the full value of sole-source work.

Field Leadership

  • Support work onsite daily.
  • Coordinate with joint venture partners and subs.
  • Stay close to vendors for added scope (sidewalks, civil work, etc.).
  • Make sure all work is aligned with federal expectations.

Federal Project Oversight

  • Lead planning, progress tracking, and issue resolution.
  • Manage communication between contractors, partners, and the government.
  • Keep documentation clean and compliant.
  • Uphold site rules, security, and work standards.

Must Have

  • Federal construction or Demolition experience.
  • Doesn't need to be demolition, but must be federal.
  • Strong record handling change orders on government jobs.
  • U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (required for NASA badging).
  • Experience working in a joint venture environment is a plus.
  • Strong communication skills, especially with agency reps.
  • Able to travel across the Southeast for long periods.

Who Thrives Here

Someone who can:

  • Take ownership fast.
  • Build rapport with a demanding federal client.
  • Spot scope changes early and convert them into structured work.
  • Keep a complex job moving while calming noise around them.
  • Step into a chaotic situation and stabilize it.

Compensation

$150,000 - $175,000 depending on experience.

The right person may justify higher.
