Barton Malow is seeking a CSA Project Manager for a mission critical project near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is a full-time, on-site role based at the jobsite.

The CSA Project Manager owns the civil, structural, and architectural package end to end, including cost, schedule, buyout, and subcontractor performance. This role is accountable for the work that gates everything downstream: site and foundations, slab, structure, envelope, and roof dry-in. Success means MEP rough-in and equipment setting start on the date the schedule says they will.

The individual will work directly with the owner, designers, engineers, and trade partners, manage risk and change proactively, and hold the line on quality and sequence from preconstruction through closeout.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Owns cost, schedule, buyout, and subcontractor performance for the CSA package end to end.
• Manages CSA sequencing against the equipment and commissioning schedule, recognizing that slab, envelope, and roof dry-in drive MEP rough-in and equipment setting.
• Coordinates embeds, sleeves, penetrations, housekeeping pads, and support steel with the MEP team so interfaces are resolved before they become schedule impacts.
• Oversees the procurement process and bidding strategy, develops work scopes, organizes pre-bid meetings, and evaluates bids after submission.
• Leads change management for the package and defends a position with the owner using facts and documentation rather than posture.
• Facilitates coordination meetings with the project team from preconstruction through closeout, ensuring effective communication throughout the process.
• Initiates development of the project schedule and jobsite setup, including mobilization and permit management.
• Manages the general conditions budget, conducts cash flow analysis, and monitors project costs to protect profitability.
• Supports the Superintendent on owner issues and subcontractor communications, ensuring the requirements outlined in owner agreements.
• Coordinates company personnel and resources, supervises jobsite staff, and monitors compliance with schedule requirements.
• Administers the financial aspects of owner contracts, subcontracts, and purchase orders.
• Builds effective working relationships with the owner and Barton Malow team members.

Required Knowledge, Education, Experience, Skills, and Abilities

• Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent field experience.
• 5+ years managing structural, architectural, and civil scope on large-scale mission critical or industrial projects.
• Working knowledge of how CSA sequencing gates MEP rough-in and equipment setting, with the judgment to protect that sequence under pressure.
• Direct, credible communicator who is comfortable in front of the client and clear with trade partners.
• Fluent in change management, including entitlement, notice requirements, and pricing, with the ability to substantiate a position with facts.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, demonstrated by a strong understanding of applicable contracts and legal provisions.
• Strong management skills to effectively oversee trade partner performance, ensuring adherence to Barton Malow's quality standards.
• Proven ability to multi-task and handle competing priorities, balancing project delivery needs with the non-critical review of incomplete work assignments while maintaining excellent client relationships.
• Ability to manage and embrace change, responding and adapting to new processes and perspectives on traditional challenges.
• A strong sense of urgency, with the ability to quickly assess complex issues and resolve conflicts effectively in a firm yet fair manner.
• This is an on-site position. Full-time presence at the jobsite near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is required.
• Regular work in an active construction environment, including exposure to weather, noise, and uneven terrain, with required personal protective equipment.
