Job description

Lead high-impact federal and public works infrastructure projects from preconstruction through closeout with an elite, mission-driven team that values execution over bureaucracy.

Salary: $110,000 - $160,000 per year

We are a premier, service-disabled veteran-owned general contractor specializing exclusively in federal, institutional, and public works construction. With a reputation for delivering complex, high-security renovations and infrastructure upgrades for agencies like the VA, DOD, and NASA, we combine the sophisticated project management of a large firm with the agile, relationship-driven culture of a boutique builder.

Why join us

• Recession-Proof Backlog: Build your career on fully funded, long-term federal contracts that provide unmatched job stability.
• Mission-Driven Culture: Work alongside a disciplined, collaborative team that treats construction as a mission, not just a job.
• True Ownership: Enjoy autonomous project execution without the corporate red tape—if you perform, you advance.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive base salary, performance bonuses, vehicle allowance, and premium health coverage.

Responsibilities

Oversee full project lifecycles including budgeting, scheduling, federal compliance (FAR), subcontractor buyout, and owner relations; manage occupied-facility constraints and coordinate closely with agency representatives (USACE/VA).

Qualifications

5+ years of experience as a commercial or public works GC Project Manager; strong familiarity with public agency protocols; background in design-build construction a plus; degree in Construction Management or Civil Engineering is a plus.
