The Lead Project Manager will be responsible for directing multidisciplinary construction efforts, managing project execution, overseeing contractor performance, and ensuring successful delivery of facility planning, design, renovation, and construction initiatives. This position requires a highly skilled professional capable of independently managing large‑scale commercial and government construction projects while maintaining focus on quality, schedule, budget, safety, and risk management.
