Job summary

Diné Development Corporation (DDC) seeks a Deputy Project Manager to support leadership and day-to-day execution of a prospective DOE SPRPMO task order in New Orleans. You will act as the PM's principal deputy, coordinate across functional areas, and maintain staffing and deliverable discipline.

This on-site role requires federal program experience, ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, and readiness to assume dual PM/functional-lead responsibilities if needed.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated program/project-management or senior functional-lead experience on complex Federal or comparably regulated mission-support programs.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams, workload, deliverables, staffing coverage, action closure, and day-to-day operational execution.
• Demonstrated ability to serve as a credible deputy to a senior PM and exercise sound judgment within delegated authority.
• Documented examples of improving a process, resolving issues, or implementing a methodology that produced measurable results.
• Strong written and oral communication skills, including executive briefings and coordination across Government and contractor organizations.

Responsibilities

• Act as the Project Manager's principal deputy and assume delegated PM responsibilities or act for the PM during absences.
• Coordinate execution across financial management, business management, technical management, administrative support, and special projects.
• Track workload, staffing, vacancies, action items, milestones, deliverables, risks, and corrective actions; elevate issues with recommended solutions.
• Maintain cross-training, backup coverage, and surge capacity so workload spikes or vacancies do not affect mission performance.
• Coordinate preparation, review, and timely submission of recurring and ad hoc deliverables and help minimize rework through disciplined quality control.
• Support transition, onboarding, clearance/access readiness, knowledge transfer, and continuity of operations.
• Assist with subcontractor integration, resource allocation, functional-lead coordination, and resolution of competing priorities.
• Support QASP/QAP performance measurement, continuous improvement, cost/waste reduction, and process-efficiency initiatives.
• Maintain effective coordination with DOE counterparts and other site stakeholders while preserving non-personal-services boundaries.
• Serve in a dual DPM/functional-lead role if the final staffing model and candidate qualifications support an efficient configuration.
• Other duties as assigned.
