Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril is creating a new opportunity for a Construction Manager to help us bring our growing real estate portfolio of offices and factories to life. We are seeking someone who can confidently navigate between meticulous cost estimating and core project management. For the first few months, the role will be heavily focused on cost estimating and will then transition into a hybrid PM/estimator capacity.

What You’ll Do:

• External Project Management and Coordination: Maintain strong relationships with contractors, consultants, vendors, and regulatory agencies.
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for all construction-related matters.
• Construction Cost Estimating: Gather user requirements for nascent construction projects and generate accurate cost estimates at all stages of a project lifecycle.
• Budget and Financial Oversight: Develop and manage budgets for construction and maintenance projects.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in construction management, with a minimum of 3 years spent directly in a cost estimating capacity.
• Familiarity with cost estimating software like Procore Estimating, Autodesk Takeoff, STACK, or RSMeans.
• Excel proficiency.
• Strong background in design advisory, pre-construction, and project kickoff/setup.
• Extreme orderliness when it comes to document control.
• Excellent project management skills.
• In-depth knowledge of construction means and methods, materials, MEP systems and building codes.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with advance manufacturing-related projects is strongly preferred.
• Experience with ICD-705 and TEMPEST-related policies and guidance.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field.
