• Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, and quality to ensure successful outcomes and client satisfaction.
• Oversee project financial performance, including fees, work plans, labor forecasts, budgets, and client invoicing.
• Negotiate contracts, manage project scope, identify additional service opportunities, and mitigate risks to both clients and the firm.
• Oversee quality control reviews to ensure project deliverables meet applicable codes, company standards, and client requirements.
• Mentor and support junior project managers, helping develop their technical, leadership, and project management skills.
• Support business development efforts through proposals, client interviews, and expanding relationships with existing and prospective clients.
• Represent Fishbeck through professional organizations and industry involvement to strengthen client relationships and market presence.
• Identify opportunities to improve project management practices, processes, and standards across the firm.

What We're Looking For

• Architectural licensure strongly preferred.
• 15+ years of relevant experience, including substantial experience leading projects as a Project Manager.
• Proven success managing complex, multidisciplinary projects while maintaining project scope, schedules, budgets, and quality.
• Strong understanding of project financial management, including fees, labor forecasts, budgets, invoicing, and contracts.
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain strong client relationships and deliver exceptional client service.
• Experience mentoring, developing, and overseeing junior project managers and technical staff.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate teams, delegate effectively, and foster collaboration.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills, including the ability to navigate challenging conversations.
• Experience with Deltek or similar project planning and budgeting software.
• A proactive, accountable approach to leadership with a commitment to continuous improvement and professional growth.
