Job description

Senior Project Manager | Industrial & Manufacturing Construction (Philadelphia)

A national design-build contractor (six decades in business and growing fast) is expanding its industrial team in Philadelphia and hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead large-scale manufacturing and industrial projects across PA and surrounding markets.

This is a seat for a construction leader who thrives in fast-paced, technically demanding work and can own a project from preconstruction through final turnover. You’ll join at a real growth moment, with the visibility and the runway that come with it.

Why this role

• Rare staying power and momentum: 60+ years in business, growing quickly, and actively building out its industrial practice in the Northeast
• In-house, integrated design-build with VDC (Virtual Design & Construction), so you deliver with real control over cost, schedule, and constructability
• A pipeline weighted toward negotiated and repeat-client work, the kind that means stability, not firefighting
• Significant leadership visibility and a genuine path to grow as the business grows
• A culture built on teamwork, transparency, and integrity, from a firm that sees itself as a long-term partner to its clients, not just a builder
• Advanced manufacturing facilities
• Cold storage & temperature-controlled buildings
• Food & beverage processing plants
• Distribution & logistics centers
• Industrial expansions, retrofits & operational upgrades

What you’ll do

• Lead projects through every phase of delivery, preconstruction through closeout
• Manage schedules, budgets, forecasting, procurement, and risk mitigation
• Coordinate owners, consultants, subcontractors, vendors, and field operations
• Drive constructability reviews, logistics planning, and execution strategy
• Partner closely with superintendents to keep sites efficient and performing
• Oversee contract administration, change management, and financial reporting
• Hold the line on safety, quality, and operational standards across every project
• Mentor project engineers and junior project managers

What you bring

• 10+ years of project management experience in industrial construction
• Required experience in manufacturing, logistics, food & beverage, or cold storage
• A track record on projects exceeding $10M
• Strong design-build and preconstruction experience
• Command of budgeting, scheduling, subcontractor management, and field coordination
• Confidence leading technically complex, fast-track builds
• Proficiency with Primavera P6, MS Project, Procore, CMiC, or similar
• Strong leadership, communication, and client management skills

Why this opportunity

High-profile industrial projects with long-term stability · Strong negotiated & repeat-client pipeline · Real leadership visibility and career growth · Collaborative, performance-driven culture · Competitive comp, bonus, and full benefits
