Job description

About the Opportunity

Our client is a nationally recognized engineering and project delivery firm specializing in complex, large‑scale facilities. They are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead multidisciplinary teams through the full lifecycle of ground‑up data center and mission‑critical infrastructure projects.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment and enjoys overseeing sophisticated technical programs for high‑profile clients.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for the client throughout all project phases—from initial proposal discussions through project completion and post‑delivery follow‑ups.
• Lead and coordinate diverse design and technical teams, including architecture, engineering disciplines, civil, environmental, and specialty consultants.
• Develop project execution plans, staffing strategies, and schedules; ensure resources are aligned appropriately to meet scope, quality, and timeline requirements.
• Engage and manage external partners or specialized technical experts when needed, ensuring seamless integration and performance across all contributors.
• Gain a thorough understanding of the client’s operational structure, key stakeholders, and project expectations to ensure alignment and long‑term relationship success.
• Oversee the development, review, and maintenance of project documentation, deliverables, and workflows using the client’s established processes.
• Mentor and support junior project management staff, helping guide their development and ensuring consistency across project execution standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related technical discipline.
• U.S. Citizenship is required due to project requirements and federal compliance standards.
• Professional licensure (PE or Registered Architect) preferred, or a demonstrated commitment and ability to obtain licensure.
• Minimum 5 years of experience managing large-scale engineering or construction projects within the mission‑critical, data center, or high‑performance building sectors.
• Proven ability to collaborate with multi‑disciplinary, geographically dispersed teams using both virtual and in‑person communication methods.
• Experience with large renovation, expansion, and new construction (greenfield) projects.
• Ability to travel periodically for site walks, client meetings, and key project milestones.
• Must be able to meet background, security, or screening requirements as dictated by client or federal contracts.
• Authorization to work in the United States (no sponsorship available).

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Opportunity to lead cutting‑edge, highly technical projects for major national and global clients.
• Robust professional development resources including mentorship, certification support, and continuing education.
• Competitive benefits package, retirement contributions, and additional technical allowances.
• Strong internal culture emphasizing technical excellence, curiosity, and long‑term employee growth.
