• Lead subcontractor procurement, including scope development, bid solicitation, proposal evaluation, leveling, negotiation, and subcontract awards.
• Manage project financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, commitments, cost-to-complete projections, change management, and subcontractor payment processes.

• Provide leadership and development to Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and other project staff.

Projects & Scope

• Advanced Technology and Mission Critical construction, including large-scale data center developments.
• Aerospace and Aviation projects, with an emphasis on aerospace manufacturing, production, assembly, MRO, hangar, and other technically complex facilities.
• Large, technically demanding projects involving significant MEP infrastructure, structural systems, equipment procurement, and commissioning requirements.
• Fast-track and phased construction environments requiring close coordination between design, procurement, field operations, and trade partners.
• Candidates with strong specialty or partial-scope experience may be considered, particularly at the PM I level.
• Data center experience is highly transferable, but candidates with advanced manufacturing, semiconductor, industrial, aerospace, aviation, or similarly complex construction experience are also strongly relevant.

Qualifications and Experience
