About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Project Manager to lead complex, high-value design-build construction projects from kickoff through commissioning. This role is ideal for a seasoned, field-savvy leader with a strong engineering foundation and a proven track record managing large, multi-trade industrial construction programs—including $100M+ capital projects—driving safety, cost, schedule, and customer outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Lead large, complex industrial construction projects (design-build/EPC)—including $100M+ programs—with full lifecycle accountability for scope, budget, schedule, risk, quality, and customer satisfaction.
• Direct field execution and site logistics: construction planning, sequencing, constructability reviews, work packaging, shutdown/outage coordination (when applicable), and day-to-day issue resolution.
• Manage general contractors and subcontractors across multiple trades; set expectations, enforce accountability, and maintain a high-performing job site culture.
• Coordinate engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction to ensure materials and deliverables align with the construction schedule and installation requirements.
• Own commercial performance: cost forecasting, earned value/progress measurement, change management, claims avoidance, and timely client-facing documentation.
• Communicate project progress, risks, and performance through planning sessions, status reviews, and executive-level updates that enable timely decision-making.
• Drive proactive risk management—safety, constructability, sequencing, changing conditions, contingencies, and contract terms—to minimize cost and schedule impacts.
• Build strong relationships with customers, contractors, vendors, and suppliers to remove barriers and keep execution moving.
• Lead commissioning, turnover, and start-up activities; ensure punch lists, documentation, and closeout requirements are completed to standard.
• Champion a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance and reinforcing accountability at all levels of the organization.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience project managing large industrial/commercial construction projects, including demonstrated delivery of $100M+ CAPEX jobs, with accountability for cost, schedule, and field execution.
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

Required Skills

• Preferred: PMP and/or OSHA 30; experience delivering design-build/EPC projects and commissioning/turnover.
• Demonstrated success delivering multi-trade scopes (civil/structural, mechanical, electrical, controls) and coordinating engineering, procurement, and construction interfaces.
• Strong commercial and contractual acumen, with experience managing project financials, forecasting, change orders, and risk.
• Experience leading contractors and subcontractors on active jobsites, with a track record of building accountability and maintaining a strong safety culture.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience interfacing with executive leadership and customers.
• Strategic mindset paired with the ability to dive into details to drive execution and remove roadblocks.
