Traveling Project Manager

Traveling Project Manager

A leading national mechanical contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to oversee major mechanical construction efforts on one of the largest data center projects in the region. This is a rare opportunity to take a leadership role on a high-visibility, mission-critical build while earning one of the most competitive per diem packages in the industry.

If you thrive in complex environments, enjoy managing large teams, and want to be part of a project that will define your career, this role offers the scale, challenge, and reward you are looking for.

What You Will Do

As the Project Manager, you will be responsible for planning, directing, and executing all aspects of mechanical construction from preconstruction through turnover. Your responsibilities will include:

Project Leadership and Execution

• Track and forecast project-level financials and provide regular reporting to executive leadership
• Produce, maintain, and manage detailed project schedules
• Lead change management efforts including assembling estimates, budgets, and proposals
• Oversee subcontractors and vendors to ensure alignment with project goals
• Negotiate contracts and manage commercial terms
• Attend and lead project meetings with internal teams, clients, and partners
• Mentor and develop project engineers and other team members

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Collaborate closely with field supervisors, foremen, fabrication shop leadership, VDC/CAD/Detailing teams, project engineers, and project accountants
• Ensure seamless communication and coordination across all project stakeholders
• Maintain strong client relationships and ensure customer satisfaction throughout the project lifecycle

What You Bring

Required Skills and Experience

• Relevant Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Minimum 5 years of project management experience in the construction industry
• Strong communication skills with the ability to lead diverse teams
• Sound judgment, professionalism, and the ability to navigate complex situations
• Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and technical documents
• Strong time management skills and the ability to adapt quickly
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (especially Excel)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Work on a Massive, High-Profile Data Center Project

This is not a typical construction job. You will be managing mechanical systems for a large-scale, mission-critical data center that demands precision, innovation, and leadership.

Industry-Leading Per Diem

This role offers one of the best per diem packages available in the mechanical construction market, making it an exceptional opportunity for experienced project managers seeking both challenge and reward.

Career-Defining Experience

You will be part of a high-performance team delivering a project that will stand out on any resume and open doors to future large-scale opportunities.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision
• 401K with company match
• Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Voluntary Life Insurance
• Paid Time Off
