Job Description

Project Executive – Infrastructure Construction

Texas

Client Overview

Vector Talent Solutions is a veteran-owned workforce solutions firm dedicated to helping organizations identify, attract, and hire top talent. We are seeking a Project Executive for a client in the construction and infrastructure industry.

Position Overview

Our client is seeking a Texas-based Project Executive to lead large, complex infrastructure projects. This role is responsible for project strategy, financial performance, client relationships, and the teams delivering the work.

The ideal candidate has a strong record of leading major capital projects—such as highways, dams, power plants, or other large-scale infrastructure programs. Experience with electrical construction or hyperscale data centers is welcome, but neither is required. The priority is a leader who can take ownership of complex work, make sound commercial decisions, and deliver results through strong teams.

Responsibilities

• Provide executive oversight of infrastructure projects from planning and preconstruction through delivery and closeout.
• Lead and develop project management, construction, and field leadership teams.
• Own project financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, cost controls, and risk management.
• Guide project strategy, schedules, procurement, contracts, and change management.
• Build strong relationships with clients, owners, partners, and other key stakeholders.
• Support major pursuits, proposals, contract negotiations, and business development.
• Resolve escalated project issues while maintaining a strong focus on safety, quality, and delivery.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of progressive construction or project leadership experience, including senior-level responsibility for complex infrastructure work.
• Demonstrated success leading major capital projects; experience with projects approaching or exceeding $1 billion is strongly preferred.
• Strong commercial and financial judgment, including experience with forecasting, contract management, and risk mitigation.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively with clients and executive stakeholders.
• Experience in electrical infrastructure or hyperscale data center construction is a plus, not a requirement.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred. PMP or PgMP certification is a plus.
• Ability to visit project sites as needed.

Compensation: DOE.
