Construction Project Manager - Federal

Job Description

Construction Project Manager - Federal Projects


A nationally recognized General Contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead complex federal construction projects across the U.S. This is an opportunity to join a builder known for delivering critical work for agencies such as USACE, NAVFAC, DOD, and other federal clients - with the resources, systems, and leadership support to do the job right.


If you thrive in structured, high-accountability environments and want to be part of a contractor trusted with some of the country’s most important projects, this role is worth a closer look.


What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead federal construction projects from preconstruction through closeout
• Manage project budgets, schedules, contracts, and risk
• Serve as the primary point of contact for owners, inspectors, design teams, and internal leadership
• Oversee and mentor project engineers, APMs, and field teams
• Ensure strict compliance with federal requirements, safety standards, and quality control plans
• Coordinate with Superintendents to maintain schedule, productivity, and site execution
• Drive successful project outcomes while maintaining strong client relationships

What They’re Looking For

• Proven Project Management experience on federal construction projects
• Experience with USACE, NAVFAC, DOD, VA, GSA, or similar agencies
• Strong understanding of EM 385-1-1, CQM, submittals, RFIs, and federal documentation
• Ability and willingness to travel or relocate based on project needs
• Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills
• Proficiency with project management tools such as Procore, P6, or similar platforms

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work for one of the nation’s leading General Contractors with a long federal backlog
• Large-scale, high-visibility projects with real responsibility and autonomy
• Competitive compensation package including base salary, bonus, per diem, housing, and travel support
• Clear path for long-term career growth within a stable, well-capitalized organization
• Strong operational support - you’re not doing this alone

Who This Is a Great Fit For

• Federal PMs looking for bigger projects and broader responsibility
• Project Managers ready to step into a national platform
• Professionals who value structure, process, and accountability
• Leaders who want their work to matter - not just another commercial build
