Principal Construction Project Manager, Maritime (East Coast)

Washington, District of Columbia, United States

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Design & Construction team at Anduril delivers the factories, labs, offices, and secure spaces that enable our teams to design, build, and deploy advanced defense technology. Our projects span high-performance manufacturing facilities, mission-critical secure environments, and collaborative workspaces, giving our team exposure to a uniquely wide variety of technical and operational challenges. More than just delivering buildings, we are (literally) rebuilding the American defense industrial base. Our work directly accelerates how quickly critical technology moves from concept to production and into the hands of the warfighter.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Senior Construction Project Manager to join our rapidly growing team. This position sits within the broader Design & Construction (D&C) team, and is responsible for bringing our various cutting‑edge factories, offices, and secure spaces to life. We collaborate with a variety of stakeholders involved in shaping the built environment needed to enable Anduril’s mission (construction managers, architects, industrial engineers, real‑estate planners, finance analysts, and many more). First and foremost, we deeply listen to what our Division Leaders need.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

External Project Management and Coordination: Maintain strong relationships with contractors, consultants, vendors, and regulatory agencies. Collaborate closely with external project management teams to ensure alignment of construction activities with overall project objectives. Facilitate regular meetings with external project managers to discuss project updates, resource allocation, and potential challenges. Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for all construction‑related matters. Advise in all phases of any given project: programming, design, pre‑construction, closeout, and operations – not just construction. Communicate project progress, challenges, and solutions to senior management and other key internal stakeholders. Work cross‑functionally with non‑construction functions like Security, Network Engineering, Facilities Management, Marketing, Kitchen Operations, Manufacturing, EHS, Legal, and many others. Budget and Financial Oversight: Develop and manage budgets for construction and maintenance projects: everything from large greenfield projects to small one‑day capital improvements. Work closely with Finance/FP&A for cash flow forecasting. Prepare and present financial reports to senior executives. Develop and implement creative contracting structures that align incentives, reduce change order disputes, and set up projects for success. Establish commercial terms that drive transparency, predictability, and fairness throughout the project lifecycle. Structure contracts to appropriately allocate risk, protect the company’s interests, and minimize potential disputes. Gather (and help define) user requirements for nascent construction projects. Generate accurate cost estimates at all stages of a project lifecycle (concept, test fits, schematic designs, construction drawings, etc.). Manage relationships with consultants, regional contractors, and suppliers as needed to support individual project cost estimates. Help build our historical cost database to inform every future project.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

In‑depth knowledge of construction means and methods, materials, MEP systems and building codes. Effective communication and interpersonal skills. Competency in CPM scheduling methods, construction document review, and contract administration. Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time to support a project or team meetings.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience with advanced manufacturing‑related projects. Excel proficiency: You can work quickly, you’re organized, and you build models that others can easily and intuitively pick up. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field. Experience with ICD‑705 and TEMPEST‑related policies and guidance is welcome.
