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.

Experience leading contractors and subcontractors on active jobsites, with a track record of building accountability and maintaining a strong safety culture.
