EPC Construction Project Manager

As part of the EPC organization, this team designs, collaborates, and builds the first home of Optimus while supporting critical vehicle programs. The EPC Construction Project Manager shapes projects from feasibility through closeout: early budgeting and scheduling, contractor selection and mobilization, field execution (contracted and self-performed), and disciplined reporting on schedule, cost, and risk. You will close out RFIs with Engineering, Quality, Commissioning, and Manufacturing; hold contractors and subcontractors to deliverables; and own execution schedules and budgets end to end.

• Reporting & risk — Deliver accurate, timely updates on schedule, budget, risks, and KPIs for all work under your control
