Senior Project Manager ($143K–$150K+)

A high number of candidates may make applications for this position, so make sure to send your CV and application through as soon as possible.

Scout is partnering with a family-owned design-build construction platform based in Metro Detroit to deliver mission-critical facilities, including automotive testing, defense-adjacent infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, data centers, and lab/R&D, on projects ranging from $50M to $150M+. This is a company with serious momentum and a national expansion underway, adding senior leadership to help scale it.

Compensation & Logistics

• Base salary: $143K–$150K+
• Project-based performance bonus opportunity
• Vehicle or truck allowance, plus per diem and travel support
• Based in Metro Detroit, with regular project site presence and travel as the platform grows nationally

The Role

• Full P&L ownership of a single large-scale, technically complex project at a time, not a spread portfolio
• Own the complete lifecycle: design development, preconstruction, buyout, construction execution, commissioning, closeout, and warranty
• Operate in a true design-build capacity: this team's leaders work directly with the design side, not just alongside it, often running both the construction team and the design effort on a project
• Deliver in a fast-track environment, where drawings are frequently released in phases as construction proceeds. xhyhwjd The schedule is a tool to drive to, not a document to wait on

What You'll Work On

• Automotive testing and R&D environments, including dynamometer and test cell facilities and anechoic chambers
• Defense-adjacent and advanced manufacturing facilities
• Data centers, lab, cleanroom, and technical research environments

What You Bring

• 8–10+ years of progressive commercial or industrial construction project management experience, with full P&L ownership on complex projects
• Technical fluency across civil, MEP, and process systems: a background spanning design, estimating, and construction, not construction alone
• Comfort operating in a design-build capacity; experience running or closely partnering with a design team is a strong plus
• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Structural, or Mechanical Engineering preferred; Construction Management also welcome. Candidates from an architectural or engineering background are encouraged to apply
• Fluency in CPM scheduling and predecessor logic
• Willingness to travel as projects expand outside Michigan
• OSHA 30, PMP, DBIA, or LEED AP a plus, not required
