GENERAL SCOPE:
We are seeking a seasoned Construction Project Manager to lead the successful planning and execution of a national portfolio of land and site development projects. Our client is a large technology company for whom we manage several thousand acres across multiple geographical locations. This role requires deep technical expertise in site readiness—including utilities, infrastructure, permitting, and environmental compliance—as well as strategic oversight of cost, schedule, risk, and quality across multiple concurrent projects. The ideal candidate thrives in complex, multi-stakeholder environments, is comfortable operating in remote geographies, and has a proven track record managing large-scale infrastructure and site development programs. These projects are being developed as site-ready and vertical construction is not part of the scope. The Project Manager is an integral member of our team, supporting the Company’s mission and core values by delivering high-quality, timely services to our clients. This position will serve as an extension of our team, with primary responsibility for planning, managing, and executing demolition projects safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all applicable regulations. In addition to managing projects and vendors, key responsibilities include overseeing bid processes, permitting, site safety compliance, environmental stewardship, project financials, and reporting. The Project Manager will ensure that all work meets client expectations and industry standards while maintaining superior client service and project team management.
