Job Description
Project Manager In Federal Construction
This is an opportunity for a Project Manager who wants to do more than deliver projects-they want to make an impact. Join an established general contracting and construction management firm with a strong portfolio of government, municipal, institutional, commercial, and infrastructure projects. In this role, you will take ownership of complex public-sector construction initiatives, lead multidisciplinary teams, build trusted client relationships, and drive results that matter. You will have the autonomy to make critical decisions, the responsibility to lead projects from concept through completion, and the opportunity to help shape outcomes that serve public agencies and local communities. We are looking for a proactive, commercially minded leader who can turn challenges into solutions, elevate project performance, and leave a lasting mark on every project they lead.
Job Description
- Manage federal, VA, and public-sector construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout.
