About the Role
Superior Skilled Trades is partnered with a company seeking a Senior Project Manager to provide strategic leadership across multiple concurrent, mission-critical structural steel programs. This role is responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of engineered steel building systems—from pre-construction and design coordination through fabrication, logistics, erection, and commissioning.
The Senior Project Manager provides strategic oversight and direction for multiple concurrent mission-critical infrastructure projects, supporting large-scale data center and industrial programs. This role is responsible for leading project execution from pre-construction through commissioning, with full accountability for structural steel and the expansion into additional disciplines and scopes.
Operating at a senior level, the position drives portfolio performance across schedule, cost, quality, and risk, while aligning cross-functional teams including engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction. The Senior Project Manager plays a key role in shaping project strategy, guiding complex decision-making, and ensuring scalable, consistent delivery across a rapidly growing portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
●Develop and own senior-level execution strategies, including master schedules, budgets, resource plans, and risk registers that align with hyperscale client demands for speed, redundancy, and scalability.
●Lead and mentor a cross-functional team of Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Design Managers while maintaining direct ownership of the most complex and strategic projects within the portfolio.
●Direct full-cycle project delivery for structural steel and additional scopes and disciplines, ensuring seamless handoffs between design, procurement, fabrication, and erection.
●Conduct high-level customer document analysis and lead the development of senior-level estimates, proposals, and value-engineering recommendations that secure competitive advantage in bid processes.
●Manage senior client and stakeholder relationships through executive reporting, governance meetings, and proactive escalation resolution to build long-term portfolio partnerships.
●Oversee program-wide performance against hyperscale KPIs (schedule compression, cost predictability, quality, safety, and sustainability metrics), identifying systemic risks and driving enterprise-level mitigation strategies.
●Champion continuous improvement initiatives across the division, including adoption of hyperscale best practices, digital tools (BIM 360, Procor Primavera P6), and lessons-learned processes that elevate overall delivery capability.
Qualifications
●Education: Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Civil Engineering, or a related technical field. Master’s degree preferred.
●Certifications: PMP preferred.
●Experience: 10+ years of progressive project leadership experience in data centers or large-scale industrial construction, with significant focus on structural steel.
●Proven success managing multi-project portfolios and delivering hyperscale or mission-critical programs on aggressive schedules.
●Strong expertise in structural steel design, fabrication, and erection processes, plus familiarity with expanding into additional construction disciplines.
●Advanced proficiency with scheduling tools (Primavera P6), BIM platforms, and project management software (Procore or equivalent).
