Senior Regulatory Affairs Project Manager , MILCON

ICON is seeking a highly motivated and dedicated Sr. Regulatory Affairs Project Manager, MILCON to advance regulatory acceptance and business development across federal government and national security sectors, including the Department of Defense (DoD) and US national security agencies. Reporting to the Regulatory Program Manager, you'll execute public sector regulatory efforts, build critical relationships with government agencies, and expand the regulatory framework necessary to position ICON's 3D‑printed construction technology as the government's construction technology of choice.

You'll serve as the primary regulatory contact for government customers, federal agencies, ICON's customers and support technology product development, directly contributing to establishing a self‑supporting public sector business unit. This role is based in Austin, TX.

• Execute public sector regulatory efforts by aligning regulatory pathways with government building codes and standards. Accelerate adoption of concrete 3D‑printed construction across federal and state agencies, DoD military construction (MILCON), and intelligence community customers.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with federal technical groups – including USACE, NAVFAC, AFCEC, and other federal regulatory bodies – through presentations and technical engagement.
• Support business development requests by preparing technical proposals, delivering customer technical presentations, and technical demonstrations as needed.
• Serve as the primary regulatory contact for government projects and ICON customers working with federal agencies. Provide technical guidance, address regulatory questions, and resolve complex approval challenges.
• Lead regulatory acceptance and approval processes to incorporate ICON's technology into government building standards, including the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). Coordinate testing programs, manage agency interactions, and develop technical documentation that meets federal requirements.
• Coordinate regulatory testing and technology validation efforts required for federal market access. Ensure testing programs meet UFC requirements, support approval objectives, and align with project timelines.
• Conduct comprehensive federal code research and analysis to identify regulatory requirements, approval pathways, and potential barriers across UFC, federal building codes, and agency‑specific standards. Synthesize findings to inform business development strategy.
• Collaborate with internal technical teams – including testing, materials science, product engineering, and operations – to integrate federal regulatory requirements into product development; ensure validation efforts support approval pathways and resolve technical challenges that impact government acceptance.
• Work with internal teams to resolve post‑occupancy technical issues related to ICON's wall systems and building technology on government projects.
• Support development of quality control guidelines and requirements to ensure consistent regulatory compliance with federal requirements.
• Assist Program Manager in developing and influencing federal building codes, UFCs, and government policies that align with ICON's technology capabilities and promote 3D‑printed construction adoption across the public sector. Participate in federal technical committees and working groups related to innovative construction methods.
• Establish and maintain scalable regulatory processes, documentation systems, and security protocols that support federal contracting requirements and enable ICON to successfully compete for and execute government construction projects.
• Provide regular updates to the Regulatory Program Manager and company leadership on progress, regulatory challenges, approval timelines, emerging risks, and critical blockers that may impact business objectives.

• Bachelor's degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 6+ years of relevant professional experience in structural engineering, construction, or regulatory affairs with demonstrated expertise in building code…
