AECOM seeks an experienced Program Manager to lead multidisciplinary teams delivering complex engineering, design, and infrastructure projects for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories and specialized nuclear research facilities. The successful candidate will provide overall program leadership, technical oversight, client relationship management, and contractual and financial accountability for projects supporting nuclear research, fusion energy, and specialized laboratory facilities.

This role requires demonstrated leadership of capital building programs, including the planning, design, construction, and modernization of complex research and laboratory facilities. Candidates should have direct responsibility for delivering building and infrastructure capital projects through multidisciplinary architecture, engineering, and construction teams—not solely managing scientific research, equipment development, or laboratory operations.

Our DOE clients expect us to bring the best people, ideas, technical expertise, and digital solutions to complex scientific and research facilities. AECOM's approach integrates engineering excellence, nuclear safety, operational continuity, and innovative project delivery to advance critical national research missions. The candidate may work within the cities listed in the posting but will be expected to travel to DOE facilities periodically, including for extended periods as required to support program execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading capital building programs from planning and design through construction, commissioning, and turnover, with accountability for scope, budget, schedule, and delivery outcomes
• Managing and leading complex, multidisciplinary engineering and design programs for DOE national laboratories, nuclear facilities, or comparable federal research institutions
• Successfully delivering projects of comparable scope and complexity involving nuclear, radiological, or highly specialized scientific facilities
• Managing Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs), task orders, and federal engineering contracts
• Leading multidisciplinary technical teams across structural, mechanical, electrical, process, instrumentation and controls, and nuclear engineering disciplines
• Demonstrating working knowledge of DOE nuclear safety requirements, including NQA-1 quality assurance standards and Documented Safety Analysis (DSA) requirements
• Overseeing engineering activities supporting nonreactor nuclear facilities, radiological…
