About the Opportunity

A highly respected, Chicago-based general contractor is launching a dedicated Mission Critical division and is seeking a Senior Project Manager to join the founding leadership team.

This role offers the rare opportunity to help build a Mission Critical platform from the ground up within a well-established organization — with meaningful influence over delivery standards, team structure, and long-term growth strategy.

Why This Role Is Different

• Founding-team role within a newly formed Mission Critical division
• High visibility and direct access to executive leadership
• Opportunity to help define delivery systems, processes, and standards
• Strong backlog and a long-term commitment to Mission Critical growth
• Local Chicago / Illinois-based projects
• Competitive compensation and genuine long-term career upside not typically available in established departments

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Mission Critical and MEP-intensive projects from preconstruction through closeout
• Manage budgets, schedules, contracts, risk, and change management
• Coordinate owners, design teams, consultants, and trade partners
• Establish project controls, reporting, and communication standards
• Support early-stage team building and mentor future Project Managers
• Contribute to the long-term strategy and growth of the Mission Critical division

Ideal Background

• 10+ years of experience with a general contractor or construction management firm
• Direct experience delivering Mission Critical, data center, or similarly complex MEP-driven projects
• Strong understanding of commissioning, redundancy planning, QA/QC, and trade coordination
• Motivated by the opportunity to shape a new business unit

Location

• Chicago, IL
• Primarily local projects; limited travel required

Compensation & Growth

• Clear growth path into senior leadership as the division scales
