Design Project Manager

Location: Fort Worth, Texas

Employment Type: Full-Time, In-Office

We are seeking an experienced Design Project Manager to join our growing design-build team in Fort Worth, Texas.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced architecturally or engineering-trained professional who understands how multidisciplinary design documentation is developed, coordinated, reviewed, revised, and ultimately issued as a complete construction document package.

Our company designs and builds modular facilities for the federal government. Our work combines off-site modular construction with traditional site development, engineering, systems integration, and construction. The successful candidate will bring a strong foundation in traditional architecture or engineering and apply that experience within our integrated design-build environment.

This position will lead the construction document development and coordination for complex projects. Working closely with leadership, this individual will take primary responsibility for coordinating the development of the design and construction document packages across multiple projects simultaneously.

• Lead the development, coordination, review, and completion of multidisciplinary construction document packages.
• Establish and maintain the overall document-development schedule for multiple concurrent projects.
• Coordinate architectural and engineering information from internal and external design disciplines.
• Understand the purpose and relationship of the various drawings, specifications, calculations, schedules, details, equipment information, and other documentation that comprise a complete construction document package.
• Review documents for completeness, consistency, constructability, and coordination between disciplines.
• Identify missing, conflicting, or incomplete design information before it impacts the project schedule or construction.
• Coordinate changes across multiple disciplines and ensure revisions are incorporated accurately and on schedule.
• Assist with drafting and drawing revisions when necessary to support project coordination and document production.

• Receive, organize, track, and disseminate customer comments at multiple design milestones.
• Coordinate responses and required revisions with the appropriate disciplines.
• Review discipline responses for completeness and consistency.
• Prepare clear, concise, and technically appropriate responses to customer comments.
• Maintain comment-response tracking and ensure commitments are incorporated into subsequent design submissions.
• Recognize when a customer comment requires clarification, additional investigation, or a project-level decision.
• Work with company leadership to make timely decisions that balance customer requirements, design intent, constructability, schedule, and company interests.

The successful candidate will coordinate information from a broad range of disciplines and systems, which may include:

• Modular building engineering and manufacturing
• Structural engineering
• Civil/site design
• Mechanical engineering
• Electrical engineering
• Fire alarm systems
• Fire sprinkler systems
• Stairs, ramps, and accessibility systems
• Furniture and equipment
• Communications and technology systems
• Security systems
• Other specialty engineering and systems-integration disciplines

You will not be expected to independently design or engineer each discipline. You will be expected to understand enough about each discipline to recognize how the pieces fit together, identify coordination issues, ask the right questions, and ensure the appropriate professionals resolve them.

• Prepare, receive, distribute, track, and review design and material submittals.
• Review submittals for general compliance with project requirements and coordination with the design.
• Identify discrepancies between approved design documents, submittals, and proposed products or systems.
• Support the development of a coordinated and constructible design package through procurement and construction.

• Work closely with construction leadership to ensure design decisions support project execution.
• Participate in project kickoff meetings, design reviews, coordination meetings, and construction observations.
• Travel periodically to project sites, military installations, federal facilities, and other…
