We hold active MACC/IDIQ and task-order positions across NAVFAC, USACE, U.S. Air Force, NIH, NIST, GSA, and FBI programs, and we perform as both prime contractor and joint-venture partner. Our team of 40+ professionals delivers renovations, repairs, MEP upgrades, Design-Build (DB), and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) projects on active federal installations and facilities across Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Florida, Indiana, and Washington State.

We measure ourselves by our CPARS ratings, and we hire people who take the same pride in earning EXCELLENT and VERY GOOD evaluations.

CJW is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead federal construction projects from contract award through final closeout, financial reconciliation, and client performance evaluation. The Project Manager is the single point of accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality, safety, and client satisfaction, and plans, directs, and coordinates all project activities in line with company procedures, contract requirements, and federal regulations.

From the day of award, you take ownership of the project from the estimating team and move it quickly into a construction-ready state.

• Bid-to-award transition Receive and organize the bid package, review all drawings and specifications cover to cover (with close attention to Division
  1), and flag drawing/spec discrepancies for early RFIs.
• Proposal review and negotiation Review bid-day subcontractor and vendor proposals for scope completeness, exclusions, and budget gaps; negotiate and document agreed scope in writing; finalize selections within the first week after award.
• Bonds and insurance Notify the Contract Manager within one business day of award and confirm that performance and payment bonds and insurance reach the Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days.
• Baseline schedule Engage the P6 scheduler within one business day of award; provide durations, phasing, long-lead items, and client milestones; validate constructability with the Superintendent and key subcontractors.
• Team and access Assign and confirm the Superintendent, QC Manager, and SSHO; coordinate personnel letters, SECNAV 5512 / HSPD-12 access lists, and installation access; lead the internal kickoff and the government pre-construction meeting.

You drive the critical Day 11–30 window after Notice to Proceed and manage the design and submittal path for both delivery methods.

• Division 1 package Prepare and submit, on or before Day 30 after NTP, the baseline CPM schedule, Construction Quality Control (CQC) Plan, Accident Prevention Plan (APP), Schedule of Values, and remaining Division 1 items (List of Contact Personnel, Waste Management, Environmental Protection, Site Plan, IAQ where applicable, and the Submittal Register).
• Design-Build Manage the Designer of Record through 35%, 65%, 95%, and 100% IFC design milestones; identify and release long-lead items by 65% design; route government comments through formal change management rather than absorbing scope.
• Design-Bid-Build Build the full submittal register from the specifications, identify long-lead materials in the first two weeks, verify constructability of the issued design, and document existing conditions at mobilization to protect against differing-site-condition exposure.
• Trade submittals Enforce subcontractor submittal deadlines and track every item through government approval in RMS, eCMS, Kahua, PIEE, or Procore, as designated by the contract.

You buy out the project and hold subcontractors and suppliers accountable for scope, schedule, and quality.

• Prepare, issue, and execute all subcontracts and purchase orders through CJW's standard contract tools.
• Direct the Superintendent on day-to-day field priorities and hold subcontractors to their committed activity dates.
• Review and approve subcontractor and vendor pay requests against verified progress; manage scope changes and back-charges.
• Ensure subcontractor compliance with Davis-Bacon requirements, safety obligations, and insurance…
