Senior Project Manager

Project Executive/Director of Operations

Operations

Full time, Exempt

The Senior Project Manager oversees a portfolio of larger or more complex projects — often leading a team of Project Managers and their staff — and holds the highest level of combined project and people leadership below Project Executive. This is a people-management-designated role built around leading other Project Managers and their teams, not solely running an individual project. The Senior Project Manager is a trusted advisor to clients, a mentor to rising talent, and a driver of consistent operational excellence across every job in the portfolio.

This individual carries formal supervisory responsibility for one or more Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, and/or Project Engineers, including performance evaluation, coaching, staffing decisions, and input into hiring, promotion, and compensation for direct reports. Success in this role is measured not only by the financial and schedule performance of the portfolio, but by the strength and readiness of the team behind it.

The following statements describe the general nature and level of work performed by individuals assigned to this position. They are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, and skills required.

• Oversee delivery of multiple projects or a major program, ensuring budget, schedule, and quality objectives are met across the full portfolio
• Set standards for project execution, documentation, and reporting across the portfolio, and audit projects periodically for compliance
• Serve as the primary escalation point for complex project, contract, or client issues, and drive timely resolution
• Lead pre-construction planning, constructability reviews, and buyout strategy for major or high-risk projects
• Monitor project schedules at the portfolio level and proactively intervene where delays or resource conflicts threaten milestones
• Champion quality control and safety programs across all projects in the portfolio, partnering with site leadership and EHS staff
• Review and negotiate owner and subcontractor contracts, ensuring terms protect the company's interests and support project execution
• Serve as the day-to- day lead on joint venture (JV) projects, coordinating scope, staffing, and decision making between JV partner firms.

• Calibrate performance and compensation recommendations across direct reports in partnership with the Director of Operations
• Lead staffing and workload-balancing decisions across the portfolio, aligning talent to project complexity and client needs
