The Senior Program Manager – Construction is responsible for leading VIRSIG's construction program from award through closeout. This remote role provides top-level oversight of active and pipeline construction projects, leads Project Managers, Superintendents, subcontractors, and support personnel, and owns cost, schedule, quality, safety, compliance, and customer outcomes across the construction portfolio.

This is a program leadership role, not a single-project assignment. The right candidate will bring ownership, discipline, judgment, and accountability while helping VIRSIG continue building a scalable, high-performing operations platform.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Program Leadership

Lead multiple concurrent construction and infrastructure projects globally. Establish project execution strategies, staffing plans, schedules, budgets, reporting cadence, and performance standards. Monitor project health, identify risk early, and intervene before cost, schedule, quality, or customer trust is impacted.

Team Leadership

Lead, mentor, and develop Project Managers, Superintendents, Site Leads, subcontractors, and independent contractors. Assign personnel based on project complexity, geography, clearance requirements, and individual capability. Set expectations, hold teams accountable, and support recruiting, onboarding, and performance management.

Construction Operations

Oversee construction activities including site preparation, renovations, infrastructure upgrades, low-voltage systems, communications systems, security infrastructure, mobilization, commissioning, turnover, and closeout. Ensure work is performed safely, professionally, and in accordance with contract requirements.

Estimating and Preconstruction

Collaborate with Sales team on construction estimating activities for proposals, task orders, ROMs, firm-fixed-price estimates, and change orders. Support quantity takeoffs, pricing, subcontractor/vendor quotes, constructability reviews, site visits, and proposal development. Coordinate with Procurement for formal buyout and purchasing after award.

Cost, Schedule, and Contract Management

Own program-level cost control, budgeting, forecasting, project financial reviews, billing milestones, labor utilization, subcontractor performance, and change order management. Ensure proper documentation, contract compliance, flow-down requirements, and timely corrective action.

Federal Compliance, Safety, and Quality

Ensure compliance with applicable federal construction requirements, including EM 385-1-1, OSHA, Davis-Bacon, certified payroll, contract documentation, and USACE three-phase quality control where applicable. Support audit readiness and disciplined recordkeeping.

Customer and Stakeholder Management

Serve as a senior point of contact for government customers, Contracting Officers, CORs, end users, primes, subcontractors, vendors, and internal leadership. Represent VIRSIG professionally in project meetings, progress reviews, executive briefings, and customer escalations.

Operational Excellence

Develop and improve project management processes, templates, workflows, SOPs, reporting tools, and project controls. Support implementation of systems such as Procore or similar tools. Help build repeatable processes that strengthen VIRSIG's ability to scale.

ESS and Technology Coordination

Coordinate with VIRSIG's Technology/Security program leadership when construction projects include ESS, access control, video surveillance, communications, or other integrated technology scopes. Ensure construction and technology teams operate as one unified VIRSIG team.
