The Project Manager is an experienced structural engineer responsible for the day-to-day management and execution of structural engineering projects under the oversight of a Project Executive. The Project Manager leads project teams and manages project scope, fee and budget, schedule, staffing, technical execution, coordination, client communication, and overall project performance from project initiation through construction.

Project Managers balance technical leadership with project management responsibilities and serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for clients and project stakeholders. They are expected to anticipate project needs, identify potential issues, effectively direct project resources, and communicate with the Project Executive when significant technical, contractual, financial, schedule, or client-related issues arise.

• Manage structural engineering projects from project initiation through design, documentation, permitting, and construction-phase services under the oversight of a Project Executive.
• Establish and manage project scope, fee and budget, schedule, staffing, deliverables, and project execution plans in accordance with contractual requirements and client expectations.
• Monitor project financial performance, including labor expenditures, remaining fee, staffing projections, and progress toward completion, and make adjustments to the project plan as necessary.
• Understand the contracted scope of services and identify changes in scope, additional services, or client requests that may affect project fee or schedule. Communicate these items to the Project Executive and assist with developing appropriate additional service proposals.
• Develop project schedules and establish internal milestones and priorities necessary to meet client and project deliverable dates.
• Plan and coordinate project staffing and workload, including assigning work to Project Engineers and BIM/modeling team members based on project needs, schedule, and team capabilities.
• Lead the day-to-day project team by communicating priorities, providing direction, monitoring progress, and ensuring engineering and BIM/modeling efforts remain coordinated.
• Provide technical leadership for structural analysis and design and assist the project team with resolution of complex engineering, modeling, detailing, constructability, and coordination issues.
• Review structural calculations, analysis models, drawings, specifications, and other engineering deliverables for technical accuracy, completeness, consistency, and conformance with project requirements and Apex standards.
• Lead structural coordination with architects, MEP/FP consultants, contractors, fabricators, and other project participants and facilitate resolution of multidisciplinary coordination issues.
• Review architectural, MEP/FP, and other discipline documents to understand…
