Project Manager, Project & Program Management

Mission Critical Construction - Richmond, VA

The Opportunity

A major US contractor is growing its mission critical team in Richmond.

The company has several large-scale projects underway, including developments valued at more than $1 billion, with significant further growth planned across the business.

That growth is creating opportunities for experienced Project Managers to take on larger responsibilities and progress quickly as the team continues to build.

The business is interested in strong construction professionals who have delivered complex projects and want to apply that experience within the mission critical sector.

The Role

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for the commercial and operational delivery of significant project scopes.

You will work closely with senior project leadership, Superintendents, Systems Managers, clients and trade partners from preconstruction through to completion.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing project cost, forecasting and financial performance
• Overseeing contracts, procurement and trade partner relationships
• Managing project risk and resolving commercial or operational issues
• Working with field leadership to maintain programme and project momentum
• Coordinating with clients, consultants and other project stakeholders
• Supporting project planning and preconstruction activities
• Leading and developing members of the project team
• Managing project delivery through completion and closeout

Your Background

Data center experience would be useful, but it is not essential.

The team is open to Project Managers from a range of complex construction backgrounds, including:

• Commercial
• Advanced manufacturing
• Institutional

The key requirement is experience managing complex construction work and the ability to take ownership of project outcomes.

You will ideally have:

• Experience delivering significant construction projects from start to finish
• Strong commercial and financial awareness
• Experience managing subcontractors and multiple project stakeholders
• Sound judgement and practical problem-solving skills
• The ability to lead and develop a project team

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to move into the mission critical sector without having to start again at the bottom of a new industry.

The company is actively investing in its growth and has committed to creating opportunities for people to take on greater responsibility as the team expands.

For the right Project Manager, that means exposure to larger, more complex projects and a clear opportunity for accelerated career growth.
