We're looking for a Construction Manager to lead the technical execution of our projects — from buyout through closeout. You'll own subcontractor management, drawing review, field coordination, cost control, and quality of the finished work.

This is a growth role. FCI is growing, and the right Construction Manager will grow with us — into Senior Construction Manager, Director of Construction, and beyond as the company expands.

Primary Responsibilities: Subcontractor Management

• Hold subcontractors accountable to scope, schedule, quality, and safety
• Resolve field conflicts, scope gaps, and coordination issues between trades
• Review and approve subcontractor pay applications based on work in place

Project Execution

• Read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents
• Lead constructability review during preconstruction — catch scope gaps before they hit the field
• Coordinate trade sequencing, site logistics, and phasing with the General Superintendent
• Walk sites regularly, resolve issues in real time, and keep projects moving
• Work closely with FCI's Project Management Team

Estimation, Cost & Schedule

• Own project cost from buyout through closeout
• Track committed costs, projected final costs, and margin
• Manage change order pricing and scope control to protect margin
• Build realistic schedules and drive recovery plans when projects slip

Quality, Safety & Closeout

• Enforce FCI's safety program and applicable OSHA/EM385 standards
• Coordinate with our Quality Control Managers on QC standards and testing
• Lead punch list resolution, closeout documentation, and final turnover

What We're Looking For: Required:

• Minimum 5 years of federal construction management
• Experience running commercial AND federal projects in the $1M – $10M range
• Strong drawing and specification reading (architectural, structural, MEP)
• Subcontractor management experience — buyout, coordination, accountability
• Comfort with cost tracking, change orders, and margin discipline
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Willingness to grow — take on more responsibility, learn federal construction, and step into leadership

Preferred:

• Federal construction experience (USACE, NAVFAC, VA, GSA, or agency direct)
• OSHA 30, EM385, or CSSHO certification
• Construction software fluency
• Growing subcontractor network in the DC / NCR market
• Engineering or construction management degree

Why FCI

• Growing federal contractor
• Opportunity to grow into senior leadership as the company expands
• Veteran-owned business committed to mission and team
