A bit about us: We are an established and growing general contractor with a national footprint and a significant portfolio of federal construction work. Our teams deliver complex design-build, design-bid-build, vertical, horizontal and infrastructure projects for federal and government clients throughout the United States.

With continued growth and new project awards, we are seeking an experienced Federal Project Director to provide leadership across our federal construction portfolio.

  • Direct exposure to executive leadership
  • Opportunity to oversee multiple project teams and major federal programs
  • Competitive and flexible executive-level compensation

  • Long-term opportunity to help shape and grow a federal construction division

Job Details We are seeking a Federal Project Director with extensive experience working for a general contractor performing federal construction. The successful candidate will oversee multiple projects and project teams while helping drive the execution and continued growth of our federal portfolio.

Responsibilities will include:

Provide executive oversight across multiple concurrent federal construction projects

Lead and mentor Project Managers, Superintendents and project teams

Oversee project budgets, schedules, cost controls, forecasting and overall financial performance

Ensure successful execution from preconstruction and mobilization through closeout

Manage relationships with federal clients, contracting officers, design partners, subcontractors and other stakeholders

Provide oversight of design-build and design-bid-build project delivery

Support pursuits, proposals, estimating, staffing plans and project strategy

Manage work performed under IDIQ, MATOC, MACC and other federal contract vehicles

Ensure compliance with federal contracting requirements, safety standards, quality-control programs and contractual requirements

Assist executive leadership with resource planning, operational strategy and continued growth of the federal construction portfolio

Travel regularly to active projects and client locations

Qualifications:

Approximately 10+ years of federal construction experience

Significant experience working for a general contractor/federal contractor

Demonstrated experience managing federal construction projects and/or programs

Experience overseeing multiple projects and project teams simultaneously

Strong understanding of federal construction contracting and project delivery

Experience with USACE, NAVFAC, DoD, USAF, GSA or similar federal clients strongly preferred

Experience with IDIQ, MATOC, MACC, SATOC or similar task-order contracting environments preferred

Design-build experience strongly preferred

Strong understanding of project controls, scheduling, budgeting, cost management, subcontractor management and risk

Ability and willingness to travel nationally as project needs require

Important screening distinction: Candidates whose federal experience comes exclusively from working directly for USACE or another government agency will not be considered. The position requires meaningful contractor/GC-side federal construction experience.
