A national infrastructure services contractor is hiring a Project Manager in Houston to run power delivery projects through the full EPC and design-build cycle. You’ll own the job from early development through closeout.

What you’ll do

• Run projects from development through execution, owning schedule, budget, scope, and client relationships
• Build the initial project schedule with engineering, estimating, project controls, procurement, and construction

• Develop subcontractor and vendor scopes and schedule exhibits, and drive purchase order and subcontract packages through award
• Own monthly financial reviews, project review reports, and closeouts for management and senior leadership
• Manage RFIs and submittals through the document management system
• Work with Safety on the project-specific safety plan, incident reporting, and investigations
• Track design, procurement, and construction progress and get ahead of problems
• Lead closeout, warranty administration, post-construction cost review, and lessons learned
• Mentor and delegate to Assistant Project Managers on your team

Who should apply

• You’ve managed construction projects with real ownership of cost and schedule, not just coordination
• You understand how engineering, procurement, and construction fit together on an integrated EPC or design-build job

• You can read a cost report and explain a variance to a client or a VP

• You’re comfortable traveling up to 50% as projects require

Strong plus

• Power delivery experience: substation, transmission, or distribution
• Prior EPC or design-build background
• Familiarity with estimating, scheduling, and project management software

What you’ll get

• Competitive compensation
• 401(k) through Fidelity with an immediate company match (100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 3%), always fully vested
• Medical, dental, and vision, including PPO and HDHP options with an employer HSA contribution
• Company-paid short and long term disability, and basic life and AD&D at two times annual earnings
