Our firm is committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions in support of mission-critical programs for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies.

We are seeking a highly qualified and experienced DoD Senior Project Manager to lead client services and serve as a key operational liaison for a $1B, 10-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Architect-Engineer (A/E) Services Contract.

The candidate will also provide direct supervision and mentorship to a multidisciplinary team of engineers, construction managers, and technical professionals.

·      Facilitate ongoing communication and coordination among internal teams, clients, subcontractors, and senior leadership to ensure transparency and alignment.

·      Support strategic growth by identifying new task order opportunities, strengthening client relationships, and positioning the team for future work.
