About The Position

As a Global Strategic Accounts – Mission Critical Project Manager for ALC, you will lead the execution of large-scale, mission-critical building automation and controls projects. This role is intended for a high-level project leader who can step into high-risk, high-visibility work and drive predictable delivery in safety, schedule, quality, and financial performance. This is a Global Strategic Accounts position and is not tied to a specific region. You will be assigned locally to support project execution where it is most critical to project success. The Global Strategic Accounts – Mission Critical Project Manager is deployed to projects requiring high-level execution leadership, stabilization, or recovery support. You will provide on-site presence during critical phases of major programs and serve as a local resource to branch teams that need additional expertise, governance, and customer-facing leadership. This role is highly visible and requires the ability to operate at both the strategic and execution levels - supporting branch teams while directly influencing outcomes on major, complex projects.
