About The Position

The Project Manager is responsible for leading and coordinating cross-functional project efforts spanning engineering, design, procurement, contracting, and construction to achieve defined project goals and objectives. This role requires a hands-on leader who can navigate ambiguity, take initiative, and drive projects forward with limited direction while maintaining accountability for outcomes. The Project Manager applies sound judgment, technical expertise, and practical experience to deliver high-quality results and ensure successful project execution. Senior-level Project Managers are expected to manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing competing priorities while maintaining a strong focus on performance, decision-making, and delivery excellence. This is a seconded position, meaning the selected candidate will be employed by ITAC but work full-time on assignment with one of our clients. While day-to-day responsibilities will be managed on-site with the client, ITAC provides ongoing support, resources, and benefits as your employer. This position is full time contract work anticipated to last through the end of 2026, and requires the employee to be on the client's Wilmington, NC site. Please only apply if these requirements are agreeable to you.
