Project Manager
About The Position
We’re seeking Project Managers at various levels to support long-range development initiatives for large, complex public transit environments. These roles focus on coordinating and advancing program-level initiatives that support infrastructure maintenance, system integration, and overall program delivery. These are not traditional construction management roles. They are centered on physical infrastructure and operational environments, with a focus on program coordination, stakeholder alignment, and implementation of processes and procedures within transit or rail settings. This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need. This post targets the greater Washington DC metro/DMV area.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, business, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- 7+ years relevant work experience supporting large-scale, complex infrastructure projects in passenger transit (bus or rail), including experience within transit agencies, operators, or similar physical asset-based environments.
- Experience managing or coordinating programs involving physical infrastructure systems within transit or rail environments (e.g., signaling systems such as ATC or CBTC, communications systems, or similar infrastructure systems).
- Experience coordinating across engineering, operations, and maintenance stakeholders within infrastructure or transit environments.
- Experience supporting development or implementation of program-level processes, procedures, or governance frameworks.
- Experience using program management or project controls tools such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, eBuilder, Procore, or similar platforms to support planning, tracking, and reporting within infrastructure programs.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).

- Experience working directly with engineering, operations, or maintenance teams supporting communications or signaling systems within transit or rail environments.
- Familiarity with signaling systems (e.g., ATC, CBTC) or communications infrastructure (e.g., fiber, radio, SCADA, CCTV).
- Proficiency with Microsoft Power BI, Oracle Cloud Analytics, or other dashboard KPI reporting software.
Responsibilities
- Support planning and execution of program initiatives related to communications and signaling systems, infrastructure maintenance, and long-range system improvements.
