• Minimum 10 years of progressive project/program management experience in Defense, Heavy Industrial Construction, or Oil/Gas/Chemical sectors.

• Proven track record of developing complex cost estimates and defining technical requirements for large-scale industrial builds.
• Exceptional ability to influence and communicate with upper management and government stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s Degree in Engineering, MBA, or related field.

• Lead the translation of business needs into detailed technical requirements. Develop and validate high-accuracy cost estimates and resource plans for internal investment approval.
• Determine and manage the most effective construction delivery methods (e.g., Design-Build, Design-Bid-Build, CM-at-Risk) based on project constraints and organizational goals.
• Establish and maintain rigorous performance baselines. Use Earned Value Management (EVM) to measure schedule and cost variance, providing predictive analysis to executive leadership.
• Manage the full financial lifecycle of internal investments, ensuring strict budget adherence and optimal allocation of capital.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for executive leadership and government customers, delivering transparent, data-driven reports on program health and risk.
