Senior Project Manager

Teklus Construction • Reno, NV

5d • $150,000 - $190,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Teklus Construction is hiring a Senior Project Manager / Project Management Lead to take ownership of a large, complex, mission-critical construction project in Northern Nevada — from preconstruction and estimating through construction, turnover, and closeout. This senior role also includes direct leadership of our project-management team. We're looking for a proven construction leader who can independently take ownership of a project, build the systems needed for success, and drive execution forward with limited oversight, someone equally strong in the field as in preconstruction, who delivers safely, on schedule, and on budget. This is not a coordinator or assistant-level position.

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressively responsible commercial or industrial construction management experience
• 5+ years in a Senior Project Manager, Project Executive, Preconstruction Manager, or comparable leadership role
• Demonstrated experience leading large, complex, fast-paced construction projects
• Experience managing multiple Project Managers or a project-management team
• Strong knowledge of contracts, cost control, scheduling, and change management
• Proficiency with construction-management, estimating, and scheduling software
• Ability to work on-site in the Reno–Sparks area and travel as required

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with data centers, mission-critical facilities, advanced manufacturing, or semiconductor construction
• Experience with negotiated, design-build, or CM-at-risk delivery methods
• Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, Primavera P6, or comparable platforms
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field
• OSHA 30, PMP, CCM, DBIA, or LEED AP certification

Responsibilities

• Lead the project through preconstruction, estimating, and procurement planning into full construction execution
• Prepare and validate estimates, budgets, and cost plans; lead constructability reviews and value-engineering
• Lead subcontractor buyout, bid leveling, and proposal evaluation
• Own the full project-management plan: budget, schedule, procurement, staffing, risk, quality, and closeout
• Direct day-to-day field execution — trade partners, MEP/controls scopes, equipment deliveries, and commissioning
• Serve as primary client point of contact; build trust through proactive communication
• Supervise the Project Manager assigned to this project and lead across the broader PM team
• Coach and develop Project Managers while holding them accountable for results
• Manage project budget, forecasts, and cost-to-complete projections; drive profitability targets
• Manage change orders, notices, and claims documentation
• Develop and enforce the project schedule; develop recovery plans as needed
• Coordinate quality control and commissioning appropriate to mission-critical work
• Champion an incident-free safety culture with EHS and field leadership

Benefits

• $150,000–$190,000/year, depending on experience
• Benefits package
• Full project ownership and real decision-making authority
• A direct path to lead and grow Teklus's project-management organization
