About The Position

The Senior Project Manager is part of a leadership team responsible for delivering world-class client service through day-to-day project management. The role develops project plans outlining tasks, timelines, and resources; communicates with stakeholders; manages risk; and monitors progress against the schedule. It leads project administration, coordination, financial reporting, team development, project close-out, and client and industry relationships. The Senior Project Manager also helps secure new work, recruits and retains talent, supports an inclusive and diverse workplace, and promotes safety on project sites. This is an active, hands-on position with significant time on construction sites as well as office work. Site conditions may include changing weather, moderate to loud noise, uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, hoists, elevated or confined spaces, and moving mechanical equipment. The position is physically demanding and requires flexibility to work extended hours during critical project phases, deadlines, or emergencies, and to respond to time-sensitive communications outside regular hours. Clark requires a pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and conducts random quarterly tests.
