Design Project Manager Jobs in Birmingham, AL (NOW HIRING)

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | PROJECT MANAGER | EPC | Birmingham, AL 

Alabama based construction and manufacturing company is hiring an experienced Project Manager to own the full lifecycle of complex building programs within an integrated design-manufacture-construct delivery model. This is not a traditional GC PM role — the person in this seat manages across design, manufacturing, and field construction simultaneously, owns the project financials end-to-end, presents performance at executive review, and leads the field during critical installation milestones.  If you have 4-8 years of PM experience, advanced Excel and scheduling proficiency across multiple platforms, and you're ready to own a program rather than manage a phase, this is a conversation worth having.
