  • Ability to navigate complex regulatory environments with precision and integrity.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities in fast-paced settings and exceed client expectations.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to mentoring and team development.
  • Deep understanding of consulting business operations and a drive to contribute to firm-wide success.

Responsibilities 

  • Lead full lifecycle project management for federal projects, including those for military installations, VA campuses, and other government facilities.
  • Define project scopes, schedules, and budgets in collaboration with technical teams, and oversee execution to ensure financial success and timely delivery.
  • Assemble and manage multidisciplinary teams, aligning technical expertise with project goals and federal requirements.
  • Serve as the primary liaison with clients and stakeholders, ensuring compliance with UFC, DoD, VA, and other applicable federal standards.
  • Manage contracts, change orders, and risk mitigation strategies to minimize financial and operational impacts.
  • Oversee the preparation and delivery of technical documentation, including design plans, specifications, cost estimates, and federal RFP responses.
  • Lead design reviews and implement quality assurance plans to meet client expectations and regulatory standards.
  • Maintain organized project records, including correspondence, design files, and performance documentation.
  • Cultivate strong client relationships through proactive communication and exceptional service to support future opportunities.
  • Mentor junior staff and contribute to process improvements that enhance project delivery and team performance.

Why Join Us

  • Contribute to projects that serve national interests and make a difference in communities.
  • Enjoy flexible work arrangements, including remote options, to support your work-life balance.
  • Thrive in a supportive culture that values professional development and teamwork.
