Pre Registration Remote Jobs in Wheaton, IL (NOW HIRING)

Remote (EST Hours) | Contract-to-Hire (90 Days) Location: Fully Remote (U.S.) | Client based in North Carolina

Our client, a leading technology company, is investing over $500M in capital projects across a large corporate campus environment. We are seeking a Program Integration & Controls Director to serve as the central coordination point across multiple concurrent construction and infrastructure projects.

This is not a traditional scheduler role. The ideal candidate will bring deep program controls expertise, construction project management experience, and the ability to identify risks, dependencies, and logistical conflicts across a portfolio of projects before they impact cost, schedule, or operations.

You will act as an extension of the owner's PMO, providing executive-level visibility into project performance, schedule integration, risk management, and cross-project coordination.

• Develop and maintain an integrated master program schedule across multiple active campus projects.
• Identify and manage dependencies, interfaces, risks, and conflicts between concurrent construction and infrastructure initiatives.
• Lead program-level schedule reviews and validate project assumptions, milestones, and critical path activities.
• Create and maintain program controls tools including:
  • Risk Registers
  • Dependency Registers
  • Interface Logs
  • Decision Logs
  • Milestone Trackers
  • Executive Dashboards
• Assess project impacts and communicate risks, mitigation plans, and recovery options to leadership.
• Facilitate coordination meetings with project teams, contractors, vendors, facilities, IT, and other stakeholders.
• Support executive reporting by translating detailed project information into clear, actionable insights.
• Monitor project readiness, resource constraints, operational impacts, and schedule health across the campus portfolio.

• 15+ years of experience in construction, program controls, project management, or capital program delivery.
• Experience managing complex, multi-project portfolios in a corporate campus, commercial, healthcare, manufacturing, or similarly complex environment.
• Strong understanding of:
  • Program Controls
  • Schedule Management
  • Risk Management
  • Capital Project Delivery
  • Stakeholder Management
• Ability to identify downstream schedule and operational impacts across interconnected projects.
• Experience developing and maintaining risk registers and executive-level reporting.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to challenge assumptions and drive accountability across teams.

• Experience working for a General Contractor.
• Commercial construction experience.
• PMP certification.
• Advanced CPM scheduling knowledge (Primavera P6 experience is a plus, but not required).

• A single, trusted view of program schedules, milestones, and risks.
• Proactive identification of conflicts before they become schedule delays or cost impacts.
• Clear executive reporting that supports informed decision-making.
• Effective coordination across multiple projects, vendors, and stakeholders.
• Consistent risk management and dependency tracking throughout the program lifecycle.

• Remote: Fully remote; candidates may reside anywhere in the U.S.
• Hours: 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM or 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST
