Program Manager Jobs in Calera, AL (NOW HIRING)

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | Sr. Program Manager | EPC | Birmingham, AL

A Southeast-based construction and manufacturing company is hiring a key Senior Program Leader to own full P&L responsibility and strategic C-suite client relationships across complex building programs.  If you have 10+ years of complex project leadership at a respected AEC/EPC firm, a track record of running programs at scale, and you're energized by learning something genuinely new rather than doing the same thing you've always done, this is worth a conversation.

• Anticipate $160K-$190K+, based on experience
• Full benefits package: health coverage, 401(k), Equitable; full suite including dental, vision, FSA, PTO, short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
• Birmingham, Alabama (open to relocation); up to 25% travel to active program sites

OVERVIEW:

Program Leadership:

• Own program P&L with explicit margin accountability across assigned programs — accountable for financial outcomes, not oversight only
• Design, build, and right-size the program team; evaluate structure and capability gaps
• Develop and maintain C-suite-level client relationships; represent the company at the highest levels of client organizations
• Contribute to strategic pipeline decisions — input on which programs and clients the company pursues based on capacity, margin potential, and strategic fit
• Take direct control of programs in serious jeopardy — financial, schedule, or client-relationship crises — and drive them back to stable operation
• Establish program-wide standards for schedule, financial reporting, procurement, and stakeholder communication
• Present and defend Business Case Reviews to executive leadership
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Program Managers and Project Managers (4-12 depending on program size); accountable for their performance, retention, and growth

Field & Client Leadership:

• Represent the company at senior client-facing milestones and executive-level events
• Serve as the senior point of contact for C-suite client executives
• Serve as the final escalation point for major disputes, claims, and client issues
• Take direct field-level control of programs in crisis when senior intervention is required

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Engineering, Construction Management, Data Analytics, or related field
• 10+ years of relevant experience including demonstrated leadership of complex projects in construction (data centers, hospitals, high-rises, or comparable mission-critical/large-scale commercial programs)
• Demonstrated P&L accountability for programs totaling $100M+ in actively managed contract revenue
• Demonstrated C-suite-level client relationships during program delivery and crisis management
• Proven ability to build, restructure, and right-size a program team
• Strong financial acumen with explicit margin accountability
• Advanced scheduling proficiency across multiple platforms: MS Project, Primavera P6, and Smartsheet
• Advanced Microsoft Excel proficiency for program-level financial and operational analysis
• Genuine drive to implement and leverage technology in program management workflows

Preferred — strong differentiators:

• Experience leading data center, healthcare, or mission-critical programs
• Master's degree (MBA, Construction Management, Data Analytics, or similar)
• Relevant professional certification: PMP, ASHE CHC, LEED AP, or similar
• Working experience with Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or comparable data/analytics tools
• Experience directing ERP reporting strategy (Microsoft Dynamics Business Central or comparable)
• AI tool proficiency with demonstrated organizational adoption experience
• Construction, design-build, or integrated delivery environment experience
