Description
SAIC is pleased to present this opening for a Site Lead / Project Manager in Colorado Springs, Colorado, directly supporting the NORAD and NORTHCOM Information Technology Enterprise Services (NITES) contract.
The successful candidate will lead critical mission-support activities, initially focusing on a high-visibility site extension project before transitioning into a long-term lifecycle and project manager role. This position requires a dynamic leader capable of executing complex systems engineering, infrastructure build-outs, and sustained technical assurance for the Department of War's most critical command and control environments.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Site Lead / Project Manager will serve as the central coordination point for multi-disciplinary groups of system administrators, network engineers, and infrastructure technologists. Your primary objective is to facilitate a seamless infrastructure expansion under the NITES contract while preparing the site for steady-state Operations and Maintenance (O&M) tasking.
This role demands a high degree of collaborative leadership. You must possess the ability to unite diverse technical groups, influence stakeholders without direct authority, and ensure cross-functional alignment with NORAD/NORTHCOM mission requirements. Rather than direct personnel management, this position focuses on driving project success through strategic coordination, relationship building, and interdepartmental collaboration.
RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Project Execution: Synchronize multiple, concurrent infrastructure build-outs and change initiatives while ensuring strict adherence to Statements of Work (SOW).
• Strategic Planning: Develop comprehensive project schedules, resource cost estimates, and infrastructure requirements to meet mission deadlines.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Integrate activities across diverse technical teams (Network, Systems, Telecomm) to align workstreams without the need for direct personnel management.
• Performance Monitoring: Track project progress against established baselines and transparently communicate variances, risks, and mitigation strategies to leadership.
• Governance & Compliance: Manage adherence to all IT governance standards, policies, and security protocols through the use of approved enterprise tools and templates.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Facilitate interdepartmental meetings to drive task completion, resolve technical conflicts, and ensure organizational alignment.
• Risk Management: Proactively identify and manage project risks and issues, ensuring deliverables remain within budgetary and scheduling constraints.
• Process Optimization: Drive the evolution of project management best practices and tools to enhance organizational efficiency and mission readiness.
• Documentation: Maintain concise, professional documentation of all project activities and conduct post-implementation evaluations to refine future lifecycle efforts.
• Lifecycle Transition: Coordinate the handover of completed infrastructure projects to steady-state O&M teams, ensuring full operational continuity.

TYPICAL EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Bachelors and 9 years or more experience;
QUALIFICATIONS/EDUCATION/SKILLS:

• Education: Bachelor's Degree or higher (4 years of additional experience in lieu of degree will be considered).

• Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with infrastructure technologies, including Telecomm, Networking, Server/Storage, Virtualization, and IT Security to effectively converse with and coordinate technical teams.
• Communication: Exceptional oral and written skills with specific experience in formal military-style writing, preparing briefs, and presenting to senior leadership.
• Attributes: Proactive self-starter with an eye for detail and a systematic working style; highly capable of working cross-functionally in a heavily matrixed organizational structure with minimal supervision.

DESIRED SKILLS & CERTIFICATIONS:

• PMP - Project Management Professional (Highly Desired).
• ITIL - ITIL v3 or v4 Foundation (Highly Desired).
