The Opportunity

A privately owned commercial GC in Reston, VA needs a hands-on Senior Project Manager to take command of a ground-up, ~$15M municipal community center in Ward 8. You will own the project from assessment through construction, substantial completion and closeout, and you will lead the existing DC team with stronger direction. The goal is a project that is organized, financially controlled and on schedule, with limited executive intervention.

What You’ll Do

• Build the execution or recovery plan, and set priorities, communication cadence and escalation paths
• Own the budget, cost-to-complete forecasts, cash flow, contingency and margin
• Lead subcontractor buyout, scope leveling and awards
• Administer the prime contract, including change orders, notices and claims documentation
• Oversee drawings, constructability, RFIs, submittals, long-lead materials and schedules, including critical path and recovery
• Work with the onsite PM/Superintendent on progress, manpower and inspections, and hold the team accountable
• Lead OAC meetings and serve as the senior contact for city representatives, architects and engineers
• Manage city permitting, inspections, prevailing-wage and certified payroll review, and public-owner compliance
• Review pay applications, retainage and lien waivers
• Coordinate punch, commissioning, as-builts, warranties and owner turnover
• Keep Procore records accurate, walk the site regularly, and report project health to leadership
• Take on additional DC projects only when staffing allows; the community center stays first priority

What You Bring

• 8+ years in commercial GC construction, including 5+ at a senior project leadership level (demonstrated responsibility matters more than title)
• Personal leadership of at least one $10M–$20M+ vertical project, plus multiple projects from preconstruction or takeover through closeout
• Commercial base building and government or public building experience; DC agency experience is a significant advantage
• Full financial ownership, buyout, contract administration, scheduling and OAC leadership
• Comfort handling municipal owners and government red tape personally
• Procore (strongly preferred), Bluebeam preferred, advanced Excel and Microsoft Office
