• Broad construction knowledge across multiple trades.

• Structural, carpentry, or concrete‑focused project exposure.
• Experience working on military base or government facility projects.
• Ability to step into an active project already underway.

$120,000–$160,000 for candidates requiring some ramp‑up, up to $170,000 for a plug‑and‑play federal Project Manager. Compensation dependent on experience and level of autonomy.

Entrepreneurial, growth‑oriented environment; high visibility role with direct access to ownership and executive leadership; opportunity to help shape project management processes during a rapid growth phase. Benefits are currently evolving, with leadership actively working toward a stronger, formalized package.

• Immediate ownership of awarded federal work.
• Long‑term growth runway as the company scales significantly year over year.
• Opportunity to work with a contractor actively expanding its federal footprint.
