Senior Design Execution Project Manager

Description

The company is a large technology client building Hyperscale Data Center facilities and other projects. You will run the design work for these projects, acting as the client's agent, consultant, advisor and authorised owner's representative from the first design phase through every design discipline until the project is handed to the client's construction team.

Most of the work is managing, coordinating and administering the design consultants the client brings in. You will take the program-level Plan of Record and adapt it into the local design for each site.

The ideal candidate is comfortable leading large design coordination sessions that bring together several design disciplines, including page-turn design meetings.

This is a remote role. You will travel to project sites in and around Atlanta, Charleston and Raleigh, about 30% of the time.
