Project Manager

System One is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful execution of complex, fast-paced mission critical and data center construction projects. This position is responsible for managing projects from preconstruction and mobilization through construction, commissioning support, turnover, and closeout while maintaining client expectations for safety, quality, schedule, cost control, communication, and client service.

• Coordinate closely with the Superintendent and field leadership to align project management and field execution.
• Lead project meetings and ensure decisions, commitments, action items, responsible parties, and due dates are clearly documented and tracked.
• Maintain strong working relationships with clients, design professionals, trade partners, vendors, authorities having jurisdiction, and other project stakeholders.
• Identify project risks early and develop practical mitigation plans before they affect safety, quality, schedule, or cost.

• Strong understanding of project financial management and cost forecasting.
• Strong written and verbal communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency with standard construction-management software and Microsoft Office applications.
• Ability to travel to and work from project sites as required.

Preferred Qualifications
