Project Manager - Prefabrication, Preassembly, Modularization & Fabrication (PPMOF)

The Opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for a Hyper-Scale Project Manager, Prefabrication, Preassembly, Modularization & Fabrication (PPMOF) who will lead and manage large-scale and complex construction projects, and the end-to-end lifecycle of modular components—from Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) to final site integration. They are responsible for ensuring that offsite assemblies (MEP racks, skid-mounted equipment, or volumetric modules) are built to millimetric precision, transported safely, and installed with minimal "on-site" labor. The Project Manager is responsible for assembling project delivery teams with the requisite qualifications and experience and working with cross-functional teams to ensure successful initiation, planning, construction, and closure of projects.

Location

You can be located anywhere in the US, if you are highly willing to travel to our client projects on a long-term basis.

Your key responsibilities

• Developing comprehensive construction plans, defining scope, goals, and deliverables in alignment with organizational objectives
• Identify "stick-built" elements that can be converted into modular assemblies to improve safety and schedule
• Lead 3D coordination meetings to ensure all prefab components have "clash-free" zones and standardized connection points. Develop a library of repeatable "skids" or "kits" to reduce engineering time on future projects
• Manage the factory "takt time" to ensure a steady flow of finished goods that matches the site's consumption rate
• Coordinate with specialized vendors for long-lead items (e.g., electrical switchgear, mechanical equipment) to ensure they arrive at the factory in time for assembly
• Rigging & Transport: Develop detailed logistics plans, including permits for oversized loads and specialized crane picks
• Risk Management: Identifying potential risks and implementing mitigation strategies to minimize impact on project timelines and outcomes
• Stakeholder Engagement: Communicating with internal and external stakeholders, including executives, clients, and vendors, to ensure alignment and address any concerns
• Performance Monitoring: Tracking project progress through metrics and reporting, adjusting plans as necessary to meet changing requirements or challenges
• Quality Assurance: Ensuring that all deliverables meet the required quality standards and compliance regulations
• Innovation and Improvement: Continuously seeking ways to optimize processes and improve project outcomes through innovative technologies or methodologies
• Client Responsibility: The Project Manager will support client new work efforts, oversee hiring initiatives, ensure safety, budget, quality, schedule, and profitability performance. Overall, you will play a critical role in ensuring the successful execution of projects that drive significant growth and innovation within the organization and serve our client’s needs

• A bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Project Management, Business Administration, or other technical discipline and approximately fifteen (15) + of related work experience
• Proven track record in project management, particularly in the construction industry
• Deep understanding of mechanical/electrical systems and ability to interpret technical specifications and engineering drawings

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Excellent communication and organizational skills to coordinate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders
• Strong history of leading, motivating and mentoring cross-functional teams
• Strong knowledge of construction processes, procurement, standards, and regulations
