Employment Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire

Work Environment : 5 days per week onsite in a business-casual, collaborative office setting

A nationally recognized provider of critical infrastructure services is seeking a Staff Construction Manager to join their high-performing team based in the Brentwood, TN area. This firm focuses on safeguarding sensitive sites nationwide, providing comprehensive design-and-construction security systems for defense installations, museums, data hubs, and other critical locations.

With a growing portfolio of federal contracts and a three-year backlog of projects, they’re seeking a highly organized and deadline-driven professional who thrives in a process-intensive environment and enjoys making a measurable impact through infrastructure that safeguards our nation's most vital assets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead construction project planning and execution for federally contracted design-build projects across the U.S., overseeing progress from pre-bid through project closeout.
• Manage project documentation and reporting requirements for high-compliance, high-visibility clients—ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and regulatory adherence.
• Serve as the communication hub between field crews, subcontractors, clients, internal teams, and regulatory bodies.
• Coordinate vendor and subcontractor activities, ensuring alignment with contractual obligations and project milestones.
• Create and submit submittals, project updates, RFIs, and other reports using platforms such as Procore and government-specific systems.
• Monitor construction schedules, budgets, material procurement, and client approvals to keep multiple concurrent projects on track.
• Develop and implement project-specific safety and quality control plans in collaboration with engineers and field staff.
• Travel occasionally for pre-bid site visits, project kickoffs, and final commissioning—approximately 3-4 days per month.

Skills & Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in construction project management (commercial, federal, or high-compliance environments preferred).
• Strong administrative discipline—comfortable managing a heavy documentation workload and navigating complex government protocols.
• Proficiency with construction management tools (Procore, Microsoft Project, or similar) and fluency in Microsoft Office Suite.
• Experience in coordinating design-build projects, working closely with engineers, architects, and estimators.
• Familiarity with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers processes, RMS systems, and federal contract compliance is a significant plus.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage 3–14 active projects concurrently.
• Strong interpersonal communication skills and a self-starter mentality—able to manage deadlines without micromanagement.
• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field is preferred but not required.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive base salary with annual profit-sharing bonus potential
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• PTO, paid holidays, and additional perks including sports and entertainment tickets
