A national commissioning provider is hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead full life-cycle commissioning of mission-critical facilities on a programmatic basis. You will own complex projects end to end — MEP design review, commissioning planning, functional testing of electrical and mechanical systems, and closeout — and lead the teams that execute them.
This is a senior, self-directed seat. You will run project teams of complex scope and broader programs, coordinate other personnel, and help shape the policies and procedures the group works from.
