[Hiring] Award Transition Project Manager @Quanta Services

Role Description

We are seeking an organized, hands-on project manager to run the bridge between winning a federal job and building it. From notice of award to the day construction operations takes the job, this person owns the transition schedule and every deadline in it, working with the vertical strategic lead, the Director of Construction, and our Contracts Manager. The goal is simple: every new job starts contracted and set up, with nothing left hanging from the bid.

• Run award intake within 24 hours and build one schedule of every contract deadline, including bonds, insurance, Accident Prevention Plan, Quality Control plan, baseline schedule, consent to subcontract, and submittal register.
• Receive the sourcing file and quote package from the Procurement Manager at award, confirm it is complete (returning any gaps to Procurement the same day), and use it as the starting point for every subcontract and affiliate work order.
• Drive every subcontract and affiliate work order to execution with the Contracts Manager, starting from the quotes gathered during the bid. Contracts drafts; you track and chase to signature.
• Collect what each subcontractor owes before mobilizing, including prequalification, bonds, insurance, and required plans.
• Stand up and own the commitments register through contract execution, then hand executed commitments to the Procurement Manager, who owns material and long-lead buyout through delivery.
• Build the turnover package from the estimate and lead the handoff meeting with the vertical’s Director of Construction.
• Coordinate job setup with Finance and PMO so the first charge lands on a fully set-up job.
• Hold the handoff, when anything required is missing, escalate to the Director the same day, and proceed only with written waiver approval from the Director and the Director of Construction.
• Improve the transition checklist after every job and train the people who come in behind you.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years of experience in federal construction project management, project engineering, or project startup.
• Startup experience on USACE, NAVFAC, DOE, or comparable federal construction projects, ideally supporting Energy and Department of War work.
• Working knowledge of federal subcontract requirements, including flowdowns, prime Miller Act bonds and subcontractor bonds, and Davis-Bacon, enough to know what complete looks like.
• Ability to build and run a Primavera P6 schedule.
• Strong organization and follow-through across multiple awards at once.
• Clear written and verbal communication with project teams, subcontractors, and internal partners.
• Procore and Costpoint experience is a plus.

Requirements

• Primarily office-based, with regular travel to project sites during award and mobilization.
• Travel: Up to 30% overnight required.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• Company-paid life and disability insurance.
• Access to mental health support and resources.
• 160 hours of paid time off per calendar year, prorated in the year of hire based on the employee’s start date, along with 11 company-observed paid holidays.
• Ongoing training and development programs.
• Career advancement opportunities to support professional growth.
• Tuition reimbursement for continued education.
• Employee recognition and rewards program.
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match.
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) options (based on plan selection).
• Maternity and paternity leave programs to support growing families.
