Position Summary:
ISI is seeking an experienced senior Construction Project Manager with strong expertise in vertical construction to provide Owner’s Representative construction management services within a dynamic federal facilities environment to a DoD client. The Project Manager will support a DOD client looking to manage $300M+ in ongoing minor construction and renovation projects, typically ranging up to $5 million in value. This work includes infrastructure upgrades, building system replacements, tenant fit-outs, code compliance corrections, and facility lifecycle recapitalization efforts.
