Full Job Description
In the role of Senior Project Manager- Architecture, we'll count on you to:
Lead and coordinate single- and multidiscipline teams throughout the full project lifecycle, from pursuit, contracting, and project initiation through design, construction administration, commissioning, and closeout.
Assume overall accountability for the successful delivery of large, complex, and multidisciplinary architectural projects, including client satisfaction, scope, quality, schedule, budget, risk, staffing, and contractual performance.
Manage a portfolio of concurrent projects and assignments, establishing priorities, allocating resources, monitoring performance, and resolving conflicts across project teams.
Develop and maintain trusted client relationships, lead or support client engagement, contract negotiations, project interviews, pursuit strategy, fee development, and scope definition.
Identify follow-on work and new business opportunities in collaboration with market-sector, business-development, and operational leadership.
Plan and facilitate client, user-group, stakeholder, and project-team work sessions that establish requirements, resolve decisions, manage expectations, and advance project deliverables.
Lead engagement with complex client organizations, user groups, authorities having jurisdiction, agency representatives, and other stakeholders with competing operational, technical, and regulatory requirements.
Develop and maintain project staffing plans, responsibility assignments, workload forecasts, and resource projections throughout the project lifecycle.
Coordinate with discipline and operational leadership to secure qualified resources, address staffing constraints, and implement recovery plans when project performance is at risk.
Establish and manage project budgets, work plans, earned-value expectations, revenue forecasts, invoicing, accounts receivable, and financial performance.
Monitor actual performance against scope, fee, schedule, and staffing assumptions, and implement corrective actions when variances occur.
Lead periodic project reviews with Accounting, Operations, Business Group, and Market Sector leadership; accurately report project status, financial performance, risk, staffing, and corrective actions.
Document review outcomes and ensure that assigned actions are completed and tracked to closure.
Develop and implement project-specific quality management plans and ensure that required QA/QC, interdisciplinary coordination, constructability, technical, and document-control reviews are properly planned, staffed, documented, and completed.
Confirm that comments are resolved before deliverables are issued and elevate unresolved technical, quality, or delivery risks to appropriate leadership.
Lead and supervise large project teams, establish clear expectations and accountability, and provide timely coaching and feedback.
Mentor less-experienced Project Managers and Project Architects in project planning, client management, financial management, risk management, quality, and team leadership.
Support succession planning and development of the next generation of project-delivery leaders.
Perform other duties as needed.
