Job Description

EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time, Exempt

INDUSTRY: Construction | Commercial | Mission-Critical Facilities | Data Centers

REPORTS TO: VP of Construction

LOCATION: Oakland, NJ

WORK ARRANGEMENT: On-Site

Ready to own the build behind the digital world? Lead high-visibility commercial and mission-critical projects from pre-construction through commissioning and closeout.

Are you a disciplined, accountable construction leader who thrives on owning budget, schedule, subcontracts, and change management on complex, MEP-intensive projects?

PTS Data Center Solutions, Inc. is seeking a Project Manager to take the lead on high-visibility commercial and mission-critical projects, the facilities that keep enterprises and federal agencies running around the clock. From pre-construction through commissioning and closeout, you'll own budget, schedule, subcontracts, and change management, and you'll be the trusted voice the Owner and Owner's Representative count on.

Data center experience is a plus but not required. We want a disciplined, accountable PM who can run complex, MEP-intensive work and grow with our mission-critical portfolio.

Essential Duties May Include

• Serve as the GC's primary point of contact with the Owner, Owner's Representative, and design team through pre-construction, procurement, construction, and closeout.
• Develop and maintain the CPM project schedule (MS Project or P6), integrating long-lead equipment, trade work, inspections, and commissioning.
• Manage the project budget on an open-book basis: forecasting, monthly cost reports, GMP tracking, and buyout status.
• Lead procurement and trade buyout; administer subcontracts with prime terms and insurance requirements passed down.
• Review, price, negotiate, and process change orders; maintain the change management log.
• Manage RFIs, submittals, and Owner correspondence through Procore.
• Run weekly OAC meetings and issue minutes.
• Drive monthly AIA G702/G703 billing, lien waivers, certified payroll, and Schedule of Values discipline.
• Support constructability reviews at design milestones and coordinate MEP/BIM clash resolution before field installation.
• Enforce OSHA, QA/QC, and site safety requirements; coordinate shutdowns and facility access with the Owner.
• Manage closeout: record documents, O&M manuals, warranties, training, and commissioning coordination.

Knowledge, Skills & Experience Needed

• Highly organized, detail-oriented leader with strong contract administration and financial management skills.
• Disciplined, accountable, and collaborative professional who takes full ownership of project delivery.
• Skilled at coordinating multiple trades on complex, MEP-intensive commercial and mission-critical projects.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and contracts.
• Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with Owners, Owner's Representatives, design teams, and trade partners.

What Success Looks Like

• Detail-Oriented & Analytical: Maintains accurate budget, schedule, and change management records with full transparency.
• Dependable & Accountable: Owns project outcomes and consistently delivers on schedule and within budget.
• Collaborative & Professional: Builds strong working relationships with the Owner, Owner's Representative, design team, and trade partners.
• Proactive & Solution-Oriented: Identifies budget, schedule, and coordination risks early and drives them to resolution.
• Safety-Focused: Consistently enforces OSHA, QA/QC, and site safety requirements.

Required

• 5–7 years of progressive commercial construction project management experience, including time as lead PM.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field (equivalent experience considered).
• Proven control of budgets, schedules, subcontracts, and change orders on GC-delivered projects (CM-at-Risk, GMP, or lump sum).
• Proficiency with Procore, MS Project and/or Primavera P6, Bluebeam, Excel, and AIA G702/G703.
• Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications, and contracts.
• Current OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification.
• Ability to pass a background check and hold a valid driver's license.

Preferred

• Data center, mission-critical, or MEP-intensive project experience.
• BIM coordination experience (Navisworks/Revit clash detection).
• Public works experience: prevailing wage, certified payroll, MWBE/SDVOB reporting.
• PMP, CCM, DBIA, or LEED AP certification.
