Description

Project Manager – Federal Construction (PE Required) - Federal Construction & Project Controls About the Role SIRIS is seeking an experienced Project Manager to provide full-time engineering, project controls, and construction administration support to the Architect of the Capitol's Construction Execution Branch in Washington, DC. The position will support multiple concurrent construction and renovation projects across the Capitol campus, from procurement development and technical review through construction execution, closeout, and turnover. This role requires a licensed Professional Engineer who can combine strong technical field knowledge with disciplined cost, schedule, quality, risk, and documentation controls. You will collaborate with federal client representatives, contractors, architects, engineers, consultants, and other project stakeholders in active, occupied, historic, and high-visibility facilities. Success in this role will be evaluated not only through technical qualifications and project performance, but also through the ability to represent SIRIS with professionalism, sound judgment, responsiveness, clear communication, and credibility. This is an important opportunity to help SIRIS establish a trusted, long term partnership with the Architect of the Capitol. What You’ll Do • Provide engineering, project controls, and construction administration support for multiple concurrent construction and renovation projects across the Capitol campus. • Support procurement development by preparing and reviewing scopes of work, technical requirements, schedules, cost information, and acquisition documentation. • Prepare, review, or validate independent government cost estimates (IGCEs), quantity takeoffs, cost breakdowns, pricing analyses, and contractor proposals. • Monitor project schedules, budgets, forecasts, risks, changes, action items, commitments, and performance trends; prepare clear status reports and recommendations. • Review drawings, specifications, submittals, shop drawings, requests for information (RFIs), change-order proposals, and claims for technical completeness, accuracy, and contract compliance. • Perform technical field engineering, existing-condition verification, survey coordination, site observations, field inspections, and documentation of construction progress and deficiencies. • Maintain and coordinate project controls, including submittal, RFI, change, claims, decision, action-item, risk, and issue logs. • Assist with or lead quality assurance activities to verify conformance with contract documents, approved submittals, applicable requirements, and client expectations. • Support progress meetings, field coordination, reports, correspondence, punch lists, closeout documentation, and stakeholder communications. • Identify emerging cost, schedule, quality, safety, contractual, or technical risks and escalate issues with clear analysis and practical recommendations. Who Will Succeed in This Role • A technically credible engineer with meaningful federal construction, project controls, and construction administration experience. • Comfortable moving between detailed field conditions and broader cost, schedule, risk, contractual, and stakeholder priorities. • Able to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines without sacrificing accuracy, responsiveness, or follow-through. • A confident communicator who can explain complex technical matters clearly to technical and nontechnical stakeholders. • Organized and analytical, with the discipline to maintain complete, accurate, and defensible project documentation. • Skilled at building productive relationships while exercising independent judgment and protecting client and company interests. • Professional, accountable, discreet, and aligned with SIRIS's values: Walk Humbly, Do Justly, Lead Courageously, and Love Mercy. Qualifications Required • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a closely related technical discipline from an accredited college or university. • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction. • Five or more years of progressively responsible experience in engineering, construction project management, project controls, or construction administration. • Demonstrated experience supporting federal construction projects, facilities, or capital improvement programs. • Hands-on experience developing, reviewing, or validating cost estimates and independent government cost estimates (IGCEs). • Strong working knowledge of construction project controls, including scheduling, cost management, forecasting, risk management, change control, documentation, and reporting. • Experience coordinating and reviewing submittals, RFIs, change orders, contractor proposals, and claims. • Experience conducting technical field engineering, surveys or survey coordination, site observations, inspections, and quality assurance activities. • Ability to interpret drawings, specifications, contracts, scopes of work, and other technical documentation and prepare concise, defensible analyses and recommendations. • Strong written, verbal, analytical, organizational, and stakeholder management skills. • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and standard construction documentation, reporting, and collaboration tools. Preferred • Previous experience supporting the Architect of the Capitol or other legislative-branch facilities. • Construction, engineering, or project-management experience in Washington, DC. • Experience working in active, occupied federal, historic, cultural, institutional, or similarly high-visibility facilities. • Experience using Kahua, e-Builder, or a comparable construction program-management platform. • Experience supporting multiple small-to-medium construction projects simultaneously from procurement through closeout. • Experience providing owner's representative, construction-management, or agency construction-support services. Proposal Application Requirements Because this position supports an active federal proposal, candidates considered for proposal inclusion must provide a current resume and detailed information for at least five projects with scope and responsibilities comparable to this assignment. • Project identification: Project name and location; client or government agency; project type and scope; and approximate construction value, when available. • Candidate involvement: Dates of involvement, position or role, level of authority, and a concise description of the candidate's responsibilities and accomplishments. • Relevant responsibilities: Project controls, schedule management, cost estimating or oversight, quality assurance, field inspections, submittal and RFI management, stakeholder coordination, change orders, claims, construction administration, and closeout. • Preferred examples: Federal construction projects, particularly work completed in Washington, DC or in active, occupied, historic, cultural, or institutional facilities. Candidates selected for proposal inclusion must authorize SIRIS to use their resume, qualifications, credentials, and relevant project information in the proposal and must verify licensure, availability, and the accuracy of submitted information. Additional Requirements • Ability to work full-time on-site in Washington, DC and travel between multiple project locations across the Capitol campus during the workday. • Ability to satisfy applicable federal background screening, credential verification, badging, and site-access requirements. • Ability to work independently, protect confidential information, and exercise sound judgment in a high-visibility client environment. • Ability to maintain professional, responsive communication with federal clients, contractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders. • Availability, qualifications, and continued interest must be confirmed during the proposal-development and client-approval processes. Work Environment • This is a full-time, on-site position performed in office, client-site, and active construction environments. • The role requires regular computer and document-review work, meetings, field observations, inspections, and travel between project locations. • Field activities may require extended standing or walking, navigating stairs and uneven surfaces, and entering active construction areas while wearing required personal protective equipment. • Reasonable accommodations will be provided to qualified individuals with disabilities in accordance with applicable law. Federal & AOC Program Requirements • Employment is contingent upon SIRIS receiving the applicable contract award, the position remaining within the awarded scope, funding availability, and client approval when required. • The selected candidate must successfully complete all applicable background, credential, employment, education, licensing, and site-access verification requirements. • The employee must comply with all client, campus, safety, security, confidentiality, ethics, and documentation requirements. • This posting represents a proposal-based employment opportunity and does not constitute a contract or guarantee of employment.
