About the Role

Superior Skilled Trades is partnered with a company seeking a Senior Project Manager to provide strategic leadership across multiple concurrent, mission-critical structural steel programs. This role is responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of engineered steel building systems—from pre-construction and design coordination through fabrication, logistics, erection, and commissioning.

This position operates at a senior level within the organization, driving execution strategy, portfolio performance, and cross-functional alignment between engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and field operations. The Senior Project Manager will play a key role in supporting continued expansion into data center, industrial, and large-scale infrastructure markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and own execution strategies across multiple concurrent structural steel projects, including master schedules, budgets, resource plans, and risk management frameworks aligned with hyperscale and industrial client demands.
• Lead end-to-end project delivery for engineered steel building systems, ensuring seamless integration between design, engineering, fabrication (manufacturing facility), logistics, and field erection.
• Oversee portfolio-level performance across cost, schedule, quality, safety, and risk, ensuring consistent execution across all active programs.
• Lead and mentor Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Design Managers while maintaining direct ownership of the most complex and strategic initiatives.
• Partner with engineering and estimating teams to support proposal development, value engineering, and preconstruction strategy for competitive bid positioning.
• Manage executive-level client relationships, including progress reporting, governance meetings, and proactive issue resolution to ensure long-term partnership success.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives, including adoption of digital tools (Primavera P6, Procore, BIM platforms) and implementation of best practices across engineering and fabrication workflows.
• Identify systemic risks across projects and implement mitigation strategies to improve predictability, efficiency, and delivery performance.
• Ensure alignment between manufacturing output and field installation schedules to maintain optimal project flow and delivery performance.
