About Our Client

Our client is a vertically integrated design-build firm based in Birmingham, AL. Their focus is on developing a differentiated delivery platform that improves lives. They specialize in the delivery of facilities utilizing the Design, Manufacture, Construct (DMC) methodology - a framework that replaces the century-old, siloed approach of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. A major and highly-valued component in their delivery process is their in-house Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing trades, each with dedicated field and operations personnel dedicated to perfecting their crafts.

This is a mid-sized company established just over 10 years ago. They currently have around 100 employees, but have a strategic growth plan based around their backlog that will result in an excess of 120 employees within the next year. Their unique projects are across the Southeast including the state of TX.

Job Description

1) Program Execution & Portfolio Leadership

Lead delivery across every active healthcare project without running any one of them directly. Hold each PM accountable for their own schedule, scope, and execution, and catch the portfolio-level pattern - the risk repeating across three jobs that looks like noise on any single one - before it becomes a program problem.

2) Program-Level Financial Ownership

Own gross margin and forecasting in aggregate across the healthcare program. Each PM owns their project's numbers directly; this seat owns the roll-up, protects margin decisions that cross project lines - shared crews, shared subs, shared risk - and flags portfolio drift before it shows up in a single monthly report.

3) Client Relationship & Contract Authority

Serve as the senior point of accountability for the company's healthcare client relationships. PMs run the day-to-day; this seat is who the client calls when something needs to move faster than one project's chain of command, and the person who ensures every contract in the program actually protects the margin it was written to protect.

4) PM Development & Bench Building

Lead, coach, and hold accountable every PM assigned to the healthcare program. Build a bench of PMs capable of running a healthcare client relationship and contract independently - this accountability, more than any other, is what separates this seat from a PM carrying a heavier project load.

5) Risk, Compliance & Cross-Functional Alignment

Drive proactive risk management and compliance - safety, ICRA, schedule - across the healthcare portfolio. Serve as the connective tissue between Design, Precon, and Field for healthcare work, and surface systemic issues to the Director of Project Management before they surface as a client complaint.

What Exceptional Execution Looks Like

  • Every PM in the program runs their project with less oversight every quarter, not more
  • Portfolio-level financial risk is caught before it appears in any single project's report
  • Healthcare clients experience the same standard of access and discipline regardless of which PM is assigned

The Successful Applicant

Must-Have

  • 8+ years of project management experience in construction, with direct experience delivering healthcare projects (ground-up, renovation, or both)
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring, coaching, or formally leading other project managers - not just running a bigger project alone
  • Deep understanding of healthcare-specific compliance: ICRA, AHCA (or state equivalent), infection control coordination
  • Strong financial acumen - comfortable owning forecasting and margin performance across a portfolio, not just a single job
  • Proficiency with Procore, PowerBI, and Excel



Preferred

  • Experience in a self-perform or vertically integrated design-build environment
  • Experience managing a portfolio or multiple concurrent projects tied to a shared client relationship
  • CHC or equivalent healthcare construction credential

What's on Offer

  • Competitive base salary
  • Per Project Bonuses and Team Bonuses
  • When traveling - company-paid housing | per-diem for food | mileage-pay or flights for trips (25% expectation)
  • Company Profit Sharing
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance
  • Company credit card
  • Company technology provided
  • 401K match
  • Ongoing training and continuing education
  • Company events to promote culture
