Sr. Project Manager with PX career advancement potential.
Location: Pasadena, CA
Company: Multi-Billion Dollar General Contractor
Comp: 190-225k w/20% Target Bonus
Seeking either a PM who wants to move into a Senior Project Manager or existing PM with experience in the pursuit and delivery of public works projects, particularly in a competitive, hard-bid, design-build environment.
The ideal candidate is a doer-seller who is heavily involved in pursuits, including preconstruction and proposal development, and who has a strong track record of success on the operations side-taking a project from pursuit through execution and closeout.
We're looking for someone capable of leading both a pursuit and a project. For example, a GC-side PM who played a key role in winning and delivering a design-build municipal facility or K-12 school under a hard bid, fast-paced environment.
