We have multiple openings for Project Managers for Facility Construction to support projects within the National Ignition Facility & Photon Science (NIF&PS) / Light Matter and Fusion (LMF) Directorate. NIF houses the world’s highest energy pulsed laser system and provides the scientific community with an unprecedented capability for studying materials at extreme pressures, temperatures, and densities. You will lead the planning, design, execution, and closeout of facility, utility, and construction projects that support NIF&PS / LMF operations and mission needs. These projects may range from moderately complex small-scale retrofits to large-scale new construction efforts in highly technical, industrial, laboratory, and clean room operating environments.
What you'd do
- Operate under general direction with limited responsibility, adhere to established procedures, and use fundamental knowledge and standard techniques to solve problems and contribute to project milestone completion.
- Develop project requirements, technical scope, specifications, design packages, cost estimates, schedules, and risk plans for facility construction and infrastructure projects supporting NIF&PS operations.
- Support the planning, design, execution, and completion of assigned construction projects, serving as the primary technical and project contact for internal clients, contracting offices, design engineers, construction managers, and external contractors.
- Collaborate with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), internal clients, and stakeholders to contribute to project and programmatic requirements and ensure successful project delivery.
- Partner with internal construction management and facility stakeholders during pre-construction and construction to support the alignment of execution strategy, safety, quality, and operational integration.
- Track project baseline scope, cost, and schedule; monitor variances; and apply project management methods and tools, including earned value management practices, as appropriate.
- Participate in design and constructability reviews to ensure drawings and specifications meet applicable codes, LLNL standards, environmental requirements, and safety and health requirements.
- Support preparation of safety basis and work control documentation aligned with Integrated Safety Management principles and participate in project readiness and prestart activities, as required.
- Review contractor proposals and change requests for technical adequacy and scope, schedule, and cost impacts.
- Serve as the technical contact on assigned projects and lead multidisciplinary teams that may include architects, engineers, designers, ES&H professionals, operations personnel, procurement staff, and outside contractors.
What they want
- Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field, or the equivalent combination of education and related experience.
- Experience supporting facility construction, infrastructure, retrofit, modernization, or installation projects in technical, industrial, laboratory, or similarly regulated environments.
- Working knowledge of project delivery tools, project execution methods, and construction contract approaches, such as design-build and design-bid-build.
- Working knowledge of construction means, methods, materials, and products.
- Experience developing or supporting project scope, cost, schedule, and risk plans.
- Experience reviewing and developing technical specifications, drawings, and construction documentation.
- Experience reviewing technical specifications, drawings, and construction documentation.
- Experience participating in design reviews and project reviews to help ensure technical, operational, and safety requirements are met.
- Experience working in a multidisciplinary environment with architects, engineers, technicians, designers, construction managers, and operations personnel.
