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.

Humbly, Do Justly, Lead Courageously, and Love Mercy.
