    We're looking for a Construction Manager to lead the technical execution of our projects — from buyout through closeout. You'll own subcontractor management, drawing review, field coordination, cost control, and quality of the finished work.

    This is a growth role. FCI is growing, and the right Construction Manager will grow with us — into Senior Construction Manager, Director of Construction, and beyond as the company expands.

    Primary Responsibilities:

    Subcontractor Management

    Hold subcontractors accountable to scope, schedule, quality, and safety

    Resolve field conflicts, scope gaps, and coordination issues between trades

    Review and approve subcontractor pay applications based on work in place

    Project Execution

    Read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents

    Lead constructability review during preconstruction — catch scope gaps before they hit the field

    Coordinate trade sequencing, site logistics, and phasing with the General Superintendent

    Walk sites regularly, resolve issues in real time, and keep projects moving

    Work closely with FCI's Project Management Team

    Estimation, Cost & Schedule

    Own project cost from buyout through closeout

    Track committed costs, projected final costs, and margin

    Manage change order pricing and scope control to protect margin

    Build realistic schedules and drive recovery plans when projects slip

    Quality, Safety & Closeout

    Enforce FCI's safety program and applicable OSHA/EM385 standards

    Coordinate with our Quality Control Managers on QC standards and testing

    Lead punch list resolution, closeout documentation, and final turnover

    What We're Looking For:

    Required:

    Minimum 5 years of federal construction management

    Experience running commercial AND federal projects in the $1M – $10M range

    Strong drawing and specification reading (architectural, structural, MEP)

    Subcontractor management experience — buyout, coordination, accountability

    Comfort with cost tracking, change orders, and margin discipline

    Strong communication and problem-solving skills

    Willingness to grow — take on more responsibility, learn federal construction, and step into leadership

    Preferred:

    Federal construction experience (USACE, NAVFAC, VA, GSA, or agency direct)

    OSHA 30, EM385, or CSSHO certification

    Construction software fluency

    Growing subcontractor network in the DC / NCR market

    Engineering or construction management degree

    Why FCI

    Growing federal contractor

    Opportunity to grow into senior leadership as the company expands

    Veteran-owned business committed to mission and team
