    Location: Tallahassee, FL

    Firm: Orr Partners (via SG2 Recruiting)

    About Our Partner

    SG2 Recruiting has partnered with Orr Partners LLC, a highly regarded development and property management firm in Washington, D.C. Orr Partners is an award-winning company that builds its success on repeat business and referrals, demonstrating a deep commitment to client satisfaction. Our expansive network of contractors, architects, and engineers enables us to secure significant cost and service advantages for our clients' most complex developments.

    The Role: Lead Complex Industrial Projects

    Orr Partners is seeking a seasoned Senior Project Manager to command a 2-year, $100 million industrial construction project in the Tallahassee, FL, area. This is a leadership role for an expert in industrial, manufacturing, or logistics facilities. The follow-up to this project will be a manufacturing facility for a major PJ manufacturer in the region.

    We are looking for a professional who thrives on the complexity of large-scale industrial builds—from ground-up manufacturing plants and distribution centers to complex retrofits. As the Owner's Representative, you will be the single point of accountability, driving projects from pre-construction and design through commissioning and closeout, ensuring our client's vision is executed on time and within budget.

    Responsibilities

    As the senior-most project lead, you will:

    • Provide Executive Leadership: Command the entire project team —including general contractors, architects, engineers, and specialty vendors —motivating all parties to meet project milestones.

    • Own Project Financials: Develop, manage, and hold full accountability for the master project budget, cost controls, change order management, and financial reporting.

    • Drive the Master Schedule: Mastermind and drive the overall project schedule, rigorously identifying the critical path, anticipating risks, and implementing mitigation strategies for complex industrial timelines.

    • Manage Complex Procurement: Direct and manage all procurement, buy-out, and contracting processes for major equipment and construction services, negotiating favorable terms for the client.

    • Serve as the Client's Advocate: Act as the primary liaison, providing executive-level reports on progress, financials, risks, and key decisions.

    • Oversee Industrial Site & Systems: Provide expert oversight of industrial-specific elements, including site logistics, heavy equipment foundations, complex MEP systems, process piping, and building control systems.

    • Enforce Safety & Quality: Champion a culture of safety, ensuring stringent adherence to all OSHA and site-specific protocols, and implement rigorous quality control programs.

    • Mentor Project Teams: Guide and mentor junior project managers and support staff, fostering a culture of excellence and professional growth.

    Requirements: The Ideal Candidate

    • Degree: Bachelor’s in Construction Management, Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, or Industrial), Architecture, or a related field.

    • Experience: A minimum of 8-10+ years of progressive project management experience.

    • Core Expertise: A proven portfolio of large-scale industrial construction projects (e.g., manufacturing, distribution centers, logistics facilities, data centers, or processing plants). Experience managing projects valued at $50M+ is highly desired.

    • Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of industrial construction means and methods, including site work, structural steel, and complex MEP/process systems.

    • Background: Must have experience working for a General Contractor, design-build firm, or in an Owner's Representative capacity focused on industrial builds.

    • Leadership: Demonstrable experience in managing people, leading negotiations, and resolving complex project disputes.

    • Skills: Expertise in construction management software (e.g., Procore, P6) and financial cost-tracking.

    • Location: Must be able to work from the Jacksonville, FL, area and travel to project sites.

    Preferred Qualifications (It’s a Plus)

    • PMP (Project Management Professional)® certification.

    • OSHA 30 certification.

    • LEED, WELL, or other relevant professional accreditation.

    • Experience in pre-construction, estimating, and design-build procurement.
