Job Description:

Parsons is seeking an experienced On-Site Project Manager to provide day-to-day project leadership and coordination for a major aviation and mission-critical facilities program.

 

Based at the project site, the On-Site Project Manager will serve as a primary interface among the FAA, Parsons’ program leadership, designers, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, technical specialists, and field personnel. The position will coordinate project execution, monitor performance, resolve issues, maintain project controls, and support successful delivery from mobilization and design through construction, testing, commissioning, turnover, closeout, and warranty support.

 

The On-Site Project Manager will perform in an owner-agent PM/CM advisory capacity. The role will provide leadership, coordination, oversight, reporting, and recommendations to the FAA and Parsons project leadership while preserving the Progressive Design-Builder’s responsibility for design-of-record, construction means and methods, site safety management, contractor quality control, and contract performance.

• Coordinate the activities of Parsons personnel, FAA representatives, designers, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, utilities, technical specialists, and other project stakeholders.
• Develop, maintain, and monitor project execution plans, schedules, budgets, staffing plans, deliverables, action items, risks, issues, and dependencies.

• Monitor field and project progress against approved schedules, phasing plans, work sequences, milestones, and look-ahead activities. Identify variances and coordinate recovery or mitigation actions.
• Coordinate project interfaces involving design, construction, utilities, telecommunications, security, facility systems, equipment delivery, commissioning, operational readiness, and cutover.
• Support owner-agent review of contractor performance, payment applications, change proposals, schedule updates, recovery plans, and other project submissions.
• Maintain project controls and reporting, including risk registers, issue logs, decision logs, action-item logs, change and trend logs, schedule information, cost information, and project status reports.
• Identify potential scope gaps, design conflicts, cost impacts, schedule delays, quality issues, procurement risks, stakeholder concerns, and other conditions that may affect project delivery.
• Coordinate the development and tracking of corrective-action, risk-mitigation, recovery, and issue-resolution plans.
• Support quality assurance, field observation, inspection coordination, deficiency tracking, nonconformance resolution, testing, commissioning, and turnover activities.
• Coordinate project requirements associated with beneficial occupancy, substantial completion, phased turnover, final completion, warranty work, and closeout documentation.
• Support FAA executive briefings, milestone reviews, stakeholder workshops, decision meetings, and readiness assessments.
• Maintain complete and accurate project records in the PMIS or other FAA-designated information-management environment.
• Prepare project status reports, executive briefings, decision-support memoranda, readiness reports, meeting materials, and other project documentation.
• Provide timely advice to the FAA and Parsons project leadership regarding project performance, emerging issues, stakeholder decisions, and recommended actions.
• Perform other responsibilities associated with this position as appropriate.
