Our client is seeking a Structural Project Manager to join their Dallas office, with consideration for candidates based in Austin or Houston. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a knowledgeable and supportive team that values your expertise and encourages professional development. As a Structural Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality engineering solutions while nurturing client relationships and mentoring junior staff.

Key Responsibilities:

As a Structural Project Manager, you will be entrusted with guiding complex projects from initial concept through completion. Your day-to-day activities will involve coordinating multidisciplinary teams to produce precise engineering documents, ensuring all deliverables meet rigorous quality standards. You will prepare proposals and contracts tailored to each client's needs while managing schedules so that every member of your team can contribute effectively. Your technical acumen will be essential as you oversee calculations and design work involving various building materials. By fostering collaboration between engineers and BIM Designers, you will help translate creative ideas into practical solutions. On-site visits will allow you to observe construction progress firsthand, enabling you to write insightful reports that keep all parties informed. Reviewing shop drawings ensures that designs are faithfully executed during construction. You will also handle administrative aspects such as evaluating service requests or coordinating permit responses. Building strong client connections is central to this role; your ability to communicate clearly with clients as well as internal teams will set you up for success.

• Develop, coordinate, and direct the production of detailed engineering project documents to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards.
• Prepare comprehensive fee proposals and contracts that reflect project scope while maintaining open communication with clients throughout the process.
• Create workload projections and scheduling plans for project staff to optimize resource allocation and meet critical deadlines.
• Oversee calculations, design processes, and analysis of structural elements using steel, concrete, wood, and other materials relevant to each unique project.
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams and drafting professionals to align design details with construction document requirements for seamless project execution.
• Conduct thorough construction observations on-site as needed, preparing clear reports that communicate findings to stakeholders in an accessible manner.
• Review shop drawings during the construction phase to verify adherence to design intent and resolve any discrepancies promptly.
• Evaluate requests for additional services, review billing documentation, coordinate permit responses, and provide ongoing construction support services as required by clients.
• Actively develop new client relationships while maintaining existing ones by providing attentive service and reliable communication throughout all phases of the project.
