What this job involves:

As a Senior Project Manager on this account, you will keep a national telecommunications client’s network facilities powered, cooled, and ready to grow. You will deliver the larger and more complex capital projects behind that work: power systems, backup generation, HVAC, fire and building automation systems, and space preparation in technical facilities and central offices across the region. You will lead each assigned project as the client’s Owner’s Representative, directing the designers, contractors, and vendors and working with the client’s network, operations, and real estate teams. You will be a trusted technical and delivery partner to the client, and a resource to JLL colleagues on the account. You will join a JLL team that values collaboration, supports each other’s wellbeing, and creates room for career growth.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Delivering projects: Manage multiple concurrent projects, including large and complex capital work, from kickoff through commissioning, closeout, and handover.

• Leading the project team: Lead the design professionals, contractors, and vendors on each assigned project. Set expectations, coordinate the work, and hold the team accountable for quality and schedule.

• Technical leadership: Review and approve engineering drawings and specifications. Confirm designs meet client standards and fit network equipment installations. Resolve complex technical and coordination issues with minimal guidance.

• Contractor and vendor management: Prepare RFPs and manage selection with Sourcing. Monitor contractor performance, quality, and compliance.

• Stakeholder management: Serve as a primary working contact for network field engineers, operations, and real estate personnel. Raise issues early and keep your manager informed.

• Planning and risk: Build and maintain schedules, keep a risk register, control scope, and manage change orders across your portfolio.

• Budget and cost management: Prepare, submit, and track budgets and forecasts. Reconcile invoices against work performed and close out project financials.

• Reporting and improvement: Provide accurate status updates and reports in the client’s required format. Recommend process improvements that make delivery more efficient.

• Looking ahead: Share what you learn about upcoming facility needs with the JLL account team.

• Safety: Follow JLL and client safety requirements, and ensure projects meet health, safety, and environmental standards.
