Shape the Future of Modular Buildings and Critical Infrastructure.

We're looking for a bold, solution-oriented leader to join our mission: delivering high-impact, technically sophisticated projects across the government, industrial, and commercial sectors. As Deputy Project Leader for MEP Construction, you'll play a central role in transforming complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems into seamless modular solutions.

  • Coordinate directly with contractors, vendors, and stakeholders to ensure timely, budget-conscious project delivery
  • Oversee detailed MEP installations and guide shop drawing development and field execution
  • Champion modular construction methodologies - from fabrication and transport to installation and final commissioning
  • Lead kickoff meetings and mentor project teams to ensure cohesion, safety, and accountability
  • Conduct site surveys and cost studies to support forecasting and fiscal accuracy
  • Identify and implement cost-saving strategies, QA/QC enhancements, and construction best practices
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on estimate development using platforms like Accubid
  • Manage permits, inspections, and closeout processes to keep projects on track and fully compliant

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's in Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering (Master's preferred)
  • 5+ years of experience with MEP or modular construction - or 3+ years with an advanced degree
  • Familiarity with modular construction workflows and MEP systems throughout their full lifecycle
  • Experience managing projects in federal, government, commercial, or mission-critical sectors, ranging from $2M-$30M+
  • Strong fluency in project scheduling and coordination tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, Bluebeam, Excel)
  • Knowledge of estimating platforms (Accubid), and Microsoft Office Suite

Skills & Superpowers

  • Clear, confident communicator with exceptional leadership instincts
  • Keen problem-solver with a knack for finding practical, high-impact solutions
  • Ability to lead diverse teams through fast-paced environments with integrity and focus
