The Senior Project Manager is responsible for providing senior-level leadership, direction, and oversight for large, complex construction projects or multiple concurrent assignments within Skanska USA Building Inc. This role is accountable for managing the full lifecycle of project delivery, from preconstruction, planning, procurement, and contract administration through construction, commissioning, turnover, and closeout. The Senior Project Manager helps ensure that projects are executed safely, efficiently, and in alignment with client expectations, contractual requirements, financial objectives, schedule milestones, quality standards, and Skanska’s operational practices.
Serving as a central leader on the project team, the Senior Project Manager works in close partnership with Project Executives, Superintendents, Project Managers, Project Engineers, clients, architects, engineers, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal support functions to establish project strategy, align key stakeholders, and maintain disciplined execution. This role is responsible for leading major project management functions, including budgeting, forecasting, cost control, subcontract administration, procurement, document management, change management, risk identification, issue resolution, and performance reporting. The Senior Project Manager is expected to evaluate project conditions proactively, anticipate challenges, and make sound, timely decisions that support overall project success.
A key aspect of this position is financial and operational stewardship. The Senior Project Manager is responsible for monitoring the financial health of the project, managing forecasts and cost exposure, supporting fee protection, reviewing contract obligations, and helping ensure that commercial decisions are made with a clear understanding of project risk and business impact.
