Senior Construction Project Manager

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM The Design & Construction team at Anduril delivers the factories, labs, offices, and secure spaces that enable our teams to design, build, and deploy advanced defense technology. Our projects span high-performance manufacturing facilities, mission-critical secure environments, and collaborative workspaces, giving our team exposure to a uniquely wide variety of technical and operational challenges. More than just delivering buildings, we are (literally) rebuilding the American defense industrial base. Our work directly accelerates how quickly critical technology moves from concept to production and into the hands of the warfighter. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a Senior Construction Project Manager to join our rapidly growing team in Boston, MA. This individual will help us bring our growing real estate portfolio of offices, factories, and secure spaces to life. WHAT YOU’LL DO Preconstruction and Design: Gather (and help define) user requirements for nascent construction projects. Generate accurate cost estimates at all stages of a project lifecycle (concept, test fits, schematic designs, construction drawings, etc.). Manage relationships with consultants, regional contractors, and suppliers as needed to support individual project cost estimates. Perform early site due diligence to assist executive go/no-go decisions as needed. Assemble and lead project design teams (architects and consultants). Budget and Financial Oversight: Develop and manage budgets for construction and maintenance projects: everything from large greenfield projects to small one-day capital improvements. Work closely with Finance/FP&A for cash flow forecasting. Prepare and present financial reports to senior executives. Contracting Strategy: Develop and implement creative contracting structures that align incentives, reduce change order disputes, and set up projects for success. Establish commercial terms that drive transparency, predictability, and fairness throughout the project lifecycle. Structure contracts to appropriately allocate risk, protect the company’s interests, and minimize potential disputes. Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for all construction-related matters. Advise in all phases of any given project: programming, design, pre-construction, closeout, and operations - not just construction. Communicate project progress, challenges, and solutions to senior management and other key internal stakeholders. Work cross-functionally with non-constriction functions like Security, Network Engineering, Facilities Management, Marketing, Kitchen Operations, Manufacturing, EHS, Legal, and many others. External Project Management and Coordination: Maintain strong relationships with contractors, consultants, vendors, and authorities having jurisdiction. Collaborate closely with external project management teams to ensure alignment of construction activities with overall project objectives. Facilitate regular meetings with external project managers to discuss project updates, resource allocation, and potential challenges. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in construction management. Strong background in design advisory, pre-construction, and project kickoff/setup.…
