Senior Project Manager

ICON is seeking Senior Project Managers to own the full design-build lifecycle for complex construction projects -- driving outcomes that demonstrate what is possible when 3D printing technology meets rigorous project execution.

ICON is rapidly growing as a full-service design-build general contractor serving clients across residential, commercial, institutional, and government sectors, weaving ICON’s industry leading technology with traditional building systems to deliver best-in-class projects. Project Managers are the engine behind that expansion. You will not just manage projects -- you will own them. From pre-award planning and design coordination through construction execution and final commissioning, you will be the driving force behind project success across ICON's growing portfolio. The ideal candidate brings deep design-build expertise, thrives in complex multi-stakeholder environments, and operates with the independence and judgment to deliver predictable, high-quality results.

You will work closely with ICON's Design, Purchasing, Print Operations, and Construction teams, as well as external partners including clients, architects, engineers, trade partners, permitting agencies, and inspectors. This position is based in Austin, TX with travel to project sites across the U.S and will report to the Division President of ICON Build.

This posting represents multiple openings across ICON's project portfolio. Final role assignment -- by sector and project type -- will be based on each candidate's background and experience.

• Collaborate with ICON's Print Operations team to efficiently deliver 3D-printed building systems within the technical and contractual constraints of each project.
• Implement and enforce quality control and safety plans aligned with project requirements and ICON's internal standards; regularly review trade partner work and require corrections when work does not meet expectations.
• Operate cross-functionally across the organization, maintaining awareness of and supporting efforts in Business Development and Strategic R&D as relevant to active projects.
