Job Description

Copper River Technologies is seeking an experienced Construction Manager (CM) to provide technical and managerial oversight on construction projects administered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in Portsmouth, Virginia. The CM supports all phases of construction — from pre-award planning through final closeout — ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in compliance with government requirements. This role requires close coordination with contractors, engineering staff, and supported commands to resolve technical challenges, oversee quality, and support Contracting Officer responsibilities.

Responsibilities (include but are not limited to):

  • Review drawings, specifications, and RFPs for constructability and compliance with field conditions.
  • Participate in and coordinate project meetings, including pre-bid site visits, preconstruction conferences, QC meetings, schedule reviews, and final inspections.
  • Monitor construction progress through site visits, contractor reports, and QC documentation.
  • Review and provide recommendations on contractor submittals, schedules, safety plans, and QC programs.
  • Manage contractor RFIs, change requests, and provide technical solutions to unforeseen challenges.
  • Oversee execution of contractor QC programs, including inspections, testing, and the three-phase QC process.
  • Review and enforce compliance with safety requirements, including AHAs, Accident Prevention Plans, and NAVFAC P-307 crane lift plans.
  • Recommend contract modifications and support the development of Independent Government Estimates (IGEs), sketches, and technical inputs.
  • Review and recommend approval of contractor schedules, invoices, and payment requests.
  • Document contractor performance and prepare compliance reports for the Contracting Officer.
  • Support project closeout activities, including as-built drawings, warranties, O&M manuals, and DD1354 documentation.
  • Provide project status updates to NAVFAC leadership and mentor junior staff on construction management best practices.

Essential Job Qualifications and Requirements:

  • Education:
    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (ABET-accredited), Architecture (NAAB-accredited), Construction Management, or Engineering Technology (ABET-accredited).
  • Experience:
    • 7+ years as a Construction Manager, Project Manager, Field Engineer, or Quality Control Manager on commercial, industrial, utility, or waterfront projects valued at $5M or more.
  • Certification:
    • Ability to pass the Corps of Engineers EM-385 Safety & Health exam within 15 days of onboarding.
  • Preferred Qualifications
    • Excellent communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
    • Proficiency in scheduling, budgeting, quality management, and federal contracting processes.
    • Strong knowledge of construction supervision, safety standards, engineering principles, and project management practices.
