We work with the agencies, contractors, and mission-driven organizations that keep the nation safe, delivering the physical infrastructure that makes classified work possible. We’re growing fast, operating across multiple markets, and building a company that takes both the mission and the business seriously.\nAbout the Role\nYou will lead the end-to-end delivery of Nooks’ physical spaces - from early design coordination through construction and handoff to Operations. This role exists because building accredited classified environments at speed and at scale requires a single owner who can hold scope, schedule, and budget across every site, translate Nooks’ product standards into buildable solutions, and keep architects, engineers, and general contractors moving toward handoff. You will report into Nooks’ Construction function within Product as an individual contributor, working from a remote or hybrid base with travel of up to 50% to project sites. In this role, you are an individual contributor as part of the Nooks Construction Team, under the VP of Product. You will work on a remote or hybrid basis with travel to project sites up to 50% of the time. \nThis is a builder role. While you’ll have clearly defined ownership areas, priorities shift quickly in a fast-moving, build-heavy environment, and the right person steps into whatever the project needs - making decisions with imperfect information, improving the process as they go, and treating every build as a chance to make the next one more repeatable.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign Coordination & Documentation\nCoordinate the full drawing process across schematic design, design development, and construction document (SD, DD, CD) phases, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and alignment to Nooks standards\nPartner with Product Security to translate program and accreditation requirements into buildable, repeatable solutions\nReview drawing sets with architects and engineers to resolve constructability issues before they reach the field\nConstruction Execution\nOversee general contractors and vendors through construction, owning schedule tracking, site coordination, and issue resolution\nReview requests for information (RFIs), submittals, and change orders against design intent and budget before approval\nLead permitting and approvals, managing submissions and comment responses to protect the schedule\nProject Controls & Delivery\nOwn each project from early design through turnover, holding scope, schedule, and budget at every stage\nTrack milestones and surface risks early, driving mitigation before they affect delivery\nPartner with Finance to monitor budgets, validate changes, and maintain financial control across the project lifecycle\nQuality & Closeout\nEnforce build quality and consistency as Nooks scales across sites, reinforcing repeatable standards\nRun internal and external project meetings that keep decisions, accountability, and momentum on track\nDrive closeout - punch lists, final inspections, and handoff to Operations\nWhat Success Looks Like in This Role\nWithin the first year, this person has taken multiple Nooks sites from design through turnover on schedule and on budget, with no surprises that leadership learns about late. Drawing sets move cleanly through SD, DD, and CD because issues are caught and resolved before they reach the field. Contractors and vendors are managed tightly, with RFIs, submittals, and change orders reviewed against both design intent and budget. Construction leadership relies on this person as the single owner of delivery for their projects - knowing the status, the risks, and the path to handoff at any moment. As the playbook matures, each build is more repeatable than the last.\nCross-Functional Expectations\nYou will work daily with Product on standards and program requirements, with Finance on budget control and change validation, and with IT/Cyber and Operations to ensure each space is built to accreditation and ready for handoff. Externally, you are Nooks’ primary point of contact for architects, engineers, consultants, and general contractors - driving their work to Nooks standards rather than simply receiving it. Success in these relationships means deciding quickly with imperfect information and keeping every party aligned on scope, schedule, and budget.\nThe Skillset\nHard requirements\n7-10 years of project management in construction and architecture, with direct ownership of drawings and construction execution\nDemonstrated experience coordinating drawing sets across SD, DD, and CD phases and reviewing for constructability\nExperience managing contractors and vendors, including RFIs, submittals, and change orders, to spec\nWorking knowledge of permitting and approvals processes and how to navigate them efficiently\nAbility to communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and keep teams aligned\nProficiency with project management platforms (e.g., Procore), Google Workspace, and industry-standard drawing-review software\nMust live in a major West Coast city\nPreferred\nExperience in a high-growth or startup environment, particularly multi-site or repeatable build programs\nProximity to a major airport\nEligibility & Clearance\nCandidates must be a United States Citizen. An active security clearance is preferred. All candidates must be eligible for and committed to obtaining and maintaining eligibility up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) level as a condition of employment.\nSalary Range for all departments\nSalary Range\n$140,000—$170,000 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":5814,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["National Security"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T16:29:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.604,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":55,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":170000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T13:34:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15096,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3797787},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3797787"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnooks-project-manager-design-and-construction-2"}]}
