Director, DOE Project Manager

CSL is seeking a Director, DOE Project Manager to oversee a portfolio of architecture-engineering task orders with the U.S. Department of Energy. This is a full-time position emphasizing professional adaptability, sound judgment under multiple concurrent deadlines, and strong client-facing communication.

Serve as CSL's primary point of contact for the Department of Energy client (Contracting Officer's Representative and program staff) across the task order portfolio.

Manage schedule, budget, and technical scope across multiple concurrent task orders to reduce risk and keep projects on track.

Receive and review project requirements and obtain clarification on any conflicting, missing, or vague items.

Coordinate closely with our partners and technical leads across all disciplines to ensure design deliverables meet quality, schedule, and budget commitments.

Track deliverables through the design lifecycle (e.g., 15%, 50%, 95%, 100% submittals) and coordinate submittal and RFI review and response.

Manage subcontract administration, including coordination on invoicing and progress reporting.

Plan and lead project meetings; maintain minutes, action-item tracking, and follow-up.

Identify scope, schedule, or budget risks early and escalate to leadership with recommended courses of action.

Support project closeout, ensuring all deliverables and documentation are complete.

Represent CSL professionally in all client and partner engagements.

Travel as needed for site visits and client meetings.
