Job Description

Join us at Johnson Controls and contribute to shaping innovative solutions in data center project management, where collaboration, integrity, and a commitment to excellence drive success.

Key Responsibilities

The Project Manager is an integral member of our Building Solutions North America business at Johnson Controls. This role involves leading large, complex, and multi-million-dollar Controls construction projects in data centers across the U.S. This position operates remotely within the U.S. but requires travel to customer sites, including data centers, as necessitated by project demands, potentially up to 50% or more at times.
Under general direction, the Project Manager is responsible for the profitable execution of assigned projects within data centers. This role involves early collaboration with sales managers, installation managers, and project teams to strategize, assess risks, and provide recommendations on vendor selection and scope enhancements. The Project Manager ensures projects are completed accurately, on time, within budget, and within contract scope, while maintaining positive cash flow and pursuing opportunities for change orders. Compliance with legal and safety standards is paramount, and the role requires adherence to consistent project management procedures and processes, balancing customer satisfaction with financial results.
Act as the primary on-site leader for execution teams, developing and managing project schedules to ensure alignment with project plans.
Evaluate contractual scopes of work and manage impacts from client-issued bulletins or scheduling changes, pursuing additional work opportunities through change orders.
Manage costs, billings, and collections, ensuring timely and accurate project billings to maintain profitability and positive cash flow.
Communicate project progress, issues, and financial status effectively to management, applying tools such as Microsoft Project for risk evaluation and job progress tracking.
Ensure project document controls meet contract requirements and company standards, overseeing construction compliance with specifications and installation techniques.
Maintain long-term relationships with stakeholders, coordinating project meetings and training sessions to align project activities with customer requirements.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams for resource allocation, engineering, and commissioning, ensuring alignment with project objectives.
Foster a culture of safety, accountability, and integrity by ensuring all safety standards are enforced among staff and subcontractors.
