Design Project Manager

At MBA Energy & Industrial, we operate with a fully integrated design-build model. Architecture and construction work as one team, from concept through completion.

The Design Project Manager is responsible for managing the design phase of construction projects. This role coordinates architects, engineers, consultants, and internal teams to deliver complete, coordinated, and buildable construction documents before construction begins.

This is a management and coordination role—not a design-only position.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage design projects from concept through issued-for-construction documents
• Coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, surveyors, and internal stakeholders
• Develop and maintain design schedules and track deliverables
• Lead design coordination meetings and manage action items to closure
• Ensure design intent is translated into clear, accurate, and buildable construction documents
• Identify design conflicts and resolve them prior to construction
• Manage design changes and evaluate cost and schedule impacts
• Support construction administration and collaborate closely with field teams
• Travel to project sites across the U.S. as needed

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Architecture
• Minimum 6 years of experience in a professional design environment under a licensed architect
• Full project delivery experience from schematic design through construction
• Strong understanding of construction documentation and coordination workflows
• Proficiency in Revit, Microsoft Word, and Excel
• Strong organizational, communication, and coordination skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

Preferred Experience

• Experience working within a design-build or integrated construction environment
• Design coordination experience for complex or industrial facilities
• Mission-critical facility experience
• PEMB design coordination experience

What Success Looks Like

Design packages issued on time and fully coordinated
Reduced design-related issues during construction
Clear alignment between design, estimating, and field execution
Buildable documents that construction teams trust

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary starting at $100,000+ (based on experience)
• Quarterly bonuses and referral bonus program
• 401(k) with company match
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Team-building events and strong company culture

Culture

We work hard, solve complex problems, and take ownership of our work. Our teams collaborate closely, communicate directly, and focus on delivering quality results.

If you are experienced in managing design for construction projects and want to see your work built—not handed off—this role offers long-term growth and meaningful responsibility.

Tools & Systems

• Project management and document control systems
• Ability to track schedules, budgets, and design changes

Success Measures

• Design packages issued on time
• Reduced design-related changes during construction
• Clear coordination across all disciplines
• Accurate, buildable construction documents
