Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
Anduril is creating a new opportunity for a Construction Manager to help us bring our growing real estate portfolio of offices and factories to life. We are seeking someone who can confidently navigate between meticulous cost estimating and core project management. For the first few months, the role will be heavily focused on cost estimating and will then transition into a hybrid PM/estimator capacity.
- External Project Management and Coordination:
- Maintain strong relationships with contractors, consultants, vendors, and regulatory agencies.
- Collaborate closely with external project management teams to ensure alignment of construction activities with overall project objectives.
- Facilitate regular meetings with external project managers to discuss project updates, resource allocation, and potential challenges.
- Maintain, adapt and implement a project management plan prepared by external project managers.
- Stakeholder Management:
- Serve as the primary point of contact for all construction-related matters.
- Advise in all phases of any given project: programming, design, pre-construction, closeout, and operations - not just construction.
- Communicate project progress, challenges, and solutions to senior management and other key internal stakeholders.
- Work cross-functionally with non-constriction functions like Security, Network Engineering, Facilities Management, Marketing, Kitchen Operations, Manufacturing, EHS, Legal, and many others.
- Construction Cost Estimating:
- Gather (and help define) user requirements for nascent construction projects.
- Generate accurate cost estimates at all stages of a project lifecycle (concept, test fits, schematic designs, construction drawings, etc.).
- Manage relationships with consultants, regional contractors, and suppliers as needed to support individual project cost estimates.
- Help build our historical cost database to inform every future project.
- Budget and Financial Oversight:
- Develop and manage budgets for construction and maintenance projects: everything from large greenfield projects to small one-day capital improvements.
- Work closely with Finance/FP&A for cash flow forecasting.
- Prepare and present financial reports to senior executives.
- Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in construction management, with a minimum of 3 years spent directly in a cost estimating capacity.
- Familiarity with cost estimating software like Procore Estimating, Autodesk Takeoff, STACK, or RSMeans
- Excel proficiency: You can work quickly, you’re organized, and you build models that others can easily and intuitively pick up.
- Strong background in design advisory, pre-construction, and project kickoff/setup.
- Extreme orderliness when it comes to document control
- Excellent project management skills, with a proven track record of delivering large-scale projects on time and within budget.
- In-depth knowledge of construction means and methods, materials, MEP systems and building codes.
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
- Competency in CPM scheduling methods, construction document review, and contract administration.
- Willingness to travel at 25% - 50% of the time to support out-of-region projects
- Experience with advance manufacturing-related projects is strongly preferred.
- Experience with ICD-705 and TEMPEST-related policies and guidance
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field.
