This is the first build of potentially many-ideal for someone who wants to establish the security foundation, build repeatable processes, and grow with a multi-year pipeline of work. The ideal candidate is a rare blend of project/program management and secure construction security experience-someone who can drive schedules, manage stakeholders, and ensure the site's security posture aligns with secure build requirements. Key Responsibilities • Serve as the on-site lead for security management across secure construction activities, with a focus on SCIF-related requirements and secure build coordination. • Drive project execution elements including planning, task coordination, milestone tracking, and cross-functional alignment to keep work moving on time and on standard. • Partner with construction leadership, subcontractors, client stakeholders, and internal teams to manage site security needs without disrupting construction progress. • Support secure area build planning, implementation, and operational readiness activities (e.g., access control concepts, controlled material handling, site security processes). • Coordinate and manage diverse stakeholders-ensuring requirements are understood, communicated, and executed consistently. • Develop and maintain site security documentation, procedures, and reporting appropriate to the program and customer expectations. • Identify risks, issues, and dependencies early; recommend mitigations and drive closure. • Help establish scalable practices and lessons learned to support future builds and expansion efforts. Requirements • 4+ years of experience as a Project Manager / Program Manager (or equivalent leadership role managing scope, schedule, stakeholders). • Strong leadership capability with proven ability to drive execution and accountability across teams. • Demonstrated experience managing a diverse set of stakeholders (construction, customer reps, internal leadership, subcontractors). • Excellent organizational skills-able to manage competing priorities, timelines, and site-level coordination. • Must be located in the local area or be willing to relocate (relocation assistance may be available). Preferred Qualifications (Strong Plus) • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Security Management, or a related discipline. • PMP certification (or strong PM discipline/experience aligned with PMP practices). • Understanding of ICD 705 requirements and/or exposure to SCIF standards. • Experience supporting the build-out and securing of a SCIF (or similarly controlled environment). • Active clearance (or prior clearance) is a plus; not required if you can obtain one. What Success Looks Like • You quickly establish credibility on-site and bring structure to security execution within the construction lifecycle. • Stakeholders trust your leadership, communication, and ability to \"make it happen\" without compromising security requirements. • You create repeatable, scalable site security processes that can be replicated across future builds. • You are positioned as a long-term leader for follow-on phases and additional projects over multiple years.","company":"Cencore","rawCompany":"cencore","city":"Charleston","state":"SC","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-06-06T01:45:57.853Z","occupations":[{"code":"11-9021.00","title":"Construction Managers","slug":"construction-managers"},{"code":"13-1082.00","title":"Project Management Specialists","slug":"project-management-specialists"},{"code":"11-3013.01","title":"Security Managers","slug":"security-managers"}],"industries":[{"code":"236220","title":"Commercial and Institutional Building Construction","slug":"commercial-and-institutional-building-construction"},{"code":"238190","title":"Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors","slug":"other-foundation-structure-and-building-exterior-contractors"},{"code":"238990","title":"All Other Specialty Trade Contractors","slug":"all-other-specialty-trade-contractors"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Program Manager","description":"Description We are looking for a Program Manager for a secure construction program and to oversee the security execution, including support for building and protecting SCIF-level environments.
