About this role
MGAC's Critical Environments team is expanding its data center construction practice, and they're seeking a mid to senior project manager with strong scheduling expertise to lead high-visibility owner's representative projects. You'd work primarily onsite in Columbus, managing the full lifecycle of complex, ground-up construction projects—from schedule development and risk planning through budget and scope management. The role demands someone with at least two years of construction scheduling experience, ideally with P6 proficiency and a track record in critical environments like data centers, labs, or hospitals.
Your day-to-day work involves independent project leadership, mentoring teams, maintaining stakeholder relationships across clients, architects, contractors, and vendors, and solving the kinds of conflicts and challenges that keep large construction projects moving. You'll also handle financial aspects like invoicing and identifying add-service opportunities. This is a hands-on role that requires strong analytical and communication skills, but it's positioned as a genuine growth opportunity within a 30-year-old firm that emphasizes entrepreneurial thinking and flat organizational structure.
The position offers $90,000–$135,000 annually depending on experience, plus a solid benefits package including three weeks of vacation from day one, 401(k) matching, and wellness support. MGAC is recognized as a Top Workplace and explicitly prioritizes work-life balance. If you have construction scheduling credentials and want to own meaningful projects at a firm that values both technical rigor and culture, this role aligns with that profile.
