Project Director

Job Description

Project Director – Lead Complex Industrial Projects

Baton Rouge, LA |   $225K–$275K |   100% Onsite |   4 / 10 schedule – Fridays off

Why This Role is Different

We’re partnered with a top-tier engineering + project consulting firm that takes pride in treating its people like owners, not just employees. You’ll step into a culture that emphasizes leadership development, mentorship, and long-term growth — with a rare 4-day workweek and full benefits to match.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role where you’ll manage large, multi-discipline engineering and design teams (mechanical, electrical, civil, process, and structural). You’ll be accountable for full project lifecycle delivery — from scope definition and cost estimates to client handoff and post-project support.

If you thrive on solving complex challenges, coaching teams, and managing high-value projects with significant client visibility, this role gives you both the responsibility and resources to excel.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Teams at Scale : Direct 30–50+ engineers and designers across multiple disciplines, ensuring collaboration, accountability, and performance at every stage.
• Project Controls : Own budgets, schedules, earned value reporting, and quality metrics; utilize cost tracking, forecasting, and variance analysis to stay ahead.
• Technical Authority : Validate engineering designs, vendor submittals, and fabrication / construction packages for compliance with specs, safety standards, and client objectives.
• Client Engagement : Act as the primary client interface — align on goals, manage scope changes, and provide proactive communication on progress, risks, and deliverables.
• Decision Maker : Shape major technical, scheduling, and cost decisions; drive alignment between internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Mentor + Coach : Build a high-performing project culture; identify talent, provide performance feedback, and mentor emerging leaders.
• Risk + Compliance : Champion scope management, contractual compliance, and safety / quality best practices across all phases.
• Close + Deliver : Oversee project closeout, client approvals, lessons learned, and long-term relationship development.
