Fermi Research Alliance
LBNF/DUNE FSCF-BSI Deputy Project Manager (3-year Term)
Fermi Research Alliance, Lead, South Dakota, United States, 57754
We Are:Fermilab is America's premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and at locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.We are strategic risk takers, innovators, and collaborators. We are engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative professionals. We are over 2,000 employees advancing knowledge for the benefit of humankind. Fermilab has been at the forefront of particle physics for more than 40 years. We build world-leading accelerators and detectors to conduct some of the most advanced particle physics experiments possible. We collect and analyze the data from those experiments with some of the most powerful computers in the world. We conduct this research on a 6,800-acre prairie, 35 miles outside Chicago, a treasure that has been designated a National Environmental Research Park.Summary of the Role:LBNF/DUNE FSCF-BSI Deputy Project Manager job description:A Deputy Project Manager is sought to join Fermilab's Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) project in Lead, South Dakota. The LBNF/DUNE Project is hosted by Fermilab in Batavia, IL, but includes participation from universities and laboratories from around the world. The overall project includes construction of a beamline and near detector at Fermilab and a large underground detector at the Sanford Laboratory in Lead, South Dakota.The LBNF/DUNE project will design and construct one of the largest proposed neutrino experiments in the world over the next several years. This position is based in Lead, South Dakota and is in support of one sub-project of the LBNF/DUNE enterprise, known as the Far Site Conventional Facilities (FSCF) Building and Site Infrastructure, or FSCF-BSI, sub-project. Construction is currently in process to install infrastructure within excavated spaces nearly a mile underground to support the planned future detector. This position will support the infrastructure installation through early 2027. A Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) contract is in place for direct oversight of all construction, while this position oversees the CM/GC as the owner's representative.
The LBNF/DUNE FSCF-BSI Deputy PM works directly with the BSI Project Manager to coordinate the construction efforts of the LBNF/DUNE FSCF-BSI subproject comprised of several hundred million dollars in effort. This position has primary responsibility to manage a team of construction coordinators, who are the field inspectors for Fermilab, ensuring that the CM/GC (and other sub-subcontractor's) work is being performed in accordance with drawings, specifications, work planning, and schedules.YOU WILLAct as the back-up manager for the overall BSI sub-project.Review project schedules for progress, accruals, and invoice validation.Develop creative solutions for complex interfaces, installation, and overall integration.Perform field inspections of construction work.Assist with earned value management system analyses.Review construction work planning packages.Ensure the contractor is maintaining a 3D model with as-built information.Ensure compliance with Environment, Safety, Health, and Quality (ESH&Q) requirements.Develop independent estimates for construction work change orders to use in negotiating for fair and reasonable pricing with construction contractors.Review proposals and negotiate awards for both existing scope and contractor change orders.Assist with reviewing submittals and RFI's.Attend daily/weekly/monthly meetings with multiple teams for workday planning to coordinate the different construction teams.Help maintain detailed work plans, schedules, project estimates, resource plans, and status reports; these plans comprise the following as required by the DOE Order 413Prepare weekly and monthly progress documentation for communication to senior management and/or the Department of EnergyQualifications and Essential Job FunctionsBachelor's degree in Construction or Engineering Management, Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or Business Administration plus 10+ years of experienceMinimum 10 years of industrial, commercial, or civil construction experience on large (>$5MM) projects; preferably DOE or heavily regulated projects.Experience working with contractors and construction drawings.Excellent written and verbal communications skills to enable effective interaction with stakeholders.Experience working with project teams in a construction, manufacturing, or industrial setting.Demonstrated ability to work independently and meet challenging deadlines.Experience working in multicultural and matrixed groups and teams on large projects in a fast-paced environment.Ability to use a computer for performing engineering analysis, writing reports, and creating presentations.Preferred qualifications:Professional Engineering LicenseProject Management Professional (PMP) CertificationFamiliarity with pertinent codes and standardsExperience working with DOE processesExperience with CAD systems such as Autodesk REVIT, Autodesk Navisworks, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Plant 3D and develop working 2D drawings from these 3D packagesExperience with using construction management software (InEight/Teambinder, Procore, etc.)
Physical Activity and Work Conditions:Human factors: mental concentration, repetitive motion, sitting, tight work schedule, visual demanding, working in an underground science facility at a depth of 4850'Chemical factors: dust, epoxies, solvents, weldingPhysical factors: confined space, cryogens, Oxygen Deficiency Hazard (ODH)Willing to travel domestically and internationallyAbility to work daily at construction and installation sites including uneven terrain and difficult underground spacesFermilab is an Equal Opportunity Employer and believes a diverse and inclusive environment based on mutual respect is essential to our mission.
