Director of Construction, Military Construction (MILCON)

Job description

The ideal candidate is a deeply experienced, highly autonomous construction leader who brings command-level judgment, strategic clarity, and hands-on technical leadership to a complex, fast-moving federal construction program. This person does not require direction on tactics or strategy — they set it. They thrive in ambiguous, high-stakes environments, hold themselves and their teams to the highest standards of performance and compliance, and have a demonstrated track record of delivering demanding federal construction programs on time, on budget, and in full conformance with government contract requirements.

Job requirements

  • 15+ years construction management experience, with substantial leadership responsibility on federal or military construction programs
  • 8+ years of direct experience managing MILCON or other federal construction projects as a prime or major subcontractor, with demonstrated responsibility for full project delivery
  • Proven experience leading and developing multi-person teams of construction managers and superintendents across multiple concurrent projects
  • Deep working knowledge of FAR, DFARS, UFC, UFGS, EM 385-1-1, and USACE/NAVFAC project delivery standards and contracting requirements
  • Demonstrated ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy — setting strategy, making sound tactical decisions, and driving outcomes independently across a complex, multi-project program
  • Proven track record of delivering federal construction projects on time, within budget, and in full compliance with government contract requirements
  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to represent ICON credibly at the highest levels of government customer engagement
  • Willingness and ability to travel extensively to project sites across the United States
