Technical Project Manager

Company: Orion Talent Job Ref: # 8477427 Date Posted: 11/3/2026 Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL Description OWN THE PROJECT. DELIVER THE MISSION. Lead meaningful U.S. government marine projects with a global engineering company. Take ownership from the first request for quotation through delivery—working directly with government customers and coordinating teams that keep critical vessels operating. WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY? Real ownership — manage government marine service projects from RFQ and proposal through execution. High-impact work — support vessels, major diesel equipment, and mission-critical service needs. Global backing — coordinate resources across Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Los Angeles, and worldwide operations. Florida lifestyle — work with an established Fort Lauderdale team; relocation assistance available. THE OPPORTUNITY Prepare quotations, plan projects, and manage scope, cost, schedules, resources, and delivery. Coordinate field service, engineering, workshop, and operational teams across locations. Communicate directly with U.S. government customers and manage project execution. Join a team ready to grow — make a visible contribution from day one. MILITARY & CIVILIAN EXPERIENCE THAT TRANSLATES You do not need to be a marine diesel expert or hold an engineering degree. The organization values people who can manage projects, navigate government-contract work, and deliver results. Military: Acquisition, logistics, program/project management, engineering operations, contracting support, or technical leadership; officers and experienced NCOs welcome. Civilian: Defense contractors, government-project coordinators/managers, contract administrators, and technical service project leaders. Especially valuable: Government contracting familiarity, RFQ/proposal experience, customer communication, and disciplined project execution. PMP certification, bachelor's/engineering degree, FAR awareness, and marine diesel knowledge are advantages—not strict requirements. COMPENSATION & INTERVIEW PROCESS Base salary: Approximately $117,000 midpoint; compensation based on experience and fit. Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates moving to Fort Lauderdale. Initial virtual interview with the project leadership team; follow-up interview may include an on-site visit.
