The Post Award Manager provides focused oversight of post-award execution to ensure leased space projects move efficiently from award through delivery and occupancy. Serving as a key coordination lead across technical, construction, and stakeholder activities, this role supports schedule adherence, compliance with lease requirements, and successful project outcomes in a complex leasing environment.

In this role, you will manage post-lease award activities related to the design, construction, and delivery of customer agency space in accordance with GSA lease requirements and project schedules. You will coordinate with project managers, subcontractors, lessors, design professionals, contractors, and customer agency representatives to support successful project execution from lease award through occupancy.

Your day-to-day involves reviewing drawings, design submissions, and construction documentation to confirm conformance with lease contract requirements, shell requirements, and tenant improvement requirements. You will monitor project schedules, milestones, and deliverables, identifying risks, constraints, or delays, and communicating recommended corrective actions to appropriate stakeholders.

You will support the review of pricing proposals and cost documentation, including the separation of shell and tenant improvement costs, to ensure compliance with lease requirements and cost controls. Additionally, you will review and help manage tenant improvement change orders and other project modifications in accordance with GSA processes, approvals, and lease terms.

You will track project status, approvals, action items, and outstanding issues to support timely completion of post-award requirements and readiness for occupancy. This includes participating in project meetings, site visits, inspections, and punch list activities to verify construction progress, document deficiencies, and support project closeout.

You will assist with pre-occupancy activities, including final inspections, punch list development, closeout coordination, and turnover documentation. Throughout the process, you will identify opportunities for value engineering, cost savings, and process improvements from design through occupancy while maintaining compliance with project and lease requirements.
