Project Delivery Leader

Overview

At Shive-Hattery, we’re redefining what project delivery excellence means. We’re seeking a strategic leader who will elevate how our teams plan, design, and deliver work. You’ll work in uniting disciplines and offices under one vision of quality, clarity, and collaboration.

You’ll report directly to the Chief Operating Officer, partnering with senior leadership to strengthen firmwide project delivery standards and culture.

Why You Should Consider This Opportunity

Here, you’ll have the platform to shape how our teams collaborate, learn, and lead across disciplines.

• You understand how to connect people, processes, and technology to create clarity, confidence, and consistent results.
• You’re motivated by the chance to help others succeed and to leave a firmwide legacy of operational excellence.

What Success Looks Like

• Your project managers and discipline leaders collaborate seamlessly across offices.
• Teams deliver work that meets both design ambition and operational precision.
• Processes become clearer, tools become smarter, and communication becomes second nature.

“Over 15 years, our Project Delivery Team has evolved into a collaborative, innovative network driven by excellence and entrepreneurial thinking. Together, we’ve elevated both the client and team experience, championing the evolution of project leadership as a cornerstone of firmwide success. I’m proud of the legacy we’ve built, and excited to welcome a new leader to carry it forward.”
