Job Description: We are looking for a motivated and curious Technical Project Manager who is ready to grow their career while taking on meaningful responsibility across technology-focused client engagements. This role offers the opportunity to manage projects, work directly with clients and multidisciplinary teams, develop expertise in emerging solutions, and gain broader exposure to the business behind the projects. As part of Parsons X, you will bring together client teams, Parsons technical and business resources, partners, and subcontractors to solve complex problems and deliver successful outcomes, while building the experience needed to take on increasingly complex project leadership roles.
