Principal Construction Project Manager

ATOMS Careers page • new york, ny, United States • $182 - $214 / year • 2d ago

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.

Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.

This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.

We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.

What you’ll do

Supervise contractors onsite to ensure all work is executed safely, efficiently, and according to plan.
Verify onsite work to confirm that the delivered quality meets all specifications and standards.
Assist and guide contractors in resolving constructability, scheduling, and inspection issues as they arise.
Support the planning and implementation of project schedules and budgets.
Review and manage the flow of submittals related to owner-furnished items.
Coordinate onsite sequencing for installations, utility companies, and facility turnover to operations.

What we’re looking for

Experience with Procore, Bluebeam Revu, and MS Project.
Strong onsite supervision experience, ideally supporting multiple contractors and workstreams.
Ability to verify construction quality and flag inconsistencies or risks proactively.
Solid understanding of construction scheduling, budgeting, and project controls.
Strong coordination and communication skills to ensure alignment across contractors, vendors, and internal teams.

At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.

What else you need to know

This role is based in our New York office. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential.

The base salary range for this role is $182,000 - $214,000 per year.
