Bring structure to scheduling, project tracking, and resource planning

Help implement tools and processes that support scalability

Partnership with Ownership

Serve as a trusted partner and sounding board to ownership

Help translate business goals into operational execution

Provide visibility into project performance, risks, and opportunities

QUALIFICATIONS:

6–8+ years of experience in construction, operations, or project management leadership

Experience leading teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously

Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on

Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Experience in a growing company environment is a strong plus

BENEFITS:

Competitive salary based on experience (100,000 - 120,000)

Nine (9) paid standard holidays

Paid Vacation Time, 15 days

Matching 4% 401k

HSA, employer contributions
