• Field Crew Direction & Output Management: Proven ability to direct multiple field crews on precise technical scope (instructing them on what to execute on-site) and actively managing their daily field output, technical accuracy, and overall productivity (logistical crew dispatch is coordinated by supporting staff).
• High-Stress & Fast-Paced Adaptability: Highly disciplined organization with a track record of successfully navigating rapid, high-pressure requests and shifting priorities from demanding construction contractors.
• On-Site Solution Finder: A proactive problem-solver who can identify field discrepancies, resolve plan conflicts, and implement decisive solutions on-site to keep construction moving.

Your Responsibilities:

The Project Manager will be responsible for developing/maintaining strong relationships with construction company site superintendents

• Managing Scope: Projects need to have a defined Scope of Work (SOW), and this must be broken down and managed through a series of actions to be accomplished.
• Managing Time/Schedule: Projects must be delivered on time. Therefore, there is a need to manage the budgeted time according to a project schedule. Managing the time/schedule is about identifying resources, estimating durations and developing a schedule.
• Managing Costs: Projects consume resources, so there is a need to manage the investment and create value for the company. Managing costs is about resource planning, cost estimating, budgeting, and controlling to ensure that the SOW is accomplished with quality and efficiency.
• Managing Quality: Projects involve specific deliverables. The deliverables must meet project objectives and performance standards. Managing quality is about quality planning, quality assurance and quality control.
• Managing Personnel: Projects consist of teams and you need to manage project teams during the life cycle of the project. Finding the right people, managing their outputs, and keeping them on schedule is a big part of managing a project.
• Managing Communication: Projects touch a number of people who benefit directly from the project outcomes. Ensuring that all participants are properly communicating, verbally or in writing, is a must for a well run project.
• Managing Risk: Projects are a discovery-driven process, often uncovering new customer needs and identifying critical issues not previously disclosed. There is a real need to properly identify and manage various risks decisively and promptly.
• Managing Subcontractors: Projects often require the procurement of the services of outside vendors and contractors, including the purchase of equipment or securing services not offered internally to meet a client's overall needs. There is a need to manage how vendors or subcontractors are selected and managed within the project life cycle.
