• Monitor costs and ensure operations stay within budget
• Audit equipment and materials upon delivery
• Manage issues, risks, and change requests in real time
• Reinforce a positive, accountable, high‑performance jobsite culture

LEAN Process & Continuous Improvement

• Apply LEAN principles (5S, waste elimination, continuous improvement)
• Lead initiatives such as “Right the First Time” and “Perfect Teardown”
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement countermeasures
• Train crews on LEAN standards
• Analyze performance data and drive efficiency improvements

Safety Leadership

• Enforce strict adherence to safety guidelines
• Lead daily safety briefings
• Ensure proper PPE and training compliance
• Complete and submit safety documentation and incident reports
• Collaborate with safety leadership on jobsite safety plans

Post‑Event & Cross‑Department Support

• Provide post‑event reviews and documentation
• Support cost estimates for proposals
• Deliver operational feedback to Manufacturing, Logistics, and leadership
• Manage multiple priorities simultaneously

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of industry and/or project management experience (preferred)
• College degree (preferred)
• Strong project management and organizational skills
• Ability to read and interpret blueprint drawings
• Proficiency in Outlook, Excel, and Word
• Experience with Monday.com
• LEAN experience (highly valued)
• MS Project and AutoCAD experience (a plus)
• A drive to meet objectives efficiently in a fast‑paced environment

What Makes You Successful in This Role

• You hold high standards—for yourself and your team
