Position Overview

Leibold Irrigation, Inc. is seeking experienced and motivated Project Managers to join its growing team. For nearly four decades, Leibold Irrigation has earned a reputation as one of the premier golf course construction, irrigation, and renovation firms in North America, serving many of the most respected clubs, resorts, and golf facilities in the industry.

The Project Manager serves as the primary field leader responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing golf course construction, irrigation installation, drainage, bunker renovation, and related infrastructure projects. This individual will work closely with club leadership, golf course architects, superintendents, consultants, subcontractors, and Leibold team members to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and to the highest quality standards.

The ideal candidate possesses strong leadership abilities, excellent communication skills, operational discipline, and a passion for golf course development and improvement.

The Ideal Candidate

While technical expertise and project management experience are important, the most successful Project Managers at Leibold Irrigation possess something more. They are trusted professionals who consistently demonstrate integrity, accountability, humility, and a relentless commitment to excellence.

The ideal candidate is a relationship builder who understands that every project is ultimately about serving the client and protecting the company's reputation. They communicate effectively, follow through on commitments, solve problems proactively, and remain composed under pressure. They lead by example, earn their teams' respect, and recognize that trust is built through consistent actions over time.

This individual is comfortable being held accountable, embraces high standards, and takes pride in delivering exceptional results. They understand that details matter, that every interaction reflects on the company, and that long-term success is built upon professionalism, grit, work ethic, and doing the right thing—even when no one is watching.

The ideal candidate is not seeking simply a job; they are seeking a significant career step and an opportunity to contribute to an organization recognized throughout the golf industry for its reputation, relationships, and commitment to excellence.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day operations of assigned golf course construction and irrigation projects.

• Maintain consistent communication with clients, golf course superintendents, architects, and company leadership.
• Monitor project progress and proactively identify and resolve challenges.
• Ensure projects meet established timelines, quality standards, and budget expectations.
• Lead and motivate field personnel while fostering a culture of professionalism, safety, accountability, and teamwork.
