We are seeking individuals who are not only proficient in project management but also possess a forward‑thinking mindset and a passion for building and improving processes. Geothermal experience is a plus but not mandatory; however, construction management experience is essential.

The role demands strong financial acumen, subcontractor management skills, and the ability to travel as needed. This is an opportunity to join a growing team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our department. This position will report to the Director of Project Management.

• Manage subcontractor relationships, ensuring timely delivery of services, adherence to project specifications, and nurturing a collaborative professional partnership.
• Drive project progress through effective communication, coordination, and conflict resolution.
• Utilize project management software to track project milestones, budgets, and documentation.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to streamline processes and optimize project efficiency.
• Implement and maintain quality assurance measures to uphold project standards and meet client expectations.
• Actively participate in the development and enhancement of departmental tools, processes, and best practices.
• Contribute to the growth and development of the role by providing insights, feedback, and innovative solutions.

You will thrive in this role if you have

• Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.
• Passion for being on site and leading field crews, inspiring teams, and driving execution in the field.

Must‑haves

• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field. Master's degree is a plus.
• 1–4 years experience in project management within the construction industry, preferably in residential developments.
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies, building codes, and industry regulations.
• Proficiency in project management software, Microsoft Office, and Google Suite. Procore and Salesforce experience is highly desirable.
• Willingness to travel as required for project site visits and meetings (approximately 50% on‑site, with occasional out‑of‑state flights)

Benefits & Perks

• Medical (including mental health), dental, vision, and pet insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Generous paid sick leave, vacation, and parental leave
• Learning & development support, including on‑the‑job training and virtual courses
