• Coordinate all project logistics, including installer scheduling, equipment delivery, and site preparation.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, installers, and internal teams (estimating, sales, operations) throughout the project.
• Proactively identify and resolve project-related issues to maintain timelines and budgets.
• Ensure projects are closed out efficiently and accurately, minimizing punch list items and facilitating timely billing.
• Travel extensively (50%+), including regular overnight stays (1-2 times per week), to project sites across the country, primarily in the Eastern US.
• Optimize project processes to improve efficiency and identify cost-saving opportunities.

Ideal Candidate

• Proven project management experience, with a strong understanding of construction site workflows and technical drawing interpretation.
• Highly organized, capable of managing multiple complex projects simultaneously with quick turnover times (30-90 days).
• Exceptional coordination and communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders.
• Willingness and ability to undertake significant travel, often requiring overnight stays.
• Proactive, problem-solving mindset with a keen attention to detail.
• Experience in the commercial food service equipment industry or with government contracts (K-12, higher education, public-funded facilities) is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with NetSuite and AutoQuotes is a plus.
• Based remotely, ideally in the South Carolina area.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $115,000 – $140,000, with potential for additional compensation based on cost-saving initiatives.
• Team bonus eligibility based on operational efficiency and successful project completion.
• Comprehensive benefits package including 401k with up to 4% match, health, and dental insurance.
• Mileage reimbursement, covered hotel expenses, and provided work equipment (laptop and phone).
• Opportunity to be a foundational member of a growing department and make a direct impact on business operations.
