Schedule and Travel This is a seasonal, field-connected position. Peak event season may require longer hours, travel, and occasional early mornings, evenings, or weekends to support installations, strikes, and last-minute project changes. The off-season generally provides greater schedule flexibility and opportunities for planned time away. The Project Manager must remain reachable for urgent customer, safety, or scheduling escalations, but this is not a requirement to remain on-site or on call 24/7.
