Traveling Project Manager

Traveling Project Manager

Project Management/Operations

Dulles, VA • Full-Time/Regular

Position Summary

Our Project Managers are experienced in commercial HVAC and Mechanical Construction and likes the challenge of unique designs, projects and deadlines. You will be able to run jobs big and small, coordinating multiple jobs simultaneously, while also providing leadership to project engineers and partnering with our field staff to ensure flawless project delivery. You will also manage project milestones, identifying and coordinating resource requirements. One of the most important skills sets you possess is the ability to exercise a high level of judgment and work autonomously within company processes. You are willing to learn the Southland way of doing work and are eager to learn from others at all levels of the organization. The experience you have allows you to have a short learning curve, but does not present a barrier to learning new things. In fact you are excited to learn about our company, teams and processes and see opportunities to share your past knowledge to help your team be more successful when it makes sense. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and execute all levels of project management activities and responsibilities; you are not someone that can't perform without support staff. Finally, you thrive in a collaborative environment and are looking to work with multiple teams to accomplish our division and project goals.

This role can be for a traveling PM who is able to be at the project site during the week and travel home on the weekend OR if you are ready to take on a new adventure, a relocation package is part of the deal for the right candidate
