Project Manager Fabrication

Project Manager

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager with deep knowledge of fabrication and experiential builds. This is a senior individual-contributor role—no direct reports—but you will be the point person and subject-matter expert for all fabrication-intensive projects. The right candidate is process-driven, detail-oriented, and able to work cross-functionally with technical design, production, and installation teams to deliver high-quality projects reliably and efficiently.

Core Responsibilities

Project Leadership & Execution

• Own all aspects of fabrication-focused projects from kickoff through installation.
• Partner closely with Technical Design, Prepress, Production, and Installation teams to develop project-specific workflows, work-back schedules, and production strategies.
• Ensure installers receive a clear, written "run of show" / playbook tailored to each job and confirm the correct install team is assigned.

Process Development & Continuous Improvement

• Help advance BluEdge's expansion into experiential and fabrication-heavy work by establishing clear, repeatable PM processes.
• Create and refine toolkits and documentation, including:
• Work-back schedules
• Workflow strategies
• Standard operating procedures for fabrication projects
• Identify bottlenecks between Sales, Project Management, and Production, and recommend corrective actions to improve throughput and reliability.
• Clarify and document what falls within a PM's scope—and what does not—to ensure consistency across the team.

Systems & Platform Adoption

• Become fluent in BluCore (our proprietary internal software) and support the ongoing rollout of the platform within the project management organization.
• Ensure your projects are fully run through BluCore, using templates, scheduling tools, checklists, and reporting as designed.

Client Communication

• Serve as the primary project-facing contact for fabrication clients.
• Align early on scope, expectations, timeline, and requirements.
• Communicate changes, risks, and updates clearly and proactively.
• Build trust through reliability and strong technical understanding.
• (Optional/Not required) Leverage pre-existing relationships to introduce potential opportunities to BluEdge.

Cross-Functional Strengths (Used as Needed)

• Strong understanding of installation methods and on-site coordination
• Ability to qualify project scope and ensure feasibility before work begins
• Comfort participating in build strategy discussions with internal teams

Ideal Background

• Significant hands-on experience managing fabrication or experiential production projects
• Deep understanding of vendor coordination, materials, production methods, and install logistics
• Highly organized, with a strong ability to create and enforce structure
• Excellent communicator who can bridge technical teams and clients
• Comfortable operating independently as the fabrication PM expert
