Operations Manager / Project Manager — Licensed PE (Structural)

Operations Manager / Project Manager — Licensed PE (Structural) The short version We're a structural engineering firm doing residential, commercial, and industrial work across Washington and Oregon. The technical work is strong and the pipeline is full. What we need now is someone to build the machine around it. This is not a seat where you inherit a mature ops function and maintain it. You'd be the person who designs it. What you'd own Operations (the core of this role) Own how work moves through the firm — intake, scoping, proposal, production, QC, delivery Build and enforce SOPs that hold up as we grow, rather than living in one person's head Run our project management system (ClickUp-based) as a real operating tool: workload balancing, task routing, capacity visibility Own the metrics that matter — utilization, effective rate, schedule adherence, rework Help scope and hire the next round of technical staff, then get them productive fast Project management Keep a portfolio of concurrent projects on schedule and on budget Serve as the point of accountability for clients, architects, contractors, and jurisdictions Drive plan review responses and permit coordination to closure Engineering (real, but not the majority of your week) Review and seal work produced by the team Mentor an EIT on the path to licensure Take on design work directly when the schedule calls for it What we're looking for Licensed PE in structural engineering — required. WA and/or OR licensure, or ability to obtain by reciprocity. SE is a strong plus. A track record of actually running things — a team, a department, a book of projects — not just participating in them Comfort across building types. Our work spans single-family through industrial, and you'll see all of it. Someone who fixes the process, not just the project. If you've ever been the person who quietly rebuilt how your last firm tracked work, we want to talk. Direct, low-ego communication. Small team, no room for politics. We're open on years of experience. We care far more about what you've actually built and run than about a number on a resume. Why this role Talon is founder-led and growing deliberately. You'd work directly with the owner, with real authority over how the firm operates and a clear line to leadership as we scale. The systems you build will still be running in five years — that's the point of hiring you. Talon Industries LLC is an equal opportunity employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr Talon Industries
