Project Manager

About Reframe Systems Reframe Systems is reinventing how the world builds. We combine modular construction, robotics, and advanced manufacturing to deliver high-quality housing faster, safer, and more sustainably. As a fast-growing technology startup, we operate at the intersection of construction, manufacturing, and product development. We are looking for a Project Manager who can take the best of traditional construction project management and apply it in a modern, technology-driven environment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, adapts quickly, and collaborates closely with engineers, designers, fabricators, software developers, and field teams. Position Summary The Project Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing modular construction projects from concept through installation. This includes managing budgets, schedules, subcontractors, internal cross-functional teams, and client relationships. Unlike traditional construction PM roles, this position requires working within an evolving product ecosystem, contributing to process development, and supporting continuous improvement efforts across design, manufacturing and field operations. Key Responsibilities Project Planning & Execution Lead the full project lifecycle. From preconstruction and design coordination through factory production, site preparation, installation, and project closeout. Develop and manage project budgets, schedules, logistics plans, and resource allocations. Oversee procurement, contracts, subcontracts, and change management workflows. Coordinate between manufacturing teams, design/engineering, robotics teams, and field installation crews to ensure alignment. Cross-Functional Collaboration in a Tech Environment Work closely with product, engineering, and operations to integrate project requirements into modular building systems. Provide feedback on design for manufacturability (DFM) and installation processes. Participate in iterative process development, helping refine workflows, introduce new tools, and identify efficiency opportunities. Collaborate in a start-up environment where processes evolve quickly, requiring flexibility and a continuous-improvement mindset. Client & Stakeholder Management Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, consultants, vendors, and jurisdictional officials. Lead project meetings, document decisions, and communicate project progress. Manage expectations, anticipate challenges, and proactively expedite risks. Risk Management & Quality Control Identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies across design, production, logistics, and installation stages. Support factory and field QA/QC processes, ensuring modular assemblies meet Reframe standards. Ensure all work complies with local codes, safety regulations, and company quality standards. Startup & Innovation Expectations Thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities. Contribute to developing new internal processes, playbooks, documentation, and best practices. Be willing to roll up your sleeves, jumping into detailed coordination, problem-solving on the floor, and supporting hands‑on tasks when needed. Qualifications Required 5–10 years of experience as a Project Manager in construction, modular construction, design-build, real estate development, or a related field. Strong understanding of project budgeting, scheduling, and contract management. Proven experience managing subcontractors, consultants, and cross-disciplinary teams. Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, MEP, and shop drawings. Exceptional communication, leadership, and organizational skills. Comfortable using project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Procore, PlanGrid, MS Project, BIM tools, or similar). Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and pivot quickly based on evolving conditions. Preferred Experience in modular construction, prefabrication, manufacturing, robotics, or tech-enabled construction environments. Background with Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Lean manufacturing principles, or industrialized construction. Familiarity with VDC/BIM coordination workflows. Startup experience or a clear track record of operating in fast-changing environments. Knowledge of permitting and inspection processes for modular or factory-built housing. Personal Attributes Solutions-oriented problem-solver who thrives on tackling challenges. Flexible and adaptive, comfortable working through ambiguity and change. Collaborative team player who builds strong relationships across disciplines. Curious, innovative, and eager to help redefine how construction gets done. Why Join Reframe Systems? Opportunity to shape the future of housing and construction technology. Work with a mission-driven team passionate about innovation and impact. Fast-paced, collaborative startup environment with room to grow. Chance to influence new systems, processes, and products from the ground up. #J-18808-Ljbffr Dormont Manufacturing Co
