APD Regional Project Manager

DEPARTMENT MISSION

Azure Standard is an independent, family-owned company committed to inspiring healthy and abundant living. We value strong relationships, quality work and service, clean and sustainable practices, personal transparency, and making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work. Those values shape how we build and maintain our facilities and how we work with team members, contractors, vendors, and local partners.

POSITION OVERVIEW

We’re looking for an APD Regional Project Manager to lead construction, renovation, and maintenance projects across Azure facilities and properties in the Dufur area. This is a hands-on, field-oriented position for someone with broad construction knowledge who can take a project from the ground up, lead crews and subcontractors, solve problems in the field, and deliver quality work while keeping schedules and costs under control.

This position reports to and works closely with the Director of Building & Maintenance and serves as the primary APD lead for assigned regional projects. The role involves reading plans, determining labor and material needs, organizing the work, coordinating people and trades, and taking ownership of day-to-day execution. While some desk work is part of the job, this is primarily a field-oriented position that balances administrative responsibilities with on-site leadership—managing the jobsite, working alongside the crew when needed, coordinating vendors, purchasing materials, tracking costs, and handling the administrative work that keeps projects moving.

Projects range from residential repairs and renovations to substantial commercial construction and facility improvements.

• Manage payroll and timekeeping for assigned team members and participate in hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management
• Work within project budgets, track costs, purchases, and labor, and look for practical ways to control expenses without compromising safety or quality
• Develop material lists, obtain pricing, coordinate purchasing and deliveries, and make supply runs when needed
• Build strong working relationships with contractors, tradespeople, suppliers, and local partners
• Coordinate effectively with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, excavation, concrete, and other specialized trades
• Monitor workmanship and ensure completed work meets Azure’s standards for quality and completeness
• Coordinate construction and maintenance needs at Azure facilities within the region and respond to unexpected issues as they arise
• Track invoices, receipts, purchases, labor, and project costs; maintain useful spreadsheets, schedules, and documentation
• Communicate clearly with the APD Director, APD team, facility managers, contractors, and vendors
• Use spreadsheets, email, project tracking tools, and (preferably) SketchUp or similar software for layouts, estimating, or planning
• Travel regularly between Azure facilities, properties, vendors, and project sites throughout the assigned region in Oregon and Southern Washington.
