Position Overview

We are looking for a Field Project Manager who can take ownership of our field operations—managing technicians, running projects, and ensuring jobs are completed efficiently, profitably, and to a high standard.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will not be behind a desk. You will be actively involved in the field—leading crews, solving problems, configuring systems, and making sure every job is completed the right way the first time.

You will be responsible for coordinating daily installs and longer-term projects, managing technician performance, maintaining install quality, and ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget.

This is a leadership role with direct impact on company expansion.
