Construction Project Manager & Field Operations Lead

Help Build the Future of Wildfire Home
Protection

Wildfire Roof Sprinklers is a rapidly growing Southern California company specializing in
premium wildfire roof sprinkler systems designed to help homeowners better protect their homes
from wildfire exposure.

We work with homeowners, contractors, inspectors, installers, and real estate professionals to
deliver high-quality wildfire protection systems with an exceptional customer experience.

We are looking for a highly organized, operationally strong Project Manager who can coordinate
installations, oversee field quality, manage customers, lead crews, streamline operations, and
help scale the company as we grow.

This is not a corporate desk-management role.
We are looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, communicates
professionally, solves problems proactively, and takes ownership of outcomes.

Position Overview

The Project Manager will oversee projects from signed contract through final installation and
customer completion.

This role combines:

• customer communication
• scheduling
• operational coordination
• contractor/vendor management
• permit & inspection tracking
• logistics
• field quality control
• crew management
• project execution oversight

This is a hands-on operational role — not a desk-only management position.

The ideal candidate is comfortable both managing projects administratively and physically
visiting job sites to inspect work, maintain installation quality, coordinate crews, solve field
issues, and ensure projects meet company standards.

You must be comfortable operating in active construction environments and working directly
with installers and subcontractors.

As the company grows, this role will also take on increasing responsibility for managing
installation teams and helping build operational infrastructure.
