What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Project Manager & Field Operations Lead position at Wildfire Roof Sprinklers?
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.

customer completion.
This role combines:
- customer communication
- scheduling
- operational coordination

You must be comfortable operating in active construction environments and working directly

installation teams and helping build operational infrastructure.
