Project Delivery Manager (US West Coast)

About Citygreen Citygreen designs and supplies engineered systems that let trees and stormwater infrastructure thrive in hard urban spaces. Our products, including StrataVault and StrataCell, are specified by landscape architects, engineers and municipalities across North America and Australia. Our North American business is growing, and we need someone on the ground who makes sure our systems get built the way they were designed. The role As Project Delivery Manager for the West Coast, you'll be our technical and construction lead for North America. You'll review installations against approved drawings, own construction quality review in BuildPass, brief contractors before they start, and back our sales team on every technical question from specifiers. You'll be the most senior technical person in your time zone, with our head office in Sydney. That means making sound calls on your own and knowing which ones to escalate. We're also exploring installation services in the US. This role is designed to grow into full project delivery (running installed projects, supervising subcontractors, owning programme and margin) if and when we take that step. We're looking for someone who has done that work before and would want to help build it here. What You'll Do Construction review and quality Review installations against approved drawings: levels, dimensions, soil volumes, compaction, layering and connectionsOwn BuildPass review for all North American projects.
