Project Manager - Construction Management / Fabrication Background

About the role

As a Project Manager (PM) at Lime Media, you will own the coordination of assigned jobs from the moment sales hands off a sold project to the moment it leaves the shop. This is not a craft role — you are not building the work, you're the person who ensures the right work happens in the right sequence, on time, on budget, and to spec by managing the handoffs between sales, creative, purchasing, the shop floor, and activation management.

The PM engages clients directly and consistently, building trust through reliability, credibility, and emotional intelligence — the same qualities that keep small issues from becoming client-facing incidents. Our day-to-day clients are producers at world-class experiential agencies and Fortune 1000 companies.

Responsibilities

This role is built around outcomes — not a task list. The key outcomes for this role include:

• Milestone Hit-Rate — Every project hits its key milestones, tracked and visible in real time.
• Quality Finish-Out — Shop output meets Lime's finish-out standard on every job, with no re-work driven by missed coordination.
• Output matches the desired and client-approved scope.
• Budget Adherence — Every job finishes at or under its production budget.
• Making Trades — Adding scope means adding time or money, through internal trades or client change requests.
• Client Feedback Participation — Clients engage with feedback requests — a sign the relationship is healthy enough to be candid.
• Client Satisfaction — The PM-influenced portion of the client journey scores high on standardized feedback requests.

Requirements

The following are required for this role:

• 1–3 years of experience coordinating projects in a construction or fabrication environment.
• Demonstrated ability to run real-time coordination on a shop floor, construction setting, or jobsite — not from a desk.
• Demonstrated ability to manage, report, and mitigate risks.
• Demonstrated ability to manage, report, and update multiple stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to build, manage, and report on timelines/schedules.
• Demonstrated ability to process and manage requested changes correctly.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with internal teams, clients, and vendors.
• Demonstrated ability to create, manage, and report on budgets.
• Proficiency with MS Office / Google Suite and project management software.

Qualifications

The following are nice-to-haves for this role:

• Experience with experiential marketing, set design, branded environments, or events production.
• A bachelor's degree.
• PMI-related certifications (CAPM, PMP).
• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing concepts (flow, visual management, waste reduction).

Skills

The following skills are required for this role:

• Ability to see problems before they escalate, and deal with them in real time.
• Comfort holding people accountable to a schedule without having authority over them.
• Organizational skills to run a portfolio of concurrent customized jobs.
• Constant and written communication — status updates, blockers, and decisions are documented, not just remembered.
