PROJECT MANAGER
We're looking for a Project Manager who thrives on turning complex projects into smooth, on-time, on-budget results. If you enjoy being the person who keeps every moving piece connected, from the client relationship down to the last fixture on site, this role was built for you. You'll take ownership of our client's projects from the moment they're awarded through final closeout, acting as the glue between clients, sales, engineering, procurement, installation, commissioning, and finance. You'll also guide and support Project Coordinators, helping the whole team deliver work that's on time, on budget, and to spec.
Key Responsibilities
Take ownership of the master project schedule, spotting issues early, setting priorities, and coordinating across sales, design, estimating, procurement, installation, commissioning, client services, and finance
Serve as the main point of contact linking clients, sales, operations, finance, and leadership
Build and maintain detailed project timelines using Excel or dedicated software, adjusting dates as real world issues come up and keeping the project on track
Spot potential risks early and put plans in place to manage them before they become problems
Review contracts, proposals, RFPs, and budgets closely to confirm delivery matches what was promised
Plan and run internal and client meetings, including kickoffs, progress check ins, closeouts, and postmortems
Field client questions on status, timelines, invoicing, and service needs, keeping satisfaction high throughout
Draft and oversee purchase orders and contract paperwork with Project Coordinators and the Procurement team
Work with the engineering team to coordinate custom shop drawings and photometric reports based on client requirements
Liaise with third party vendors and partners, including coordinating on site commissioning
Manage change requests with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers, keeping accurate change order logs and documentation
Track and report on material arrivals to job sites, keeping schedules aligned
Resolve on site installation issues quickly, whether that's a missed fixture, a defective product, or subpar work
Maintain and reconcile project budgets, investigate variances, and support accounting with what's needed for invoicing and payment sign off
Help build and refine SOPs and templates, contributing ideas as the company continues to grow
Qualifications
5+ years of project management experience, ideally in lighting, construction, or manufacturing
Track record managing multiple projects, schedules, and budgets simultaneously from start to finish
Comfortable reading and working through contracts, proposals, RFPs, specs, and change orders
Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and juggle competing demands
Clear communicator with solid stakeholder management and customer service instincts
Familiarity with project management tools such as Asana or Monday.com, along with Microsoft Office and Excel
Detail oriented, analytical, and proactive when solving problems
Bilingual in English and French is an asset
Who You Are
A confident communicator who can hold firm with clients and vendors while still building strong relationships
Organized enough to manage many priorities at once without losing sight of the details
Energized by a fast growing, fast moving environment
A collaborative team player who supports and elevates those around them
Genuinely interested in technology, innovation, and where lighting solutions are headed
If this sounds like the kind of role where you can make a real impact and grow alongside a team that values initiative and ownership, we would love to hear from you.
