  • Develop program management processes, dashboards and reporting, giving leadership clear visibility of schedule, cost and delivery risks

The Person

  • Background in program management within modular construction, architecture, automotive, manufacturing or comparable physical product development

  • Proven ownership of schedule, budget and risk through a phase-gate process, from early design through production or construction

  • Experience delivering prototypes or first article builds, with the technical understanding to read drawings and coordinate multidisciplinary teams

  • Experience using Microsoft Project, Asana or comparable scheduling tools, alongside construction or engineering document control platforms

Why Join
