Senior Project Manager

The Senior Project Manager will be responsible for all aspects of a project from the time of award until the project closes out, monitoring the health of the project and providing regular reporting to the Leadership Team and our customers. The Senior Project Manager will report directly to the President at our Vancouver, WA office, and work closely with the Project Managers, Office Manager, Foremen, and VP of Business Development.
