Project Manager Construction
About The Position
LIGHTWORKS is looking for a highly organized, confident and ambitious Project Manager to help lead complex, high-end residential construction projects. This role is ideal for someone early in their construction-management career who has strong communication and planning skills, has been exposed to multi-million-dollar residential projects, and is ready for greater ownership. You may currently be a Project Engineer, Assistant Project Manager or Project Manager working for a luxury residential builder or General Contractor. What matters most is your ability to bring structure, communication, accountability and forward planning to complicated projects. This is not an administrative Project Coordinator position.

LIGHTWORKS projects can include electrical, lighting, lighting control, motorized shades, AV, networking, security, energy management and integrated home technology.
