About The Position

The Project Manager is an integral part of the MTD team, working internally with Sales and Operations, and serving as the face of MTD to the Client during their projects. The Project Manager is responsible for coordinating and supporting the execution of temporary water infrastructure systems for large-scale live events, including music festivals and sporting events. This role operates across multiple concurrent projects and ensures the successful delivery of complex infrastructure deployments that support tens of thousands of attendees per event. Working from design packages developed by the internal design team (in conjunction with our clients), the Project Manager is responsible for executing project plans by coordinating schedules, logistics, materials, vendors, and communication between internal teams and clients.
