The Project Manager Supervisor is accountable for execution across a portfolio of projects (cost, schedule, quality, and customer satisfaction) and for day-to-day leadership of the project team. This role assigns and prioritizes work, coaches team members, ensures standard processes are followed, removes roadblocks, and serves as an escalation point for internal and external stakeholders while maintaining ownership of Vertiv scope delivery.
