Project Manager

17d•$110,000 - $140,000•Hybrid

About The Position

HITEC protects the power behind the facilities the modern world cannot afford to lose: data centers, hospitals, airports, stock exchanges, and industrial plants. When the grid fails, HITEC systems carry the load without interruption. This role is crucial for ensuring the company only sells what it can actually build and deliver on time, making the promise of the sale a reality. The Project Manager owns a system from the purchase order to the day it comes to life on a customer's site. This position is a build, not a backfill, as the company is scaling project execution to keep pace with mission-critical power demand. The role requires individuals who can be trusted to carry a project end to end without constant management.

Requirements

Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.
Project management experience running complex projects end to end.
Military equivalent: company or battalion-level operations officer, logistics or maintenance officer, or senior project NCO who owned a mission from planning through execution.
Strong technical aptitude. No single discipline is required; HITEC teaches the systems.
Military equivalent: any technical background in power generation, mechanical or electrical maintenance, engineering, or utilities.
Ability to coordinate and influence people who are not your direct reports.
Military equivalent: leading attached or joint units, coordinating with contractors or host-nation partners, liaison duty.
Willingness to travel roughly 40% during delivery, installation, and commissioning, across the US and Canada.
Military equivalent: deployment, field rotations, and TDY tempo.
Comfortable being the customer face.
Military equivalent: liaison officer, civil affairs, or any role that owned an external relationship under pressure.
Houston onsite is preferred because the engineering and service teams are based there and the learning happens by being around them. Remote is possible for the right person; one PM on the team is already remote.

Responsibilities

Own and execute two to three concurrent UPS power-system projects across all six project phases, delivering each on time and on budget.
Run the full procurement cycle on every project: issue RFQs to the supply chain, bid-level, select the compliant supplier, negotiate the final price, and write the purchase order within project budget.
Pull all supplier drawings into one complete submittal package, secure customer approval, and release suppliers to production on schedule.
Coordinate delivery logistics and oversee customer-hired contractors through installation, conducting field spot checks every couple of weeks to protect the equipment and hold the schedule.
Coordinate the HITEC startup and commissioning team to bring each system to life and turn it over to service with the customer satisfied.
Resolve issues before they escalate as the single customer-facing owner, protecting the company's delivery promise on every project.
Translate between parties who do not share a language: suppliers, customer contractors, and engineers.
See the whole project, build the road map, and spot the risk before it becomes a fire.
Execute without hand-holding, taking initiative and making decisions.
Maintain customer-first composure, staying level when facing customer issues and moving straight to the fix.
Act as a team player, backing up peers across regions without being asked.
