About The Position

Christman Pool, part of the Easton Select Group family of brands, is seeking an experienced and hands-on Renovation & Construction Manager to oversee pool renovation and construction operations throughout the greater Portland, Maine area. This position is responsible for managing the full project lifecycle from permitting, planning, and scheduling through field execution, quality control, and final customer handoff while ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and within budget. The ideal candidate is a strong field leader with solid project management and administrative skills.
