As Project Manager you will work closely with the COO and the wider team to help drive projects from concept through to installation and operation.

This is not a theoretical or purely internal role. It involves coordinating physical product delivery across suppliers fabrication partners and installation environments. It is practical fast paced and full of moving parts. This is also not about producing reports from a distance. It is about taking discussions turning them into clear actions and making sure things get done.
