Full Job Description
Overview
We're looking for an experienced Project Manager with deep knowledge of fabrication and experiential builds. This is a senior individual-contributor role-no direct reports-but you will be the point person and subject-matter expert for all fabrication-intensive projects. The right candidate is process-driven, detail-oriented, and able to work cross-functionally with technical design, production, and installation teams to deliver high-quality projects reliably and efficiently.

Core Responsibilities

Project Leadership & Execution

  • Own all aspects of fabrication-focused projects from kickoff through installation.
  • Partner closely with Technical Design, Prepress, Production, and Installation teams to develop project-specific workflows, work-back schedules, and production strategies.
  • Ensure installers receive a clear, written "run of show" / playbook tailored to each job and confirm the correct install team is assigned.

Process Development & Continuous Improvement

  • Help advance BluEdge's expansion into experiential and fabrication-heavy work by establishing clear, repeatable PM processes.
  • Create and refine toolkits and documentation, including:
    • Work-back schedules
    • Workflow strategies
    • Standard operating procedures for fabrication projects
  • Identify bottlenecks between Sales, Project Management, and Production, and recommend corrective actions to improve throughput and reliability.
  • Clarify and document what falls within a PM's scope-and what does not-to ensure consistency across the team.

Systems & Platform Adoption

  • Become fluent in BluCore (our proprietary internal software) and support the ongoing rollout of the platform within the project management organization.
  • Ensure your projects are fully run through BluCore, using templates, scheduling tools, checklists, and reporting as designed.

Client Communication

  • Serve as the primary project-facing contact for fabrication clients.
  • Align early on scope, expectations, timeline, and requirements.
  • Communicate changes, risks, and updates clearly and proactively.
  • Build trust through reliability and strong technical understanding.
  • (Optional/Not required) Leverage pre-existing relationships to introduce potential opportunities to BluEdge.


Cross-Functional Strengths (Used as Needed)

  • Strong understanding of installation methods and on-site coordination
  • Ability to qualify project scope and ensure feasibility before work begins
  • Comfort participating in build strategy discussions with internal teams


Ideal Background

  • Significant hands-on experience managing fabrication or experiential production projects
  • Deep understanding of vendor coordination, materials, production methods, and install logistics
  • Highly organized, with a strong ability to create and enforce structure
  • Excellent communicator who can bridge technical teams and clients
  • Comfortable operating independently as the fabrication PM expert
