Job Description

About the team

We are seeking a project manager to lead end-to-end new warehouse construction projects in the U.S., with deep expertise in safety compliance, permitting, licensing, and OSHA standards. This role requires cross-time-zone availability (e.g., Asia-Pacific and Europe), and strong stakeholder coordination skills to drive cross-functional teams toward on-time project delivery. The position may evolve to lead a team based on business needs.

- Interface with municipal, fire, environmental, and other regulatory agencies to ensure legal compliance pre- and post-construction.

Safety & OSHA Compliance

- Develop and enforce site-specific safety plans in full compliance with OSHA standards.

- Conduct safety training, regular inspections, incident investigations, and corrective actions to foster a zero-incident culture.

Team & Cross-Functional Coordination

- In the future, build and lead a project team (engineers, safety officers, external consultants) as business needs grow.

- Drive internal departments (Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, Operations, IT) to deliver against project milestones.

- Coordinate across time zones (e.g., Asia, Europe) to align U.S. site activities with global stakeholders.

Timeline & Results Management

- Develop detailed project plans (WBS, critical path, resource calendars) and track progress rigorously.

- Proactively identify risks (permitting delays, safety violations, supply chain disruptions) and implement mitigation plans.

Communication & Reporting

- Provide regular status updates, risk assessments, and decision points to leadership.
