Executive Project Manager

Summary

This is a rare opportunity for an early-career professional to work directly alongside the President and executive team of a growing, successful group of businesses spanning district energy, building services, and energy infrastructure development. You will see how strategy is set, how decisions get made, and how initiatives move from idea to execution across multiple companies.

The Executive Project Manager is the communication and collaboration hub for the development and implementation of strategic initiatives. You will help the President shape strategy and operational improvement opportunities, translate priorities into clear plans for the executive team, and keep implementation on schedule. The role demands strict confidentiality, a strong work ethic, and exceptional organization and communication.
