Shop - Experienced Project Manager, Fulfillment Center

Responsibilities

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.

• Lead site selection, design, construction, and handover, managing budget, schedule, and quality.
• Coordinate with landlords, general contractors, design firms, and inspectors to ensure compliance with building codes.

• Drive all government permit applications (building, occupancy, environmental, etc.).
• Interface with municipal, fire, environmental, and other regulatory agencies to ensure legal compliance pre- and post-construction.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Safety Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field.
• 5 years of project management experience, including at least 3 years managing new warehouse / industrial construction projects in the U.S.
• Proven track record of end-to-end warehouse construction with all required licenses/permits obtained.
• Expert knowledge of U.S. warehouse permitting processes (building, fire, environmental, etc.).
• Proficiency with project management tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, etc.).
• Ability to work across time zones (e.g., regular calls with Asia/Europe teams).
• Strong driver mindset – ability to influence peer departments without formal authority to meet deadlines, excellent stakeholder management (government officials, contractors, internal executives) and detail-oriented with big-picture perspective.

• PMP or PgMP certification.
• Experience with automated warehouses (AGVs, AS/RS).
• Familiarity with LEED or sustainable building standards.
• Prior experience building and leading a project team (recruiting, training, performance management).
• Deep working knowledge of OSHA standards; OSHA 30-hour or safety certifications (CSP, CHST) strongly preferred.
