Project Manager – Hazardous Material Storage

Are you an experienced Project Manager with a passion for executing high-quality and complex projects? Join our dynamic team at Herdman Architecture + Design, where we specialize in delivering innovative and efficient industrial spaces. We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Project Manager to lead projects from concept to completion, ensuring seamless coordination between design teams, consultants, and clients.

The Project Manager will play a critical role in overseeing project execution, focusing on concrete tilt-up industrial buildings and other commercial projects.

Our culture is built on accountability and teamwork—we set clear expectations, own our commitments, and follow through for each other and our clients. We work with a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose: we communicate directly, step in when someone needs help, and celebrate wins together. We take pride in delivering excellent work, and when deadlines or client needs spike, we show up for one another—while also focusing on strong planning, clear priorities, and continual process improvements so the pace stays healthy and sustainable as we grow.
