Project​/Program Manager Logistics

Description Our direct end client is looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead a critical facility shutdown and relocation project. This initiative involves the closure of a building in Washington, D.C., and Canada, with all operations, assets, and infrastructure being relocated to multiple new locations. The successful candidate will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing this transition seamlessly, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.

Given the complexity of this project and limited internal experience in executing similar large-scale transitions, we are seeking a candidate who has successfully led facility closures, relocations, and network transitions. This is a 100% remote role – however may need to travel to Canada (so passport would be required).
