About the Role

This is a high-impact, senior-level project management role for a leader who can both execute complex mass timber projects and elevate project management as a function. In addition to owning assigned projects end-to-end, you will establish structure, accountability, and discipline in how projects are planned and managed upstream—ensuring consistent, complete information is delivered to operations and issues are surfaced early, before they impact execution.

You’ll serve as the connective tissue between Sterling’s technical experts, clients, architects, contractors, and internal operations—driving predictable delivery, continuous improvement, and world-class customer outcomes.

Project Leadership & Functional Discipline:
Lead multi-disciplinary teams to deliver CLT projects from contract award through final completion, while also driving disciplined, repeatable project management practices across the upstream lifecycle.

Stakeholder Management:
While the sales representative acts as the main liaison for the client, the project manager plays a crucial role in ensuring seamless communication and coordination among all parties. By providing timely and accurate information to clients, architects, general contractors, and internal teams, the project manager helps build strong relationships, manages expectations, and proactively resolves any issues that arise.

Technical Coordination:
Work closely with Sterling’s designers and engineers to ensure that project delivery aligns with the scope and terms outlined in the contract. Sales representatives shape proposals and pricing, while the project manager focuses on translating approved plans into successful execution. This includes verifying technical accuracy, maintaining compliance with industry standards, and actively monitoring project progress to ensure all deliverables meet contractual requirements.

Scheduling & Budgeting:
Develop and maintain detailed project schedules, budgets, and forecasts. Track progress, control costs, and drive projects to meet or exceed margin targets.
