    Job Description

    Overview

    The Installation Project Manager (Internally titled Installation & Service Leader) leads Landscape Forms installation projects from planning and site readiness through execution and closeout. You’ll oversee schedules, budgets, field resources, and subcontractors while partnering with customers and internal teams to ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to our quality standards.

    Success in this role comes from a strong construction background, project management expertise, and the ability to lead teams in the field. You’ll anticipate challenges, keep projects moving, and bring the right people and resources together to deliver a successful installation.

    Travel will be significant during the first 6–12 months as you learn our products, teams, and installation processes firsthand, with travel decreasing as you become established in the role.

    Who We Are:

    Landscape Forms is the industry leader in integrated solutions of high-design site furniture and advanced LED lighting. For more than 50 years we have produced site furnishings that help designers and other clients achieve beautiful, functional environments that enhance the experience of outdoor space. Our secret is simple. Design, Culture, and Craft drive everything we do.

    What You Can Expect

    Support, stability, and the opportunity to grow within a design-driven, collaborative environment.

    Landscape Forms takes pride in offering a competitive benefits package including, but not limited to, insurance benefits (available your first day), 401(k), tuition reimbursement, wellness programs, quarterly profit-sharing bonuses, and paid time off.

    How You Contribute:

    • Lead installation projects from planning and site readiness through execution and closeout
    • Own project schedules, budgets, installation resources, and overall execution to keep projects on track
    • Lead and develop internal installation team members while coordinating a broader network of third-party installation crews and subcontractors
    • Manage subcontractor schedules, performance, site requirements, and project expectations
    • Review blueprints, project plans, specifications, and installation documentation to understand scope, sequencing, materials, resources, and potential project risks
    • Participate in project and pre-installation meetings with customers, contractors, Engineering, Project Management, Sales, Production, and Supply Chain
    • Assess site readiness and proactively address issues that could impact installation schedules, quality, or cost
    • Coordinate field activities including schedule sequencing, RFIs, change orders, punch-list items, and project closeout
    • Serve as a key customer and contractor contact throughout installation, providing clear communication and resolving project or field challenges
    • Ensure installations meet Landscape Forms’ expectations for safety, quality, workmanship, and customer experience
    • Establish goals and performance metrics and provide visibility and updates to leadership and key partners
    • Evaluate and improve installation processes to increase efficiency, consistency, and support continued business growth

    Criteria for Success:

    • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or a related field
    • Significant project management experience in commercial construction, with strong knowledge of construction processes and active jobsites
    • Experience managing complex projects, including schedules, budgets, site coordination, and project documentation
    • Proven experience leading field teams and managing contractors or subcontractors
    • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, construction plans, specifications, and technical documentation
    • Strong problem-solving, organization, and decision-making skills with a high level of ownership and accountability
    • Confident communicator, comfortable working with customers, contractors, field teams, and cross-functional partners
    • OSHA 30 certification and knowledge of applicable construction permitting requirements
    • Valid driver’s license and ability to meet company driving requirements
    • Ability and willingness to travel extensively during the first 6–12 months, with travel decreasing as you become established in the role

    If you’re an experienced construction project leader who enjoys bringing together people, schedules, resources, and solutions to successfully deliver complex projects, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
