Balance work from office environment and various types of job sites/accounts.
Travel by car or plane as needed to visit job sites in various states.
Extended walking or standing while visiting project sites at client facilities.
Manage multiple disciplines and meet tight timelines while exceeding client expectations.

Education & Experience:

5+ years of experience in project management, with at least 3 years in food service venues and/or commercial kitchen design/construction.
Experience working in hospitality, healthcare, education, or corporate dining environments is preferred.
