As Production Manager, you will be responsible for keeping our project teams organized, efficient, accountable, and aligned. You will work closely with the CEO, Leadership Team, Project Managers, Site Supervisors, and field staff to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the high-quality standards expected by PWS clients.
The ultimate goal of this role is to reduce project risk, improve team performance, protect profitability, and help create a strong, positive production culture across all active projects.

- Monitoring project budgets and proactively flagging cost issues, overages, or risks
- Reviewing project schedules, staffing requirements, Purchase Orders, Change Orders, and open issues with Project Managers
- Hosting weekly production meetings for each active project with the assigned Project Manager and Site Supervisor
- Reviewing and approving client-facing project status reports before they are sent
- Reviewing Purchase Orders and Change Orders for accuracy and timeliness
- Approving Harvest timesheets weekly and Dext expenses three times per week for accuracy

- Updating and maintaining PWS Production One Sheets as needed
- Holding production team members accountable to their roles, responsibilities, and performance expectations
- Performing annual performance reviews using the PWS review process and core values
- Ensuring proper handoffs between Sales and Production at the start of each project
- Ensuring proper handoffs from Production back to Sales or client care at project completion
- Ensuring deficiency and warranty processes are followed to reduce cost, delays, and client frustration
