Project Manager Needed

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

El Dorado Technologies, LLC, requires a project manager to plan, coordinate, and drive completion of internal and client-facing technical projects.

This role is a practical blend of scheduling, documentation, communication, and execution. The successful candidate must have strong attention to detail and be eager to help create a positive work environment and collaborative creative process among geeks, suits, tradespeople, tenants, and homeowners.

Although this is an ideal opportunity for someone who has already managed projects end-to-end, all qualified applicants will be considered.

DUTIES and RESPONSIBILITIES

Under general direction but sometimes without clear guidelines, and while documenting new processes and procedures, the project manager will be responsible for supervising routine project management activities, including:

Working with stakeholders to define scope, goals, and success criteria, and translating those into a clear plan
Building and maintaining project schedules, milestones, and dependencies
Running routine project meetings, recording notes and decisions, tracking action items, and following up on blockers
Coordinating internal technical staff and external vendors, and maintaining clear lines of responsibility
Managing change control: identifying scope changes, documenting tradeoffs, and communicating impacts to schedule and cost
Maintaining project documentation (status reports, Gantt charts, risk registers, checklists, runbooks, approvals, and simple diagrams)
Tracking risks and issues, escalating appropriately, and helping drive resolution
Supporting procurement and logistics (ordering materials, tools, and equipment; tracking deliveries; coordinating access and appointments)
Coordinating go-live and cutover activities, including communication plans and post-change verification checklists
Supporting project closeout: handoff documentation, client sign-off, and lessons learned

Additionally, the project manager will help identify process gaps and propose small, incremental improvements that are realistic for a small, growing business.

Other duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS

A BS/BA in business, information technology, engineering, communications, or equivalent is required. More education is better.

Three to seven years of experience managing projects is required. Experience managing technical projects is preferred; experience with infrastructure projects (construction, networks, servers, migrations, SaaS rollouts, backups, HVAC) is preferred.

Applicants must:

be proficient or trainable in common software applications (word processing, spreadsheets, data entry, email, etc.);
have excellent communication skills, including on the telephone, in person, and in written form;
be able to write clear, concise documentation and status updates;
have strong organization and prioritization skills;
receive sometimes vague instructions with poise and be able to diplomatically request additional clarification when conflicting requirements or priorities arise;
recognize the inflection point between asking essential clarifying questions and needing frequent remedial instruction;
have an ability to both make sound independent decisions and use initiative when appropriate.

Experience with at least one project tracking tool is required (for example: Jira, Asana, Trello, Microsoft Project, or similar).

The best candidate will also have excellent record-keeping and note-taking habits. A large vocabulary also helps.
