Operating across workplace, healthcare, education, and public sector markets, DIRTT provides total design freedom and greater certainty in cost, schedule, and outcomes. We are a highly motivated group of people who work hard, have fun, and respect one another. We value entrepreneurial thinking, hands-on problem-solving, and collaboration, empowering our people to challenge the status quo and make a meaningful impact. Who You Are As the Project Manager, you'll coordinate product-related initiatives through DIRTT's product roadmap framework, primarily across Phases 2–6. Working closely with task owners and cross-functional stakeholders, you'll establish project timelines, coordinate gate reviews, and ensure alignment across business units.

  • Coordinate with NPI representatives across Product Development, Operations, Commercial, Technology, and other business units to ensure cross-functional alignment.

  • Establish expectations, communicate project requirements, and gather feedback from all teams involved.

  • Collaborate with executive stakeholders to support prioritization of New Product Introduction (NPI), Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), Management of Change (MOC), and End-of-Life (EOL) initiatives.

  • Improve cross-departmental visibility, communication, and collaboration through effective project management processes.

  • Identify project risks, resource constraints, process gaps, and roadblocks, implementing solutions to support successful delivery.

  • Provide regular project status updates, risk assessments, and progress reports to leadership.

  • Maintain and continuously improve documentation, templates, and tools related to the NPI process.

  • Coordinate project timelines, deliverables, and gate reviews with task owners to maintain project momentum and meet agreed-upon commitments.

  • Additional duties may be assigned that are reasonably related to the role. Responsibilities may be adjusted or reprioritized in response to evolving business needs, technology, and organizational priorities, while maintaining alignment with the overall scope, purpose, and responsibilities of the position.

  • Support continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen project execution, resource coordination, and cross-functional collaboration.
