Purpose of the Role

The Project Delivery & Operations Manager will play a hands-on role in driving the successful delivery of H3 Zoom's managed services and inspection projects across façade, interior, and built environment inspection workflows.

This role is designed for someone who is operationally strong, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing project execution from start to finish — including project planning, milestone tracking, stakeholder coordination, report readiness, QA/QC follow-up, subcontractor coordination, and delivery documentation.

The role is not purely administrative. The successful candidate must be able to work closely with internal teams, field operations, AI/product teams, subcontractors, clients, and technical reviewers to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within scope, at the required quality standard, and in line with customer expectations.

This is a lean team. There is no large support structure beneath you. We need someone who gets things done themselves — plans, tracks, resolves, delivers. If you thrive by delegating and overseeing, this role is not the right fit. If you love being in the thick of it while also thinking strategically, read on.
