Project Manager - TriSearch

The ideal candidate will have experience managing Military Government Contracts. You get excited about working on projects such as a World War 2 era hangar retrofit with a 4ft thick slab; a custom floor project for a space launch vehicle for a hangar in the New Mexico’s desert, and a complex project such as integrating ILDFA in the first new built F35 12 bay hangar complex for the US Navy valued over 180M. All simultaneously and at a high pace while working through engineering submittal packages so dense that they make computers crash.

You love the fact that you will be part of fundamentally changing hangars for US and Allied Militaries and commercial airlines to environmentally safe and sustainable buildings.

You inherently understand and are not intimidated by the facts that delayed projects, quality issues and bad client experiences can destroy Safespill’s long term success.

If this all resonates with you, this role might be a fit.

Our company…

Fire suppression systems containing firefighting foam have been widely used in military aircraft and commercial airline hangars. The foam contains PFAS chemicals (also known as "forever chemicals"), These chemicals have been linked to ovarian, thyroid, and testicular cancer, infant birth defects and many other health issues.

The solution we developed, the ILDFA, eliminates the need for firefighting foam systems and is the only effective alternative to firefighting foam. ILDFA has been selected as the preferred fire protection method by the US Navy, and many commercial clients. It is Safespill’s mission to transition the world to environmentally safe fire protection.

Our team currently has around 75 members and is growing. Our most successful team members connect to our mission, thrive in a fast-paced environment, deliver individual, high-quality results as part of a team, and want to do better every day.
