Description:

Hybrid 4 days onsite in Greenwood Village, CO

Our client seeks a Project Manager to drive a portfolio of high-priority network equipment reliability issues from investigation through fix, deployment, and closeout. The role sits within a Reliability and Quality PMO and partners with Principal Engineers who own technical solutions, while the PM owns planning, tracking, coordination, and delivery cadence across initiatives focused on reliability, quality, production issues, security-related work, data-oriented efforts, and platform stability improvements. This is not a traditional budget-heavy PM role.

Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
