Careers at HELM
Founded over ten years ago, HELM is a planet- and people-forward firm with expertise in construction, management, leadership, and training — and on a mission to revolutionize the building industry. In an industry dominated by white cisgender men, the HELM team is majority women, nonbinary, trans, and queer, and we are actively working to disrupt toxic masculinity and racism to create space for women, LGBTQIA, and BIPOC people in the trades.
We're always on the lookout for great people to join our consulting, coaching, and project management teams. Sign up for our newsletter to find out about new openings.
Senior Project Manager / Owner's Project Manager
HELM is seeking a full-time construction Senior Project Manager / Owner's Project Manager to join our growing team and expand our impact. Our ideal candidate is an experienced project manager who has worked in commercial and multifamily residential construction for a minimum of 10 years and can juggle managing multiple projects at the same time. As an Owner's Project Manager at HELM, you'll work directly with nonprofits, community organizations, and mission-driven clients on projects that are genuinely interesting and diverse. Recent work includes the adaptive reuse of a historic downtown church into affordable housing with a small business on the main level, a new lodge at a rural Maine camp supporting programming for students and teachers, and the transformation of a former library into a vibrant performing arts center. No two projects are the same - and through your expertise and engagement, you'll make a real contribution to each project's success and to the communities they serve.
Communication and organization skills, along with hands-on experience in the construction trades, are key to success in this role. For this role, we are looking for individuals with experience in housing development and non-profit projects. Familiarity with green building techniques, net-zero construction, Passive House, and Living Building Challenge is a plus. We offer the opportunity to work from home in a fully virtual workplace, or from our main office in Brattleboro, Vermont. Travel to project sites throughout New England is required on a regular basis, therefore, we will prioritize candidates located in New England states. Access to personal transportation is required, and all travel time and mileage to sites is reimbursed.
To apply, please send a cover letter and resume via Breezy. This position is open until filled.
