Project Manager – Commercial Playground & Site Projects


Greater Orlando (Longwood, FL)


We’re hiring a Project Manager to join a small, fast-moving team that designs and builds commercial playgrounds, park spaces, and recreational environments for municipalities and communities across Central Florida.


This is not your typical large-scale construction PM role. Our projects typically range from $100K to $3M, and you’ll manage multiple projects at once from planning through installation.


If you enjoy seeing a project come to life and want to work on projects that actually impact communities (parks, schools, and playgrounds), this could be a great fit.


What You’ll Be Doing

This role is primarily office-based in Longwood, with regular local site visits.


You’ll be responsible for keeping multiple projects moving forward simultaneously, coordinating between clients, vendors, field crews, and internal teams.


Typical responsibilities include:

  • Managing multiple playground and park construction projects from kickoff to completion
  • Coordinating schedules, materials, and subcontractors
  • Tracking project budgets, timelines, and deliverables
  • Communicating with municipalities, contractors, and vendors
  • Reviewing plans, shop drawings, and site layouts
  • Visiting job sites throughout Central Florida to ensure projects stay on track
  • Supporting permitting and documentation when needed


Expect roughly 75% office coordination / 25% field visits.


Preferred Experience

  • 2–5 years of project management experience in construction or site development
  • Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
  • Ability to read site plans, civil drawings, or architectural plans
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Familiarity with construction budgeting and scheduling
  • Comfortable coordinating vendors, contractors, and clients


Software experience with Bluebeam, AutoCAD, or construction management tools is helpful but not required.


What Makes This Role Unique

You’ll be working on projects that are fun, visible, and community-focused — parks, playgrounds, and outdoor recreational spaces used by thousands of families.


You’ll also be joining a family-owned company that has been designing and building recreational spaces since the late 1980s, with a reputation for quality and long-term client relationships.


You’ll likely enjoy this role if you prefer hands-on project management in a small team environment rather than managing a single massive project for a large GC.


If you’re an organized project manager who enjoys coordinating moving parts and wants to work on projects that make communities better, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today to learn more.
