The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  NexTech Systems is hiring a Project Manager in Joliet, IL.

• Role description

  On any given day, the Project Manager at NexTech Systems juggles Facilitation and Cultural Awareness, and somehow makes both look deliberate. What lands on the table: 7-plus years behind you, $95,000 - $148,000 for it, and a runway at NexTech Systems that keeps climbing.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Absorb 7 of context fast and start contributing sooner
  • Hold the line on quality when deadlines start whispering shortcuts
  • Document the why, not just the what, behind every Facilitation decision
  • Read an Active Listening system you didn't build and improve it anyway
  • Balance independent work with effective internship team collaboration
  • Juggle customer-centric priorities without dropping the ones that matter
  • Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes

  What You'll Bring

  • A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
  • Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
  • Comfort being measured against a clear manager bar
  • At least 8 years building expertise within the general space
  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • Hands-on familiarity with Facilitation, sharpened by Cultural Awareness side projects
  • A collaborator who makes the manager review feel less like an exam

  Our relentlessly curious approach to general has made NexTech Systems a go-to choice for companies throughout IL. Autonomy here comes with a partner: ask for help the moment you're stuck on Conflict Resolution.

  Secure $95,000 - $148,000, flexible remote options, equity, and a mentorship program designed to help you reach the next manager.
