JCK USA is building a new kind of industrial delivery organization—one that blends operational excellence, safety leadership, and multi-discipline coordination inside live, high-performance facilities. Our teams work at the intersection of automation, construction, and logistics, delivering complex installation programs with precision and discipline.

We are seeking a Jr. Project Manager from any high-risk, high-tempo operational environment (aviation, refinery operations, manufacturing, military logistics, events production, etc.) who can lead multi-team installation programs with structure and confidence.

You do not need a construction background. We provide full technical training. What we value is leadership, operational rigour, and accountability.

Multi-team coordination
Shift and schedule management
Safety and risk control
Productivity and performance tracking
Client operations alignment

If you excel at keeping teams synchronised, safe, and productive in high-stakes environments, you will thrive here.

Lead toolbox talks, hazard assessments, and safety briefings
Ensure compliance with OSHA standards and internal HSE frameworks
Model strong safety culture and zero-incident discipline

Stakeholder & Client Coordination

Collaborate with client Operations, Safety, and Area Managers
Communicate changes, risks, blockers, and mitigation strategies clearly
Maintain strong professional relationships with client and contractor teams

Documentation & Control

Maintain daily reports, shift logs, and incident documentation
Track variances vs. plan and escalate early
Drive risk management discipline across the program lifecycle

Ideal Background

You likely come from one of these environments:

Aviation operations: dispatch, ramp, station management, ground ops
