Project Management Supervisor Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Purple Land Management (PLM) is seeking experienced Project Land Managers to lead land services projects across the United States. This role is ideal for professionals who combine a strong foundation in land services with demonstrated success leading projects, teams, and client engagements.

They are responsible for staffing projects, managing schedules and budgets, ensuring quality deliverables, communicating with clients, and helping teams successfully execute complex land services projects.
This is not an in-house landman role. While land knowledge is essential, the position leans heavily toward project leadership, communication, accountability, client service, and execution. The ideal candidate understands land services work well enough to effectively direct projects while possessing the leadership and project management skills necessary to guide teams, solve problems, and drive results.

PLM supports clients across oil and gas, carbon capture, direct lithium extraction, renewable energy, telecommunications, infrastructure, and other land-intensive industries.

• Review project scope and ensure teams remain aligned with client requirements.
• Assist with complex operational and technical challenges.
