Job description

Project Manager

Sky Resorts | RV Park amp; MH Communities | Seasonal / Northern Michigan-Based | Full Time

Sky Resorts owns and operates RV and manufactured home (MH) communities in Michigan, Arizona and California.
Live and work where others vacation!
This full-time, year-round position offers a unique opportunity to spend summers in beautiful Northern Michigan and winters in sunny Arizona while supporting projects across our resort portfolio.

We're looking for a Project Manager who is relentlessly value-oriented, keeps a tight schedule and seeks continuous
improvement. This is a field-facing, execution-heavy role spanning MH installation coordination, infrastructure, and capital
improvement projects across the portfolio.

Responsibilities

Project Execution
• Own projects from scoping through closeout: MH installations, utility infrastructure, site improvements, amenity builds,
and capital upgrades across multiple RV/MH properties
• Gantt chart wizardry: build and maintain detailed schedules
• Digitally draw projects for clarity, accuracy and accountability
• Manage all subcontractors and vendors — scope, schedule, cost, and quality
• Onsite execution to see the work and ensure it is happening as it should
• Develop scopes of work for repeating projects (e.g. MH installation), then iterate to improve cost and quality each
cycle.
• Build relationships with inspectors and authorities having jurisdiction in order to efficiently pass inspections

Value Orientation amp; Cost Discipline
• Drive every project through a rigorous multi-quote process
• Don’t focus on cheapest or most expensive, but what provides the best value (defined as worth divided by cost)
• Track actuals versus budget at the project and line-item level; explain variances in plain language
• Build relationships with reliable, cost-competitive contractors across each market

MH-Specific
• Coordinate manufactured home deliveries, set scheduling, and installation sequences
• Manage installation subs: site prep, foundation/piers, set crew, utility tie-ins, skirting, and finish trades
• Manage permits, inspections, and certificate of occupancy across multiple jurisdictions
• Ensure compliance with HUD standards, manufacturer specs, and local codes

What We're Looking For

Required
• 2+ years of project management experience in construction, infrastructure, or land development
• Demonstrable track record of cost discipline: competitive bidding, budget management, and value-focused decision
making
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects across different sites or geographies
• Strong contractor management skills — knows how to get performance without burning relationships
• Comfortable in the field; able to evaluate work quality and call out deficiencies directly
• Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing a full project load with minimal oversight
Preferred
• Experience in manufactured housing, RV park development, or land-lease community operations
• Familiarity with utility infrastructure: water/sewer, electrical, septic systems
• Comfortable with seasonal assignments and on-site living arrangements if required

What Success Looks Like

• Projects delivered on time and on or under budget — consistently
• A functioning multi-quote process in place across all markets with a growing contractor bench
• Leadership has clear, real-time visibility into project status and spend without having to ask for it
• A track record of saying no to low-value spend and finding ways to provide high value to customers

If you're a PM who treats every project dollar like it's your own, knows how to drive value out of a competitive bid
process, and thrives in a lean, field-forward environment — we want to talk.
