CORT Party Rental is hiring for an Event Project Manager! 

We’re hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead complex tenting and temporary-structure events from site survey to install and strike. This is a technical, operations-forward role supporting repeat annual events and high-production builds—plus the opportunity to grow scope through smart upsells and competitive wins. You’ll be the technical authority in meetings, confident in your recommendations, and able to balance what the customer wants with what’s safe, buildable, and best for the CORT team and business. 

This is a hybrid role; you will spend 50% of your time working in the office and 50% meeting with clients at jobsites. 

Pay: $110k-$140k/year depending on experience (salary plus commission) 

Schedule: Peak season can include heavier hours, travel, and some early mornings/evenings/weekends; the off-season typically allows planned time away to maintain sustainable work/life balance. On-call awareness is expected for urgent safety/schedule/customer escalations (not 24/7 on-site). 

Responsibilities:

• Lead client discovery meetings and detailed site surveys (access/egress, grade, ground conditions, utilities, equipment routes, venue rules). 
• Recommend solutions: tent type/size (frame/clearspan/structure), raised/leveled flooring, anchoring/ballast concepts, and guest flow/experience upgrades. 
• Produce or coordinate layouts/drawings (CAD/Vectorworks/AutoCAD or equivalent) and coordinate engineering when required. 
• Manage permitting/compliance documentation as required by venues/AHJ (egress, occupant load, flame certs, clearances, etc.). 
• Pre-plan with Operations/Warehouse leadership: labor, equipment, trucking/staging, sequencing, and production timelines. 
• Coordinate on-site with venues and vendors (AV, staging, flooring, HVAC/temp power, fencing/barricades, utilities). 
• Provide on-site leadership during installs/strikes—sequencing, safety, quality, and real-time problem solving (no direct reports, but leads crews on site).
• Coordinate security badging/clearances when required for restricted-access sites. 
• Other duties as assigned.
