If you manage sign projects well but want to do it remotely, United Signs has remote sign project manager opportunities for experienced people. In this post, we explain what remote coordination looks like across a sign project and what we expect from the people who do it.
To qualify, remote opportunities are available for project managers with at least 3 years of actual project management experience in the sign industry.
What a remote sign project manager does
A remote sign project manager still owns the project from kickoff through close-out. The work happens away from a shared office, but the responsibility still does not change. You coordinate customers, vendors, schedules, budgets, and project completion.
As a result, communication and accountability carry more weight, because you are not in the same room as the team.
How a remote sign project manager coordinates each stage
Surveys
Site surveys tell you what the sign has to fit and where it will go. A remote PM coordinates the survey, reviews the photos and measurements, and flags anything that could affect the design. For example, a missed measurement or an unnoticed site condition can cause rework later.
Drawings
You review drawings for accuracy, track revisions, and make sure the customer approves the right version. Clear notes and documented approvals keep everyone working from the same file.
Vendors
You coordinate with fabrication and vendor teams on timelines, specifications, and production readiness. Regular check-ins help you catch delays early.
Installation
You line up installation schedules, site access, and crew details. As a result, the installers arrive with what they need, and the customer knows what to expect.
Close-out
You confirm the work is complete, handle final details, and close the project properly. Finishing well is part of the job, not an afterthought.
Communication for a remote sign project manager
When you work remotely, people cannot see what you are doing. In other words, they only know what you tell them. Strong remote PMs tend to:
- Send updates before anyone has to ask
- Put decisions and approvals in writing
- Respond promptly to customers and vendors
- Raise problems early, with a proposed next step
- Keep schedules current
Accountability without a shared office
Remote work depends on dependable follow-through. That means:
- You know where every project stands
- You track costs and changes as they happen
- You do what you said you would do, on time
- You speak up when something slips
So if you already work this way, remote project management at United Signs may suit you.
Customers are optional
Candidates with their own customers are welcome. Candidates without their own customers are also encouraged to apply. The requirement is 3 years of actual sign project management experience. However, general sales experience alone does not meet it.
About the earning opportunity
The opportunity is up to a 50% payout of net project profit under agreed compensation terms.
- “Up to” means the percentage is not the same for every project or person
- We calculate it on net project profit, not on revenue
- It is not guaranteed
- A written agreement covers the definition of net profit, eligible work and payout timing
Also, we do not promise customer leads or a set workload.
What to include when you apply
Send us:
- Your resume
- A brief project summary
- Your years of sign project management experience
- The types of projects you have managed
- Whether you bring your own customer relationships
A few sentences about one or two projects is plenty. Also, please share only nonconfidential details.
