About LP Glass Technologies

We are creators, designers, consultants, fabricators, and installers of custom glass products. We provide custom glass products to the most discerning architects, designers, builders, and homeowners throughout Southeast, Southwest, and Central Florida.

While we endeavor to continually create unique glass solutions while meeting budgets and schedules, we refuse to do so at the expense of quality. We desire to offer excellence and create proud customers for life. We consider this to be vital in building true value.

At LP Glass Technologies, we are committed to intentionally shaping and maintaining a healthy culture in which our mission can be most successfully accomplished. While many characteristics are involved, there are four core characteristics (cornerstones) that are foundational: excellence, honesty, courage, and love.

Our passion for fabricating and installing quality glass offices, staircases, mirrors, walls, railings, floors, and other glass elements is unparalleled.

We hire on Head, Heart, and Briefcase. This means that we're not looking solely at what you've done in the past and basing a decision on your last job(s); we look to see who is naturally wired for the role, what your values are, and if you have any pre-existing and relevant skills.

In this role, you will be responsible for coordinating all facets of the installation process, where we turn the concept into reality.

The Role

Project Manager responsibilities and duties

Responsibility of the entire project lifecycle includes five key elements.

Initiating - We begin each new project by defining the main objectives of the project, its purpose, and its scope. We also identify key internal and external stakeholders, discuss shared expectations, and gain the required authorization necessary to move a project forward.

Planning - Once the project is approved, project manager work with key stakeholders to create an integrated project plan focused on attaining the outlined goals.

The plan established during this process helps project manager oversee the scope, cost, timelines, risk, quality issues, and communications. It is during this phase that the project manager will outline key deliverables and milestones and identify the tasks that must be completed to complete each.

It’s important to note that project “planning” doesn’t actually end until the project does. The project plan should be treated as a living document that constantly evolves and changes throughout the project.

Executing - During this phase, team members complete the work that has been identified in the project plan to reach the goals of the project. The project manager’s role is to assign this work and to ensure that tasks are completed as scheduled. The project manager will also typically: protect the team from distractions, facilitate issue resolution, and lead the team in working through project changes.

Monitoring and Controlling - Despite being the fourth phase, monitoring and controlling processes actually commence at the beginning of a project and continue throughout planning, execution, and closing. In this phase, a project manager’s work includes: monitoring the progress of a project, managing the project’s budget, ensuring that key milestones are reached, and comparing actual performance against planned/scheduled performance.

Of course, things rarely go exactly according to plan. Therefore, a project manager must be flexible enough to work within a project’s plan but readily adapt when necessary.

Closing - During this phase, project managers strive to ensure all activities necessary to achieve the final result are completed. During the close of a project, project managers will: work with the client to get formal sign-off that the project is complete, release any resources (budget or personnel) who are no longer needed for the project, review the work of third-party vendors or partners in order to close their contracts and pay their invoices, archive project files for future reference and use.

After the project has been completed, a post-implementation review is often used to identify key lessons learned. Understanding what went well, what could be done differently, and what to stop doing can help inform and improve project management practices moving forward.
