Hear from Nate
I knew the CPM role was the best way to challenge myself with something fresh and new and develop a new skillset.
"As a construction sales project manager (CPM), I cover a large territory and some of the largest, most complex projects in North Texas.
As a CPM, I’m tasked with helping communicate this message to our partners on jobsites and ensure we execute on all the details big and small. We are a large organization with a lot of moving parts, so having a CPM as the stakeholder who owns the project for Hilti is critical to pointing all our resources in the right direction at the right time."
