- City Council briefings, Council committee meetings, and individual prep sessions with Councilors and City Administrators.
- Ensure projects fulfill requirements of coordination with City’s design commission, landmarks, planning commission, PBOT modal committees and interest groups.
- Perform and coordinate equitable public involvement strategies and activities, as well as manage stakeholder relationships, associated with City projects.
These positions do not design and build projects directly and they do not require an engineer’s license. However, a general knowledge of infrastructure design, engineering principles, and construction and project delivery are preferred.
Who you are:
- Project Coordinator: You have strong knowledge and experience with project development, scheduling, communications, and budgeting.
- Excellent Communicator: You are a strong communicator to technical and non-technical individuals and who is proficient verbally and in writing.
- Organized: You can work on a multitude of tasks and understand/react to various situations in a fast-paced work environment.
- Problem Solver: You can identify problems early and utilize active listening & effective communication to find resolutions.
- Project Manager: You have knowledge of project management principles and can support, lead, and review various projects at various stages including environmental planning (NEPA), design, and construction. These projects may vary greatly in scope.
- Results Driven: This position is high pace, dynamic, and requires a candidate who can hit the group running with a focus on finishing tasks in a timely, accurate, and professional manner.
- Equity Focused: So much of what we do within the City involves pausing and looking at each project through an equity lens. Your lived and/or project experience with ensuring processes and project outcomes are equitable is important.

Search Operations Project Manager Jobs in OregonOperations Project Manager Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies in Oregon sponsor visas for operations project managers?
Intel, Nike, and Daimler Trucks North America are among Oregon's most active visa sponsors for operations and project management roles. Oregon Health and Science University and PeaceHealth also sponsor for operations positions in healthcare systems. Portland-area tech firms and semiconductor manufacturers have consistent H-1B filing histories with the Department of Labor, which you can verify through publicly available LCA disclosure data.
Which visa types are most common for operations project manager roles in Oregon?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for operations project managers in Oregon, particularly at tech and manufacturing employers. Canadian and Mexican nationals may qualify for TN status under the USMCA if their role aligns with the management consultant or engineer categories. Australian citizens can explore the E-3 visa. Some roles at multinational firms like Nike or Intel may also qualify for L-1 visa intracompany transfers.
Which cities in Oregon have the most operations project manager sponsorship jobs?
Portland and the broader metro area, including Beaverton and Hillsboro, account for the majority of operations project manager sponsorship activity in Oregon. Hillsboro is particularly concentrated due to Intel's large manufacturing campus. Eugene has some presence through logistics and university-affiliated employers, but the Portland metro remains the primary hub for sponsored roles in this field.
How to find operations project manager visa sponsorship jobs in Oregon?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you can search operations project manager roles in Oregon without sorting through positions that don't support international candidates. The platform covers employers across Portland, Beaverton, and Hillsboro, which are the core hiring markets for this role in Oregon. Filtering by state and role type on Migrate Mate narrows results to employers actively open to sponsorship.
Are there any Oregon-specific considerations for operations project managers seeking visa sponsorship?
Oregon's prevailing wage requirements under H-1B rules are shaped by the Portland metropolitan labor market, which tends to set wage floors higher than rural Oregon benchmarks. Intel's Hillsboro campus is a significant pipeline employer and has historically sponsored a high volume of operations and engineering roles. Oregon State University and Portland State University also produce graduates who enter operations management, creating some competition for sponsored slots at established employers.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored operations project manager jobs in Oregon?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
