HITT encourages Project Managers to think and operate like business owners. We value individuals who take initiative, own results, understand project financials, build strong client relationships, and identify opportunities for continued growth.

This entrepreneurial approach is reflected in HITT’s compensation philosophy. Strong performance can result in significant bonus opportunities beyond base compensation, rewarding employees who demonstrate ownership, initiative, exceptional execution, and strong financial performance.
