Technical Senior Project Manager

Technical Senior Project Manager

Mativ is a global leader in specialty materials headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company offers a wide range of critical components and engineered solutions that connect, protect, and purify our world.

The Technical Senior Project Manager (the "Manager") develops, proposes, installs, and commissions equipment projects costing between $1 million and $30 million at Mativ's North American locations. The ideal candidate has a mechanical background and broad technical experience, serving as the 'chief engineer' for investment project deployment. Projects will range from simple equipment procurement and commissioning to complex integrations requiring extensive design and supplier integration.

Line/equipment relocations, as well as facility closures, are also in scope.

The Manager will be on-site at the target location as needed, but the Manager will be located remotely near one of the following airports:
Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, or Newark.
