We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.

As a Project Engineering Manager, you'll play a central role in building out new facilities, expanding capacity, maintaining critical operations, and optimizing the systems that power T1 Energy’s mission. In this role, you’ll lead general contractors and trade subcontractors through the installation of new equipment and infrastructure, while partnering closely with construction engineering, design, facilities, commissioning, and operations teams as each site moves from construction into active production.

Working from both the field and the office, you’ll own schedules, budgets, and day-to-day coordination to ensure projects come online safely, efficiently and on time.

• Take full ownership of assigned projects, driving long-term performance, reliability, and cost efficiency across T1 Energy facilities and operations.
• Maintain clear, consistent communication with internal partners, including Engineering, Facilities, Operations and Quality, to ensure alignment at every stage.
• Manage all project start up processes, including forecasting, budgeting, and job-cost setup for materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractor work.
• Review project plans, engineering and drawings, P&IDs, and system documentation to ensure all materials, components and installation requirements are accounted for.
• Deliver projects in accordance with T1 Energy’s standards, specifications, and procedures, ensuring safety, quality, and operational readiness throughout the entire lifecycle.

• Bachelor’s Degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Civil, or related field) or equivalent technical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in construction project management, facilities, engineering, industrial/plant engineering, or manufacturing build-out environments.
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera, AutoCAD, Bluebeam or similar).
• Proven experience managing contractors and subcontractors across multiple trades (MEP, structural, utilities, equipment installation, etc.).
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, P&IDs, one-lines, equipment specs, and technical documentation.
• Hands‑on experience with project scheduling, budgeting, forecasting, and cost controls.
• Ability to drive projects from design through construction, commissioning and handoff to operations.
• Solid knowledge of safety standards, permitting and regulatory compliance.
• Ability to thrive in non‑traditional timelines with speed‑to‑market mindset, balancing urgency with quality and safety.
• Excellent communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills; able to work efficiently with engineering, facilities, commissioning and operations teams.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to make decisions quickly in the field.

We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect. We also have a no‑jerks policy: we don’t tolerate big egos, bad behavior or “that’s not my job attitude”. Be sharp, be honest, be human. If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you’ll fit right in.
