Project Manager – Capital Projects

Major manufacturing investments only create value when they become safe, reliable, working capabilities. As a Project Manager at Elmet Technologies, you’ll lead the planning, design, procurement, and execution of major capital projects at our Coldwater operation. Your projects may include facility expansions, industrial furnace builds, automation systems, and environmental and air‑handling improvements.

You’ll coordinate multiple engineering disciplines, equipment vendors, contractors, and internal teams to take complex projects from initial concept through construction, installation, commissioning, and performance qualification.

This is a hands‑on technical project leadership role for someone who knows how to turn a major capital investment into an operating manufacturing system.
