Project Manager - Pump Repair

Flowserve is seeking a high‑stamina, battle‑tested On‑Site Project Manager to anchor aftermarket fulfillment operations at our high‑stakes Quick Response Repair Center (QRC) in Rancho Dominguez, CA. Unlike remote administrative execution roles, this position demands a rigorous, physical daily presence right on the shop floor where heavy industrial pump teardowns, hydraulic rerates, and overhauls take place. QRC operations are fast‑paced, high‑stress, and entirely unpredictable.

When a critical chemical, power, or oil and gas facility suffers an emergency plant outage, their high‑variance assets land directly on your shop floor. We need a resilient, process‑oriented project leader who can manage customer anxiety, withstand intense operating rigors, collaborate directly with the facility GM, and drive structured technical turnaround cycles when holiday or weekend emergencies strike.

• On‑Site Project Operations: Drive the end‑to‑end execution lifecycle for complex rotating equipment overhauls, mechanical upgrades, and emergency physical pump repairs right on the active shop floor.
• Structured Stage‑Gate Governance: Lead formal project kickoff meetings and phase gate review meetings to coalesce customer strategies into structured actions, ensuring standardization and best practices.
• Critical Path Management: Assist cross‑functional teams to develop the scope of supply, translate work breakdown structures (WBS) into activity‑based shop schedules, and aggressively manage the critical path.
• Cross‑Functional Project Reviews: Lead regular project review meetings, collaborating across shop mechanics, engineering, procurement, and sales to deliver complex orders on time, on budget, and to strict quality standards.
• High‑Exposure Matrix Liaison: Partner closely with the facility General Manager and serve as a central communication pivot point across regional sales reps, shop teams, internal parts manufacturing centers, and emergency plant buyers.
• Contractual & Financial Rigor: Conduct thorough contract documentation reviews to ensure execution matches negotiated terms, while tracking project budgets, contract changes, on‑time invoice submissions, and cash collections.
• Risk & Contingency Forecasting: Gather and integrate live shop data to communicate regular status reports and accurate forecasts to stakeholders, proactively deploying contingency plans for key milestones.
• Information & Submittal Controls: Flawlessly manage and track customer document submittals, approvals, and final documentation packages utilizing current, retrievable tracking systems.

• Heavy Aftermarket
  
  Experience:
