Project Manager, Procurement ​/ Purchasing

Come join our team at DIS-TRAN Steel!

Our people – not our machinery - are our biggest assets. DIS-TRAN Steel’s leadership team lives by our company values, modeling our culture of respect and integrity each day.
We're a team that likes to have fun, but we also know how to get stuff done.

Great project management is about more than maintaining a schedule. It’s about seeing the entire project, anticipating what could get in the way, bringing the right people together and taking ownership for delivering on the commitment.

DIS-TRAN Steel is looking for a Project Manager to serve as a key point of connection between our customers and the teams responsible for delivering their projects.

In this role, you'll manage the technical, financial and scheduling aspects of assigned projects while coordinating across internal teams, engineering, vendors, consultants, subcontractors and customers. You'll keep people informed, solve problems as they arise and help ensure projects are delivered accurately, on schedule and within financial expectations.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complex work, building strong relationships and seeing a project through from beginning to end, this could be a great opportunity for you.

As a Project Manager, you'll have ownership of projects and responsibility for keeping the many pieces moving in the same direction.

You’ll serve as the primary point of contact for the customer while working across the organization to coordinate schedules, drawings, materials, changes, financial considerations and project requirements.

The role requires someone who can see both the details and the bigger picture—recognizing issues early, communicating clearly and taking action when a project needs to get back on track.

You’ll also have an opportunity to improve how we work by capturing lessons learned, identifying recurring challenges and recommending ways to improve productivity and quality on future projects.

In this role, you'll:

• Develop, maintain and actively manage project schedules from initiation through closeout.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers throughout assigned projects.
• Coordinate across Engineering and other departments to ensure drawings and submittal documents are accurate, complete and delivered on schedule.
• Partner with Purchasing and Expediting to ensure materials are processed correctly and scheduled for timely delivery.
• Coordinate and motivate internal and external project teams to keep work moving on schedule and on budget
  .
• Manage consultants, subcontractors, construction managers and project teams to ensure contract plans and specifications are followed.
• Monitor project performance and proactively identify schedule, resource, technical or financial risks.
• Develop and initiate corrective actions when project schedules or expectations are at risk.
• Manage customer changes, including change orders, project accelerations and delays, structural issues, shipping challenges and material concerns.
• Secure appropriate customer change orders when project requirements change.
• Support Billing to help ensure accurate and timely invoicing.
• Provide regular project status updates, including technical and financial performance.
• Escalate significant schedule changes, contract changes, resource constraints, estimating discrepancies and unfamiliar technical issues when appropriate.
• Lead assigned expansions, continuous-improvement initiatives, system integrations and other operational projects.
• Complete project closeout activities and capture lessons learned.
• Analyze project challenges and develop corrective-action plans that can improve future project performance.
• Identify and recommend opportunities…
