Are you a project manager with a technical edge who thrives on keeping complex fabrication and automation projects on track from order to shipment? We're looking for someone who's just as comfortable reviewing a bill of materials as they are leading a customer status call.
In this role, you'll own multiple projects end-to-end — coordinating engineering, procurement, and production teams, managing schedules and budgets, and serving as the go-to point of contact for customers. You'll get hands‑on exposure to industrial control systems and play a key role in a growing organization that builds custom‑engineered fabrication and automation solutions for the utility, power, and oil & gas industries.
WhatYou'll Do
Project Management
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, from order entry through shipment
- Build and maintain project schedules
- Track engineering, procurement, fabrication, testing, and delivery
- Monitor budgets, labor hours, and material costs
- Manage change orders and scope changes
- Get ahead of schedule or procurement issues before they impact delivery
- Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned customers
- Review project requirements and specifications
- Provide status updates and delivery schedules
- Coordinate customer inspections and Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs)
- Build lasting customer relationships
- Request quotes and lead times from manufacturers and distributors
- Compare pricing and identify alternative solutions when needed
- Purchase electrical and automation components
- Monitor long-lead items and supplier performance
- Build strong relationships with key vendors and distributor reps
- Partner with engineering and shop teams to maintain schedules
- Review BOMs for completeness
- Help resolve component availability issues
- Coordinate project priorities with production supervisors
- Support continuous improvement efforts on the shop floor
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field
- 1–3 years of experience in utilities, manufacturing, or a similar industry
- Basic knowledge of construction and industry standards
- Working knowledge of PLCs, remote I/O, HMIs, industrial networking, control panel construction, and UL 508A requirements
- Familiarity with major automation manufacturers (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Emerson, Phoenix Contact, ABB, Eaton, Siemens, Schneider Electric) a plus
- Exposure to power distribution equipment (PDCs, UL 891 switchboards, panel boards, MCCs, transformers, transfer switches, circuit breakers) a bonus
- PMP certification and natural gas industry experience are a plus
