Engineering Project Manager

Description

Position Summary

The Engineering Project Manager is responsible for managing capital equipment projects from initial customer engagement and project definition through engineering, fabrication, assembly, testing, and final delivery. This position requires a strong mechanical engineering foundation, proven project management capabilities, and the ability to work directly with customers in a fabrication and manufacturing environment.

The ideal candidate combines technical mechanical aptitude with practical manufacturing experience, effective communication skills, and the ability to coordinate cross‑functional teams to deliver projects on time, within budget, and in accordance with customer specifications and quality expectations.

This is a customer‑facing role requiring regular interaction with customers, engineering personnel, fabrication teams, suppliers, and company leadership. The successful candidate must be comfortable translating customer requirements into actionable engineering and manufacturing plans while identifying technical challenges, managing project risks, and ensuring successful project execution.

• Manage multiple capital equipment projects simultaneously, from initial scope development through fabrication, assembly, testing, and shipment.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, milestones, resource plans, and deliverables.
• Monitor project progress, identify potential delays or cost overruns, and implement corrective actions.
• Coordinate engineering, procurement, fabrication, assembly, quality, and other departments to maintain project alignment.
• Manage project changes, scope revisions, customer requests, and associated cost or schedule impacts.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, status reports, action items, and customer communications.
• Lead project meetings and provide regular updates to internal stakeholders and customers.

• Serve as a primary point of contact for assigned customers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in customer meetings to define project requirements, technical expectations, schedules, and deliverables.
• Communicate complex technical information clearly to customers, internal teams, and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Manage customer expectations regarding project scope, design limitations, fabrication constraints, costs, and delivery commitments.
• Resolve project‑related concerns professionally while maintaining strong customer relationships.
• Identify opportunities for improvements, additional capabilities, and solutions that meet customer needs.

• Apply a strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles to evaluate equipment designs, fabrication methods, mechanical assemblies, and system functionality.
• Review engineering drawings, bills of materials, specifications, and equipment layouts for technical feasibility and manufacturability.
• Interpret customer requirements and translate them into practical engineering and fabrication deliverables.
• Work closely with design engineers and other technical personnel to resolve design issues and ensure project requirements are met.
• Identify potential mechanical, operational, safety, and manufacturing concerns before they affect project execution.
• Support design reviews, engineering changes, troubleshooting, and equipment performance evaluations.
• Ensure technical requirements are communicated effectively between engineering and shop‑floor personnel.

• Work directly with fabrication, welding, machining, assembly, and production personnel to coordinate project execution.
• Understand fabrication processes,…
