If you're highly organized, technically curious, enjoy solving problems, and want to grow your career in project management, we'd like to hear from you.

  • Develop, maintain, and track project schedules, milestones, deliverables, and budgets.
  • Coordinate activities across mechanical engineering, electrical/controls engineering, fabrication, assembly, purchasing, vendors, and field teams.
  • Monitor project progress and proactively identify schedule conflicts, material delays, scope changes, and other potential risks.
  • Participate in project kickoff meetings, internal reviews, customer meetings, and project status updates.
  • Keep project documentation organized, including schedules, meeting notes, action items, change orders, and other project records.
  • Assist with purchasing and procurement while following up with vendors on materials, components, lead times, and deliveries.
  • Communicate project updates, priorities, and outstanding action items to internal teams, customers, and vendors.
  • Support project cost tracking, including labor hours, materials, and overall budget performance.
  • Help coordinate equipment installation, startup, commissioning, and field-service activities when needed.
  • Assist with customer-requested changes and ensure changes in scope are properly documented and communicated.
  • Help ensure projects meet customer specifications, quality requirements, schedules, and company standards.
  • Contribute ideas and improvements that make project execution, communication, scheduling, and workflow more effective.

What We're Looking For

  • An associate or bachelor's degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Construction Management, Project Management, Business, or a related field is preferred.
  • 2+ years of experience in project coordination, project management, engineering, manufacturing, industrial automation, custom machinery, or a related environment is preferred.
  • Experience working with cross-functional engineering, manufacturing, or technical teams.
  • An understanding of project schedules, budgets, purchasing, documentation, and change management.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • The ability to communicate effectively with engineers, technicians, vendors, customers, and management.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Outlook, and Word.
  • The ability to read and understand technical drawings, specifications, or engineering documentation is preferred.
