Job Title: Project Manager - Non IT IV
Job Location: Columbus, IN
Job Duration: 6 months

Job Description:
  • The ideal candidate needs to be a self-starter with the ability to juggle multiple stakeholders. Knowledge of engines, how they work and how OEM ties into them is a must-have. There will be some travel domestically and to Canada. Exact locations will be shared with the chosen candidate.
  • The Field Test Coordinator role is a critical position responsible for executing and monitoring field validation activities for an existing project in process.
  • This role can be performed remotely but requires close collaboration with cross-functional and international stakeholders, including engineering, product and external partners.
  • The coordinator serves as the central point of contact for field test execution, ensuring alignment on objectives, timelines, risks, and deliverables across a global team.
  • A key responsibility of this role is managing complex equipment repower activities, including hands-on coordination of two critical repower events at designated locations.
  • The successful candidate must be willing and able to travel to these sites to support the installation, validation, and troubleshooting of engines within the equipment chassis, on a timeline that already exists.
  • Proven experience with repower activities is table stakes, including a strong understanding of how an engine integrates within a chassis and interacts with surrounding systems.
  • This practical, application-level knowledge is essential to ensure successful execution and issue resolution in real-world environments.
  • The Field Test Coordinator must be highly effective at balancing multiple stakeholders with competing priorities while maintaining clear, consistent communication.
  • This role requires a proactive, self-starting individual who can operate independently, anticipate challenges, and drive outcomes without constant direction.
  • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams are essential.
  • Equally important is the ability to hold teams and partners accountable to commitments, ensuring milestones are met and risks are escalated and mitigated in a timely manner.
  • Success in this role requires a combination of technical acumen, leadership presence, and disciplined execution.
  • The ideal candidate brings a collaborative mindset, thrives in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment, and demonstrates the ability to influence without authority across a globally distributed team.
  • Clear communication both written and verbal is critical to keep stakeholders aligned and informed, especially when navigating complex field conditions and resolving cross-functional challenges.

Top Skills the manager is looking for:
  • Ability to repower an existing vehicle
  • Project management experience
  • Project management coordination
  • Project management communication
