The Role: The Engine of Project Success
As a Level III Project Manager, you will handle our most complex, large-scale accounts. You are the driving force for your projects, managing the delicate balance between engineering specifications, manufacturing timelines, and customer requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
- End-to-End Ownership: Lead projects from the initial hand-off from Sales through design, fabrication, testing (FAT), and final installation at the customer site.
- Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for global customers, providing clear updates and managing expectations throughout the build cycle.
- Financial Stewardship: Manage project budgets, track costs, and ensure profitability while identifying and mitigating risks early.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Drive collaboration between Mechanical Engineering, Automation, and the Fabrication shop to maintain a "pace-setting" schedule.
- Complex Logistics: Coordinate the shipping and installation of massive systems that often require specialized transport and 3-6 semi-trucks per delivery.
What You Bring to the Team
- Experience: 7-10+ years of project management experience in an industrial manufacturing or capital equipment environment.
- Education: BS in Engineering, Business, or a related technical field.
- Technical Savvy: While you aren't the lead designer, you must be comfortable reading CAD drawings and understanding the mechanics of motors, heat transfer, and stainless-steel fabrication.
- Certifications: PMP (Project Management Professional) certification is a plus.
- Communication: Exceptional negotiation and presentation skills. You can hold your own in a boardroom and on the factory floor.
- Adaptability: Flexibility is a core Blentech value. You thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift at a moment's notice.
