Join the power movement as an Equipment Engineering Project Manager

We are seeking an exceptional and results-driven Senior Engineering Project Manager to join our Equipment Engineering team. This position is fully dedicated to our engineering team, helping us manage progress through critical projects and establishing known routines for kicking off new initiatives. You will operate as the primary owner of several critical team projects, ensuring schedule adherence, cross functional collaboration, and sound requirements are defined.

Our team is responsible for sustaining critical product lines, commissioning new ones, designing complex tooling, and driving down a high-priority engineering backlog. Currently, our technical engineering leaders are absorbing heavy administrative project management tasks. As our dedicated EPM, you will absorb this scope, allowing leadership to focus on technical execution and resource allocation. Your work will establish the foundational tracking architecture necessary for us to scale into massive, multi-year factory build outs, next-generation strategic infrastructure projects, and resource mapping.

What you'll do:

• Lead projects by defining the work scope, establishing a comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure, and creating logic-tied schedules and cost estimates
• Develop, drive the execution of, and report on the status of project plans, which includes managing key milestones, budgets, staffing plans, and BOMs
• Evaluate new project requests by gathering relevant information to analyze defined project problems. Work with team managers to anticipate project technical, operational, and people challenges to define a proper resolution
• Guide your project group in mitigating near and medium-term risks, and actively anticipate common risks that could impact project budgets and timelines
• Regularly communicate project plans, issues, risks, and planned solutions to project command chain leaders and stakeholders through both verbal and written updates
