About KPI Solutions
KPI Solutions is a national supply chain consulting and warehouse automation systems integrator, helping some of the biggest names in e-commerce, retail, and distribution move product faster and smarter. Formed in 2021 through the combination of Kuecker Logistics Group, PULSE Integration, and QC Software, KPI brings together decades of material handling and systems integration experience — rooted in material handling integration dating back to 1971. From initial design through go-live and ongoing support, KPI delivers engineered solutions that blend automated technologies (MHE, robotics, conveyor, ASRS, AMR/AGV) with intelligent warehouse execution software to optimize productivity, increase fulfillment speed, and build operational resilience for clients.
Position Summary
The Sr. Project Manager leads the delivery of complex warehouse automation and material handling equipment (MHE) implementation projects from initiation through go-live and closeout. This role owns the full project lifecycle for 2–4 concurrent client engagements — spanning design, procurement, robotics and automation integration, installation, commissioning, and transition to operations — while managing budget, schedule, vendor performance, and stakeholder relationships at every level, including executive sponsors. This is a highly visible role suited to a project leader who is equally comfortable in a technical design review, a vendor negotiation, and an executive steering committee meeting.
Key Responsibilities
Warehouse Automation & MHE Project Delivery
• Lead end-to-end delivery of 2–4 assigned client projects involving material handling equipment (MHE), robotics, and warehouse automation systems (e.g., AS/RS, AMR/AGV, conveyor, sortation, goods-to-person, WCS/WES/WMS software).
• Manage the complete project lifecycle — initiation, planning, execution, monitoring/controlling, and closure — for Design-Bid-Build and turnkey systems integration projects.
• Oversee robotics and automation integration and installation phases on-site, coordinating factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), commissioning, and go-live cutover with minimal disruption to client operations.
• Read, interpret, and apply automated system design drawings and layouts to track scope, sequence installation work, and resolve field-fit issues.
Budget Ownership & Financial Management
• Own project P&L: build and manage project budgets, track costs against forecast, and report financial performance and variances to internal leadership and client stakeholders.
• Manage change orders, scope changes, and commercial impacts, ensuring margin protection and accurate financial forecasting across the project lifecycle.
