Role Summary

The Technical Project Manager will lead the execution of multiple industrialization and manufacturing readiness projects within a highly matrixed organization. This role is critical in bridging machine installation through full operational readiness, coordinating schedules, resources, and interdependencies across technical and support teams.

The role requires a hands‐on, technically grounded project manager with strong schedule integration capability and advanced Smartsheet proficiency, capable of influencing across functions without direct authority.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Execution & Schedule Integration

Lead multiple concurrent industrialization projects, including line modifications for capacity increases and new line installations for expanded capabilities

Integrate multiple complex schedules (e.g., machine installation, tooling, programming, qualification) into a single master project plan

Identify and actively manage critical‐path interdependencies across teams and workstreams

Smartsheet Architecture & Reporting

Build and maintain Smartsheet project architectures from scratch, including templates, automated workflows, and dashboards

Provide real‐time visibility to schedule health, constraints, and risks for leadership and stakeholders

Serve as the Smartsheet “power user” for complex, multi‐line industrialization programs

Industrialization & Operational Readiness

Lead scheduling and coordination for machine start‐up, process development, programming, tooling, fixtures, and part qualification

Ensure alignment between engineering deliverables and manufacturing readiness

Drive disciplined handoff from project execution to production ownership

Cross‐Functional Coordination (Matrixed Environment)

Act as the central execution “hub” across CAPEX, CAD/CAM, Deployment, Development, Quality, and Fixture / Part Movement teams

Coordinate daily across technical and support organizations with shared resources

Resolve priority and resource conflicts through influence and data‐driven tradeoffs

Resource, Risk & Procurement Management

Identify resource bottlenecks and negotiate solutions to protect project milestones

Track procurement timing and delivery of tooling, fixtures, and other critical purchased items

Proactively adjust schedules based on supplier push/pull to minimize impact to start‐up dates

Communication & Governance

Facilitate regular project status and execution reviews

Provide clear, actionable updates to technical experts, manufacturing leaders, and stakeholders who will ultimately own the processes

Drive structured issue resolution and escalation as needed

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical field (general technical degree acceptable)

Minimum 5–10 years of project management experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment

Demonstrated experience managing multiple complex projects simultaneously

Desired Characteristics

PMP certification strongly preferred

Strong influential leadership skills in a matrixed organization

Ability to manage complex interdependencies without direct budget or people authority

Comfortable operating in a fast‐paced shop‐floor environment

Highly organized, execution‐focused, and data‐driven

Strong understanding of manufacturing processes; experience in Aerospace or Power Generation preferred.
