The team is actively evolving — this consolidation under a unified PMO is intentional, and the incoming PM will be part of building something. Candidates who are energized by structure-in-progress, not put off by it, will thrive here.
Key Responsibilities
- Own full project lifecycle management for Sustaining Engineering initiatives — maintaining schedules, managing scope, tracking deliverables, and driving accountability across cross-functional teams
- Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans aligned with organizational priorities; assist with project charters outlining scope, goals, resources, budget, and timing
- Lead cross-functional core teams through project milestones, fostering collaboration and a clear sense of shared accountability
- Manage stakeholder communication at all levels, including preparing and presenting status readouts to directors and executive leadership
- Identify project risks early and develop proactive mitigation strategies to keep momentum intact
- Apply quality control measures to ensure projects meet standards, regulatory requirements, and scope expectations
- Conduct Lessons Learned reviews at key milestones and contribute to continuous improvement of PM practices and tools across the team
- Support the PMO's broader standardization efforts as the team builds and refines its processes
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, or a related technical discipline, and/or 5+ years of project management experience
- Demonstrated experience managing projects — direct PM leadership preferred, but strong project support roles will be considered for candidates who can articulate their contribution clearly
- Ability to create and manage project timelines, schedules, and plans using MS Project or equivalent tools
- Experience preparing and presenting leadership readouts — candidates should understand the difference between an executive-level status summary and a detailed core team update, and be comfortable delivering both
- Strong time management and sense of urgency — this team moves, and the ability to balance multiple workstreams without losing traction is non-negotiable
- Mechanical aptitude and comfort in a manufacturing environment; ability to read engineering drawings and BOMs
- Familiarity with MRP/ERP systems and proficiency in Microsoft Office suite
- Composure and adaptability when priorities shift or project conditions change
Preferred Qualifications
- PMP certification or equivalent project management credential
- Experience in a product development or engineering environment — familiarity with how products move from concept through commercialization is a strong asset
- Background in or exposure to continuous improvement, ePMO, or operational excellence functions — candidates who have supported cross-functional process projects bring transferable skills that map well to this role
- Demonstrated ability to quantify the business impact of project decisions — for example, connecting schedule delays to financial cost — to drive urgency and alignment across teams
- Track record of ramping quickly in new organizations or roles, especially across complex, multi-stakeholder environments
