Senior Equipment Engineering Project Manager

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.
