Job Description

Payrate: $35.00 - $38.00/hr.

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
