Project Manager

Project Manager / Detailer / Estimator – Steel Fabrication (Job Shop Environment) Kenosha, WI | $65K–$85K I’m partnering with a long-standing, highly respected steel fabrication company in the Midwest to identify a hands‑on Project Manager / Detailer / Estimator who thrives in a job‑shop environment and enjoys owning work from concept through production. This organization has been operating for over a century and has built a strong reputation delivering custom fabrication, plate work, and structural components to a loyal customer base. This role sits at the center of operations—bridging customer requirements with shop execution. What You’ll Own Manage 3–4 key customer relationships end-to-end Interpret drawings and create detailed fabrication packages Lead material takeoffs, BOM development, and quoting Act as the liaison between customers and the shop floor Track work through cutting, fabrication, and welding processes Partner closely with production and purchasing to keep projects moving What They’re Looking For Experience in a job shop or custom fabrication environment Strong detailing and drawing interpretation skills Hands‑on background with BOMs, takeoffs, and estimating Familiarity with structural steel (plate, beams, angles, etc.) CAD experience (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Advanced Steel, ProNest, or similar) Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while staying connected to the shop Why This Role Stands Out High‑impact position with direct visibility to ownership Opportunity to own customer relationships and projects end‑to‑end Blend of project management + estimating + shop interaction Work alongside a tenured industry expert (25+ years) for onboarding support Stable, 100+ year‑old company with strong repeat business Varied, custom work— not a repetitive production environment The Environment Tight‑knit, hands‑on team High accountability, strong collaboration between office and shop Values practical problem‑solvers who show up and deliver If you’re someone who understands fabrication at a practical level and enjoys being close to the work—not just behind a desk—this is a strong opportunity to step into a role with real ownership and visibility.
