Industrial Project Manager

TriStarr Talent has the pleasure of representing a well-established Texas manufacturer serving industrial, infrastructure, and commercial construction markets currently seeking a Senior Project Manager. This is a hands-on project leadership role for someone who understands the intersection of manufacturing and construction. You will manage four to five active projects at a time, typically ranging from $200k -$1 Million each, while coordinating engineering, production, vendors, transportation, field installation, and general contractors. The right candidate will bring strong job-costing discipline, technical construction knowledge, and the ability to keep multiple projects moving on schedule and at or under budget. Industrial manufacturing experience is required; precast or prestressed concrete experience is strongly preferred. What You'll Do Manage four to five concurrent projects from preconstruction and contract review through manufacturing, delivery, installation, and closeout. Partner with estimating and preconstruction teams to review bid documents, proposals, project assumptions, drawings, specifications, schedules, and contract requirements. Lead project kickoff meetings and ensure a smooth transition from preconstruction into engineering, production, and field execution. Develop and maintain detailed project schedules covering engineering, submittals, procurement, manufacturing, shipping, erection, and closeout. Own project financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, job costing, cost-to-complete projections, margin protection, and variance analysis. Compare estimated costs against actual performance and identify potential schedule or budget issues before they affect the project. Manage contracts and deliverables involving engineering firms, suppliers, transportation providers, erection contractors, and other project partners. Serve as the primary point of contact for general contractors, customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders. Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, documentation, and contract compliance. Coordinate labor, materials, equipment, engineering, production capacity, and field resources based on project priorities. Monitor project progress and recommend adjustments to improve schedule, cost, quality, and operational performance. Provide clear and consistent updates regarding project status, risks, financial performance, and required decisions. Provide leadership, guidance, and support to Project Managers and project team members. Help improve project-management processes, reporting standards, technology use, and coordination across departments. What We're Looking For At least 10 years of combined project-management experience within construction and industrial manufacturing. Minimum of four years working at the Project Manager or Senior Project Manager level, including experience leading or mentoring other Project Managers. Industrial manufacturing experience is required. Precast concrete, prestressed concrete, structural concrete, steel fabrication, engineered building products, or a similar made-to-order manufacturing background is strongly preferred. Strong experience working directly with general contractors on commercial, industrial, or infrastructure projects. Demonstrated expertise in job costing, forecasting, cost containment, budget recasting, change management, and margin protection. Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications, contracts, schedules, and technical documentation. Experience managing several projects simultaneously without losing control of details, deadlines, or customer communication. Strong leadership, organization, negotiation, problem-solving, and stakeholder-management skills. Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, business, or a related field preferred; equivalent industry experience will be considered. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. Experience with Sage, Bluebeam, Textura, Buildertrend, or comparable construction and manufacturing project-management systems. Spanish-English bilingual communication skills are preferred due to regular interaction with field and production teams. #J-18808-Ljbffr
