Job Description
Description:
Position Summary:
Forgent Power Solutions is a leading manufacturer of dry-type and liquid-filled transformers serving commercial, industrial, and utility markets. We are seeking a Director of Project Management to own the full order lifecycle — from order acknowledgment through final delivery — for a high-volume, custom manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for managing a team of 4–6 Project Managers and building the systems and processes that ensure on-time, accurate execution across every order.
Key Responsibilities:
Team Leadership
- Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team of 4–6 Project Managers across the full order execution cycle
- Set clear performance expectations, conduct regular 1:1s, and build a culture of ownership and urgency
- Serve as the escalation point for complex, high-stakes, or at-risk orders
Order Execution
- Own the end-to-end process from order acknowledgment through customer delivery
- Ensure submittal drawings are issued accurately and on schedule
- Manage the drawing revision process — tracking customer redlines, ensuring internal review, and confirming correct resubmission
- Drive proactive, professional customer communication at every stage: acknowledgment, submittals, revision cycles, production milestones, and shipping
Manufacturing Coordination
- Partner closely with production planning and shop floor leadership to align order schedules with manufacturing capacity
- Identify and resolve scheduling conflicts before they impact commit dates
- Maintain real-time visibility into order status and proactively surface risks to commercial and operations leadership
Systems & Process
- Build and enforce standardized PM workflows, SOPs, and tools that scale with order volume
- Identify gaps in current processes and lead improvement initiatives with measurable outcomes
- Ensure data integrity across ERP and project tracking systems
Qualifications:
Required
- 8+ years of experience in project management within industrial or manufacturing environments
- 3+ years managing a team of project managers or equivalent roles
- Demonstrated ability to build or significantly improve PM processes and systems in a production environment
- Strong communication skills — comfortable owning customer relationships at a professional level
- Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, production, and sales teams
- Proficiency with ERP systems and project tracking tools
Preferred
- Experience in transformer, switchgear, electrical equipment, or related engineered-to-order manufacturing
- Familiarity with submittal drawing workflows and engineering documentation processes
- Experience in a made-to-order or configure-to-order manufacturing environment
Work Environment:
Periodic travel to manufacturing and operations facilities in California and Tijuana, Mexico
