Job Description

Job Summary:
The Project Manager, Manufacturing is an internal-facing role within the Project Management group, responsible for planning, coordinating, and driving the execution of non-customer-facing production projects across business units and internal partners. Working in close partnership with Engineering, supply chain and Production, this role ensures project schedules are defined and maintained, materials are allocated effectively, and resource, demand, and capacity plans are aligned to meet build commitments. Representative projects include job shop work and inter-company sales orders.
Key Responsibilities:

Project Planning & Schedule Management:
  • Develop, maintain, and communicate detailed project schedules for internal production projects, including job shop orders and inter-company sales orders.
  • Define project scope, milestones, deliverables, and timelines in coordination with Engineering, supply chain and Production stakeholders.
  • Track progress against schedule, identify risks and bottlenecks early, and drive corrective actions to keep projects on track.
  • Maintain accurate project documentation, status reporting, and change control.

Material Allocation & Coordination:
  • Coordinate material requirements, allocation, and availability across concurrent internal projects.
  • Partner with Supply Chain, Purchasing, and Production to align material readiness with build schedules.
  • Identify and resolve material shortages, long-lead items, and allocation conflicts before they impact schedule.

Purchase Order & Invoice Management:
  • Provide financial management of project-related purchase orders, including issuance, status, and reconciliation against project scope and budget.
  • Review and track invoices associated with assigned projects, verifying accuracy and alignment with the corresponding purchase orders.
  • Coordinate with Purchasing and Finance to resolve purchase order and invoice discrepancies and maintain accurate project cost records.

Resource, Demand & Capacity Planning:
  • Partner with the Production Scheduler and Master Planner to apply demand and capacity plans to project timeline management; this role uses and informs these plans but does not own demand or capacity planning.
  • Reconcile project milestones against the labor, equipment, and capacity data maintained by Production Scheduling and Master Planning to confirm that committed timelines are achievable.
  • Surface capacity constraints, resource conflicts, and demand changes that affect project timelines, and coordinate resolution with the Production Scheduler and Master Planner.
  • Provide project demand inputs (?) to sales, operations, and production planning, and use the resulting plans to prioritize and sequence internal work.
Cross-Functional Coordination:
  • Serve as the primary internal point of contact between business units, Engineering, Production, and intra-company customer for assigned projects.
  • Facilitate project meetings, align stakeholders on priorities, and ensure clear communication of status, risks, and decisions.
  • Coordinate hand-offs between functional groups including intercompany engineering, when required to ensure smooth, on-time project execution.

Job Shop & Inter-Company Builds:
  • Manage execution of job shop projects and inter-company build orders from initiation through completion.
  • Coordinate requirements, schedules, and deliverables between internal entities and sites.
  • Ensure internal orders are prioritized, resourced, and delivered to agreed expectations.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement:
  • Provide regular project status, capacity, and risk reporting to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Identify and implement improvements to project planning, scheduling, and execution processes.
  • Support continuous improvement of project management practices within the Project Management group.
Qualifications:

Education:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered.
Experience:
  • Five or more years of project management, production planning, or manufacturing operations experience, preferably in a manufacturing or fabrication environment.
  • Demonstrated experience managing schedules, materials, and capacity across concurrent projects.
Skills & Competencies:
  • Strong working knowledge of project scheduling, materials management, and resource and capacity planning.
  • Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and project scheduling tools (e.g., Microsoft Project).
  • Excellent cross-functional communication, organization, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • PMP (Project Management Professional) certification.
  • APICS / ASCM CPIM or CSCP certification.
  • Lean and/or Six Sigma training or certification.
  • Experience in job shop and/or multi-site, inter-company manufacturing environments.
