An industrial equipment and service company is hiring a Manufacturing Project Manager for its heavy repair center, which rebuilds and remanufactures steel mill components for producers around the country.

What you'll do

• Scope incoming repair jobs and turn customer needs into production work orders
• Decide what gets bought versus refurbished, and coordinate purchasing with engineering and production

• Run kickoffs and coordinate machining and fabrication from drawings
• Write technical reports, keep clean job files, and travel 10–15% (domestic and international)

What you bring

• Manufacturing, trades or industrial shop background (a PM title isn't required)
• Ability to keep 20+ jobs moving at once without dropping any
• Clear, steady customer communication
• Mechanical aptitude: reading drawings and understanding machining and fabrication
• Excel and MS Project or similar, and comfort in boots and a hard hat every day

Nice to have: Mechanical engineering or related degree.

Benefits: medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, 401(k) with match, paid time off.
