Key responsibilities include:
- Translate manufacturing and program requirements into clearly scoped Statements of Work (SOWs), defining deliverables, responsibilities, timelines, and acceptance criteria for capital, facility, and production line projects.
- Build, maintain, and actively drive project schedules—identifying critical path activities, tracking milestones, flagging risks, and ensuring on-time delivery across concurrent manufacturing buildout projects including automated production lines, test stands, energetic operations facility upgrades, and capability expansion efforts.
- Coordinate and oversee the installation and commissioning of manufacturing equipment, automation systems, robotic work cells, and controls infrastructure—serving as the on-site technical point of contact during construction and equipment installation phases.
- Track and manage equipment procurement, delivery, and installation status, maintaining accurate logs and communicating proactively with project teams, engineering stakeholders, and leadership.
- Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, field crews, and internal engineering teams to ensure scope, schedule, and quality requirements are understood and met; attend site walks, owner meetings, and coordination calls.
- Maintain complete project documentation including SOWs, submittals, RFIs, meeting minutes, change orders, progress reports, and equipment commissioning records.
- Support procurement and contract administration processes, reviewing bids and scopes against program and manufacturing requirements.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure manufacturing infrastructure projects meet operational and regulatory requirements, including OSHA, ITAR, and hazardous environment standards.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline with 3+ years of manufacturing or industrial project engineering experience (or 7+ years without degree). Demonstrated experience translating technical/operational requirements into SOWs or building plans. Proven ability to build and manage project schedules, track deliverables, and drive accountability across subcontractors and vendors on concurrent projects. Working knowledge of manufacturing systems, automation equipment, and controls infrastructure.
