Innovar Group is supporting a Technical Project Manager opportunity with a company that designs, quotes, builds, and delivers industrial equipment solutions. This role is ideal for a hands-on Project Manager who can own the full project lifecycle — from technical scoping and quoting through manufacturing, delivery, field installation, and commissioning.
This is not a traditional PMO-only role. The right person will be accountable for both the front-end proposal work and the execution of the project, including managing budgets, schedules, customer expectations, shop-floor activity, field installation, and project performance metrics. A strong technical background is required, including the ability to discuss engineering issues and translate customer requirements into executable project plans.
What You’ll Do
- Own projects from quotation through completion, including assembly, delivery, installation, and commissioning
- Work with sales and technical teams to scope customer requirements and develop accurate proposals
- Translate customer needs, site conditions, codes, and technical requirements into budgets, schedules, and resource plans
- Lead project execution across engineering, production, supply chain, and field teams
- Manage projects on the shop floor and support field installation activities, approximately 20–25% of the role
- Track project budgets against original proposal estimates and identify variances early
- Develop and manage KPIs to measure project performance, cost accuracy, schedule adherence, and execution quality
- Communicate project status, risks, issues, and corrective actions to customers and internal stakeholders
- Support commissioning, customer documentation, site readiness, and product acceptance
- Review completed projects to improve future estimating, quoting, and delivery accuracy
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a closely related technical field
- 5+ years of project management experience
- Project management certification required, such as PMP, CAPM, PgMP, or comparable certification
- Experience in manufacturing, industrial equipment, or power generation equipment
- Ability to lead both project quoting/scoping and full project execution
- Experience managing projects in a shop-floor or manufacturing environment
- Strong technical communication skills and ability to discuss engineering issues with customers and internal teams
- Ability to create, track, and manage project KPIs
- Comfortable working in the field at customer sites as needed
Preferred Experience
- Oil and gas industry experience
- Experience with field installation, commissioning, or startup of industrial, rotating, or power generation equipment
- Background in application engineering, technical proposals, project scoping, or estimating
- Experience in a smaller-company environment where Project Managers carry broad ownership
- Familiarity with ERP systems; SyteLine experience is a plus
- Ability to read and interpret bills of material, engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation
