Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our fast-paced custom automation and machine building firm.

You will manage automation projects incorporating robots, machine vision, and motion control systems to solve complex manufacturing challenges across multiple industries. We value transparency, quality, and speed in how projects are executed, and the Project Manager plays a central role in driving those outcomes.

Coordinate and process change orders and billing milestones

3. Cross-Functional Coordination

Coordinate mechanical, electrical, controls, and technicians
Align purchasing and fabrication with project schedule
Resolve resource conflicts and sequencing issues
Drive internal accountability to deadlines

4. Customer Communication

Serve as primary customer point of contact
Run regular project status meetings and issue logs
Communicate risks, delays, and corrective actions proactively
Manage expectations through FAT and installation

5. Technical Oversight (Non-Design)

Understand system architecture and key technical risks
Ensure designs meet customer specifications and applicable standards
Facilitate design reviews and approvals
Escalate technical blockers to engineering leadership
