  • Coordinate with Engineering, Document Control, and Expediting to keep projects on track
  • Review and manage contract terms and conditions, escalating concerns as needed
  • Identify and process change orders and follow-on work, protecting margin and capturing incremental value
  • Support the sales team on project bid packages and provide technical/commercial input during the quoting process
  • Ensure supplier accountability and on-time, on-spec delivery

  • Escalate customer or execution issues promptly and drive them to resolution

  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines
  • Ability to work cross-functionally across engineering, document control, and expediting functions
  • Go getter attitude with a strong sense of ownership. Someone who takes initiative and drives issues to resolution rather than waiting to be told
  • Quick, practical problem solver who can think on their feet under project pressure and keep things moving

What Success Looks Like

  • Projects delivered on scope, on schedule, and on budget
  • Strong customer relationships and repeat/follow-on business
  • Change orders and scope changes identified and captured promptly
