Position Summary

PSC Crane & Rigging is seeking a highly organized Project Manager to coordinate transportation and logistics for a multi-year project in Pennsylvania. This is a full-time position aligned with PSC’s Columbus Business Unit, with an initial project assignment in the Pittsburgh area that is currently expected to continue for approximately three to five years.

The selected candidate must be willing and able to maintain a regular on-site presence in Pennsylvania throughout the project assignment. Following completion of this project, future responsibilities and project placement will be based on PSC’s operational and business needs.

This position will manage delivery schedules, coordinate internal and external project partners, maintain accurate project documentation, and help ensure each phase of the transportation and logistics scope is completed safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

The successful candidate will be detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple deliveries and project workstreams simultaneously.

Transportation may be performed by PSC, partner carriers, or a combination of both. The Project Manager will coordinate the selected delivery model and remain accountable for the overall schedule, communication, documentation, project controls, and commercial performance. PSC’s operational and technical teams will provide support for permitting, routing, equipment selection, and other specialized transportation requirements.
