Senior Project Manager

JOB SUMMARY:

Thermo Bond Solutions builds the physical infrastructure behind the next wave of high-density, AI-driven compute: engineered, precast, and deployed close to where the power and the workload live. As a Senior Project Manager, you will own the plan that moves new edge computed products and customer projects from concept to delivered units, with Engineering, Purchasing, Operations, and Business Development pulling toward the same date. Early on, this role runs a mix of short, high-priority projects across the business. As customer programs scale, this position is scaled into leading multi-site deployment programs.
