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
