Fabrication Project Manager

• Be the customer’s main point of contact after the PO is awarded. Communicate progress, issues, change orders, and delivery timing clearly and professionally. Send regular updates with project photos.
• Maintain the project-level schedule — customer milestones, drawing release dates, fabrication start, target ship dates — and update it weekly.
• Track every job in flight — multiple tanks at different stages at any given time — through PRE FAB → FIT → TESTING → FINISHING, so you always know where each tank stands.
• Lead internal project meetings — clear agenda, decisions made, action items with named owners and due dates, follow-up communication issued same day. Time spent in these meetings should be highly productive and efficient; thus, you will be thoroughly prepared with focused topics in a logical order on the agenda.
• Lead recurring customer project reviews. Know what each customer cares about, come prepared, and walk them through progress, milestones, and changes with clarity and confidence.
• Defend the customer-promised ship date. Coordinate with production, engineering, and QC to keep things on track. When issues come up, work them with the people who can fix them — and bring problems to leadership already on a path to resolution.
• Stay on top of every input that affects a tank’s timeline — materials, drawings, QC schedules, vendor deliveries/services. You don’t run engineering, production, or procurement, but you do see the whole picture across departments; when something could move a ship date, you take it directly to the people who can address it.
• Coordinate change orders— work with Sales and Operations to determine and communicate the impact of changes on cost and schedule to the customer.
• Surface risks early — to the team internally and to customers when needed; don’t let a missed milestone be a surprise to anyone.
• Coordinate trucking and shipping logistics as projects approach completion.
• Keep accurate, organized records — trackers, customer correspondence, milestone dates, change orders — that match reality and support clear status reporting.

• 3+ years managing multiple concurrent projects in custom fabrication, industrial manufacturing, job-shop production, construction, or a similar environment (adjacent experience welcome — production coordinators, schedulers, expediters, and construction PMs who can demonstrate the skills should apply)
• Degree in mechanical engineering, mathematics, or similar area of study, or 7+ years practical experience. 
• Comfortable working in and around a shop environment (you’ll walk the floor regularly)
• Operates independently and brings problems to leadership already on a path to resolution
• Able to run focused, productive meetings — clear agenda, decisions made, time respected
• Comfortable holding peers accountable across departments — you push for what the project needs without burning bridges
• Customer-facing presence — comes prepared, answers questions on the spot, and represents Savannah Tank well in front of customers
• Ability to read and discuss fabrication drawings, customer specifications, and technical documents
• Disciplined and reliable project record keeping that reflects real life and the team can trust.
• Working knowledge of MS365 (Excel, Outlook, Word, SharePoint, Teams)
• Able to navigate ERP systems e.g., JobBOSS

• 8+ years of relevant project management experience
• Experience with ASME pressure vessels, API 650 tanks, or AWS structural welding code work
• Experience with custom/one-off fabrication versus high-volume production
• Background in chemical processing, energy, water treatment, or similar end markets

• Real ownership. Customers know you by name. Your job is project execution from PO to delivery — not status reporting up the chain.
• Tool flexibility. You’ll have Microsoft Office and our ERP (JobBOSS) on day one. Beyond that, we’re open to discussing tools that help you do the job well — we care more about the result than the brand on the software.
• A shop that does serious work. ASME-certified pressure vessels, API tanks, heat exchangers, and modular systems for demanding industries. Carbon steel, stainless, duplex, Monel, Inconel, Alloy 20. Real engineering complexity and craftsmanship.

• Salary: $70,000–$85,000, depending on experience
• Health insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Vacation, sick, and holiday pay
