Noveon Magnetics, established in 2016, is a sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnet manufacturer headquartered in San Marcos, Texas. We are the first company in more than two decades to produce and deliver sintered NdFeB magnets at commercial scale on American soil.

Our 100-acre campus provides room to scale production beyond 2,000 metric tons annually. Noveon conducts every step of the manufacturing process in Texas, including research and development, powder metallurgy, sintering, machining, plating, assembly, and delivery, making our EcoFlux magnets 100% Made in America. Noveon's EcoFlux magnets power the electric motors behind robotics, hybrid and electric vehicles, aerospace systems, industrial equipment, and energy infrastructure. These high-performance magnets play a critical role in the technologies that drive electrification and innovation around the world.

Our goal is to build the best magnets in the world and change how the world electrifies. We're looking for exceptional people who want to learn, build, and help lay the foundation for this company and for their own careers in the years ahead.

Position Summary

There is an excellent opportunity to drive operational execution and milestone delivery within our manufacturing facility. We are seeking a dedicated, execution-focused Manufacturing Project Manager to orchestrate the lifecycle of industrial installation, equipment fabrication, and commissioning projects. This role focuses strictly on professional project management ensuring timelines are met, budgets are tracked, and cross-functional teams are aligned to support capital deployment. Rather than acting as a technical designer or a lead manager for specific trades, the project manager serves as the strategic conductor of the project. This individual will manage schedules, track resources, and remove roadblocks while collaborating closely with experienced, independent leads across mechanical, electrical, piping, and fabrication
domains.

Key Responsibilities

Core Project Management & Milestone Execution

Schedule & Track Progress: Utilize project management tools to develop, monitor, and update baseline schedules, ensuring project milestones stay on the critical path.
Cross-Functional Orchestration: Facilitate daily or weekly alignment meetings with independent mechanical, electrical, piping, and fabrication leads to synchronizing timelines, managing dependencies, and eliminating operational bottlenecks.
Risk Tracking & Reporting: Proactively identify project delays, resource constraints, or material shortages, escalating risks early and maintaining accurate progress reports for plant leadership.
Budget & Resource Stewardship: Monitor project expenditures (CapEx/OpEx) against the approved budget, managing cash flow timelines and tracking project cost variances.

Procurement & BOM Management

BOM Ownership: Take full ownership of tracking the project Bill of Materials (BOM), monitoring lead times and verifying procurement status to prevent field delays.
Sourcing & Logistics Coordination: Coordinate closely with procurement and vendors to ensure raw materials, structural steel, piping components, and industrial hardware arrive on site in alignment with the master schedule.

Material Inventory Control: Monitor material arrivals against packing lists, track quality compliance upon delivery, and ensure on-site staging supports the installation timeline.

Collaborative Interface with Discipline Leads

Mechanical & Fabrication Interface: Coordinate project timelines and delivery dates with the experienced Mechanical and Fabrication Leads, ensuring shop fabrication and equipment rigging align with the broader facility schedule.
Piping Integration: Interface with the Piping Lead to track installation progress, ensure material availability, and map out testing windows.
Electrical Integration: Coordinate utility requirements and timeline expectations with a Master Electrician and their specialized crew, relying on their technical expertise for execution and code compliance.

Drawing Interpretation, Software Literacy, & Commissioning Support

Blueprint & Design Literacy: Read and accurately interpret mechanical drawings, P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), fabrication blueprints, and basic schematics to understand project scope and track field progress.
Engineering Software Utilization: Leverage working knowledge of SolidWorks and AutoCAD to review design files, verify dimensions, extract details for BOM verification, and cross-reference field installations with engineering models.
Pre-Commissioning Support: Coordinate the schedule for site acceptance testing (SAT) and component-level checkout sequences, ensuring all independent leads have completed their scope prior to final equipment startup.

Required Qualifications

Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in project management, Business Operations, Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent hands-on industrial project coordination experience.
Professional Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience managing or coordinating projects within a manufacturing, fabrication, or industrial construction environment.
Project Management Focus: Proven track record of managing project schedules, tracking budgets, and coordinating Bill of Materials (BOM) procurement. PMP required.
Software Proficiency: Practical, hands-on knowledge of SolidWorks and AutoCAD for design review and file navigation, alongside standard project management and scheduling software (e.g., MS Project, Asana, or Smartsheet).
Stakeholder Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to work effectively with independent, highly experienced technical leads (Mechanical, Electrical, Piping, Fabrication) who do not have a direct reporting relationship to the project manager.
Blueprint Reading: Strong proficiency in reading and translating mechanical drawing

Physical Requirements

Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
Must be able to lift/move up to 15 pounds at times.
