  • Partner with Manufacturing and Supply Chain to align production schedules and material availability.
  • Support Sales with technical clarification, scope alignment, and customer expectations during and after order entry.
  • Coordinate with Quality and Compliance teams to ensure adherence to UL, CSA, and applicable standards.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Project Management, Business, or a related technical field.
  • 3–7+ years of project management experience in industrial manufacturing, electrical equipment, or engineered-to-order environments.
  • Experience supporting MOEM or OEM customers with customized products or systems.
  • Strong understanding of project lifecycles, scheduling, and cross-functional execution.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage customer relationships and internal stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with ERP systems and project management tools.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with motor controls, drives, MCCs, soft starters, or power distribution equipment.
  • PMP or other project management certification.
