You’ll know you’re making an impact when:\nCapital and technical projects are delivered safely, on schedule, and within established scope and budget\nNew and modified equipment is successfully installed, commissioned, and qualified\nEquipment and processes transition smoothly from project execution into production\nProjects improve manufacturing capacity, reliability, throughput, or process performance\nProject risks are identified early and addressed before they become major obstacles\nContractors and vendors are effectively managed for safety, quality, cost, and schedule\nOperations, Engineering, Maintenance, and Quality stay aligned throughout project execution\nManufacturing bottlenecks are identified and addressed\nProcess improvements increase throughput and yield while reducing waste\nCapital investments deliver the operational capabilities they were intended to create\nAdditional Tools in Your Toolbox May Include\nExperience with industrial engineering systems and advanced manufacturing technologies can help you make an immediate impact.\nAdditional experience that can help you succeed includes:\nSolidWorks\nAutoCAD\nMicrosoft Project\nPLC-controlled manufacturing equipment\nAPQP and equipment qualification\nCapital equipment specification and procurement\nEquipment installation and commissioning\nFacility infrastructure projects\nHeat transfer and thermal processing\nMetallurgy and materials processing\nLean Manufacturing\nSix Sigma\nRoot-cause analysis and structured problem solving\nContractor and construction management\nManufacturing capacity and process-flow analysis\nThis Is Hands-On Project Leadership\nThis isn’t a project management role where success is measured by maintaining a schedule from behind a desk.\nYou’ll work where engineering and manufacturing meet. That may mean coordinating an equipment installation, reviewing a layout with Operations, working through a technical issue with a vendor, managing contractors on site, or troubleshooting a problem during commissioning.\nYou should be comfortable moving between detailed project planning and what is actually happening on the manufacturing floor.\nThe goal is not simply to complete projects. It’s to deliver equipment, infrastructure, and processes that work-and that make the Coldwater operation stronger.\nBuild Products That Perform Where It Matters\nElmet Technologies is a division of The Elmet Group and a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of precision-engineered products serving global industries including aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and energy.\nThrough advanced materials processing and precision manufacturing capabilities, we produce high-performance components for some of the world’s most demanding applications.\nOur Coldwater, Michigan operation combines specialized manufacturing processes, technical expertise, and skilled people to produce materials and components our customers depend on.
