You’ll work closely with:\nOperations\nEngineering\nMaintenance\nQuality\nEHS\nSite Leadership\nSuppliers\nContractors\nEquipment Vendors\nDepending on the project, you may also lead internal employees, contractors, vendors, and other project resources responsible for delivering specific portions of the work.\nThat means you’ll need to be as comfortable communicating with people as you are managing the technical details of a project.\nRequirements\nWhat You Need to Succeed\nWe’re looking for someone who combines technical knowledge with strong project execution.\nYou’ll need:\nA bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field\nExperience managing technical, engineering, manufacturing, or capital projects\nExperience taking projects through multiple phases-from concept and planning through implementation and startup\nExperience managing project schedules, budgets, resources, milestones, and deliverables\nStrong organization and prioritization skills\nThe ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities\nStrong problem-solving and decision-making skills\nThe ability to identify project risks, evaluate alternatives, and resolve technical or operational issues\nClear written and verbal communication\nThe ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and external partners\nA strong commitment to safety and project requirements\nAdditional Tools in Your Toolbox\nEven better if you have experience with:\nProject management in a manufacturing or industrial environment\nMajor capital equipment projects\nManufacturing process improvements\nFacility improvement or expansion projects\nProcess development projects\nEngineering firms\nEquipment suppliers\nConstruction contractors\nEquipment installation and commissioning\nProduction startup and operational handoff\nThose experiences closely align with the preferred background identified for the role.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nYou’ll know you’re succeeding when:\nProjects have clearly defined objectives, scope, schedules, budgets, and responsibilities\nPotential risks are identified early rather than becoming surprises later\nEngineering, Operations, vendors, and contractors know what’s expected of them\nProject decisions and outstanding actions are clearly communicated\nCapital equipment and facility projects progress safely and efficiently\nSchedule and budget issues are identified and addressed quickly\nEquipment installation and commissioning are well coordinated\nNew or modified equipment and processes successfully transition into Operations\nProject documentation is complete and useful\nThe people operating and maintaining what you’ve delivered are prepared for startup\nCompleted projects deliver the technical and operational results they were designed to achieve\nYour Workplace\nThis is an onsite role with work taking place in both office and manufacturing environments.\nYou’ll regularly move between project planning activities and the areas where the work is actually happening-including production, equipment installation, and active project or construction areas. Required PPE will vary depending on the area and activity.\nSome travel may also be required based on assigned projects, including travel to other Elmet facilities, supplier or vendor locations, and project sites.\nBuild What Manufacturing Needs Next\nElmet Technologies is a U.S.-based advanced manufacturer specializing in high-performance refractory metals and precision-engineered products. At our Coldwater facility, your projects can directly influence how we manufacture, the equipment our teams use, the processes they follow, and our ability to safely and efficiently meet customer needs.\nThat’s what makes this Project Manager position different from a traditional project coordination role.\nYou’re not just tracking the work. You’re helping turn an engineering concept into something our manufacturing teams can actually use.\nReady to Build What’s Next?\nIf you have the technical background to understand complex manufacturing projects and the project leadership skills to move them from concept through startup, we’d like to hear from you.\nBring your engineering knowledge, project leadership, and problem-solving skills to Elmet Technologies.\nApply today.\nSearch Process Note\nThe Elmet Group is managing this search directly and is not accepting submissions from outside recruitment firms.\nEqual Employment Opportunity Statement\nThe Elmet Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a proud federal contractor.
