This role combines disciplined project management with sufficient technical understanding to coordinate mechanical, electrical, controls, software, safety, process, supplier, and plant activities as one integrated system. The Technical Project Manager does not replace discipline experts; the role ensures their work is clearly defined, connected, sequenced, tested, and delivered against the plant's operating requirements. Success is measured by safe, reliable, maintainable production performance as well as scope, schedule, and cost performance.\nEssential Functions:\nProject Definition & Planning\nTranslate plant operating needs into clear project requirements, deliverables, acceptance criteria, schedules, budgets, and resource plans.\nEstablish project scope with leadership, manufacturing engineering, operations, maintenance, safety, quality, and Technology functions.\nConfirm technical assumptions, interfaces, constraints, and responsibilities before design and procurement commitments are made.\nDevelop integrated schedules covering engineering, procurement, fabrication, controls development, testing, installation, commissioning, training, and production ramp-up.\nIdentify scope gaps, technical risks, and long-lead constraints early enough to prevent downstream cost and schedule impacts.\nSupport capital requests, cost estimates, business cases, resource plans, and project execution plans.\nTechnical Integration:\nServe as the central integration point across mechanical design, electrical design, controls, software, fabrication, tooling, utilities, safety systems, and manufacturing processes.\nFacilitate design reviews and ensure technical decisions, open items, and interface requirements are documented and resolved.\nChallenge specifications and assumptions that create risk to safety, performance, reliability, maintainability, cost, or schedule.\nCoordinate technical dependencies among internal GEMS team, AMET, Controls Engineering, Welding and Cutting Management, Asset Care and Reliability, plant resources, and external suppliers\nEnsure changes within one technical discipline are evaluated for their effects on the complete equipment system.\nMaintain decision, risk, issue, action, and change-control records throughout the project lifecycle.\nDrive timely resolution of technical issues and design decisions to maintain project schedule while appropriately balancing safety, performance, cost, manufacturability, and risk.\nEquipment Build & Supplier Management:\nCoordinate equipment design, fabrication, assembly, integration, and internal testing.\nManage technical communication and deliverables with equipment suppliers, integrators, contractors, and component manufacturers.\nConfirm critical technical decisions and long-lead components are addressed early in the project.\nMonitor supplier progress against technical requirements, milestones, cost, quality, and documentation expectations.\nRegularly review equipment build status on the fabrication/assembly floor and identify technical, material, resource, or schedule constraints requiring resolution.\nCoordinate resolution of nonconforming components, design deviations, and supplier performance issues.\nEnsure purchased equipment can be integrated into Valmont's safety, controls, maintenance, operating, and data environments.\nTesting, Installation & Validation:\nDevelop commissioning and validation plans with technical leads and the receiving plant.\nEstablish measurable factory acceptance test and site acceptance test criteria before testing begins.\nEnsure testing verifies production capability rather than only basic machine movement or functionality.\nCoordinate installation, utilities, controls integration, safety validation, debugging, production trials, and ramp-up activities.\nConfirm the equipment achieves agreed requirements for safety, throughput, quality, uptime, cycle time, and process capability.\nMaintain an open-items process through final resolution and formal acceptance.\nPlant Readiness and Handoffs:\nEngage plant operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, and quality personnel throughout the project.\nEnsure the plant receives required training, spare-parts recommendations, preventive-maintenance plans, technical documentation, software backups, and troubleshooting knowledge.\nDefine ownership and escalation paths for issues that arise during installation and production ramp-up.\nCoordinate the transition from project execution to sustained plant ownership and support.\nConfirm performance is stable and acceptance criteria are met before project closure.\nCapture lessons learned and incorporate them into future equipment designs, standards, and project practices.\nProject Controls & Communication:\nManage project scope, schedule, budget, resources, risks, issues, actions, and changes.\nProvide concise, fact-based project reporting to plant and Manufacturing Technology leadership.\nEscalate decisions and constraints early with clearly defined options and recommendations.\nFacilitate cross-functional meetings that produce decisions, accountable owners, and due dates.\nMaintain alignment between technical progress, capital commitments, and the project's business objectives.\nOther Important Details about the Role:\nRemain apprised of emerging equipment, automation, controls, and manufacturing technologies through supplier engagement, industry events, professional networks, and technical research.\nPartner with manufacturing plants in developing site technology roadmaps that improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, and capacity.\nSupport equipment, supplier, component, and technology standardization across the organization where standardization improves lifecycle value.\nBalance near-term project delivery with equipment maintainability, reliability, obsolescence risk, and total cost of ownership.\nMeet or exceed established project performance and equipment acceptance goals.\nWork independently and lead through influence across functions, plants, suppliers, and contractors.\nTravel up to 50%, including overnight domestic travel and occasional international travel, with periods of concentrated travel during build, installation, and startup.\nRequired Qualifications of Every Candidate (Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities)\nBachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology, manufacturing, industrial technology, project management, or a related discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.\nFive or more years of experience managing industrial equipment, automation, manufacturing engineering, or capital projects.\nDemonstrated experience coordinating multidisciplinary
