Job Summary

We\'re looking for a manufacturing project manager /project engineer who can estimate jobs as well as manage the project once it becomes an order. We\'d expects this person to be capable of handling multiple projects at one time, managing details, P&IDs, schematics, solid follow up, and a can-do attitude.

Be a Problem Solver-The kind of work we do creates lots potential for trouble shooting. You must be able to find out what happened, and how to fix it with minimal supervision and usually under time constraints.
