Job Description
Job Description
Our client is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead complex, cross-functional internal projects within a fast-paced engineering and operations environment. This full-time, exempt position is based on-site in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Project Manager leads the full lifecycle of internal projects, including complex, multi-disciplinary initiatives spanning Engineering, Procurement, Operations, and other key business units.

- Develop and maintain project plans using Microsoft Project, monitoring progress and adjusting schedules as needed
- Coordinate across Engineering, Procurement, and Operations to ensure cross-functional alignment and effective handoffs
- Manage multinational project implementations across diverse cultural, linguistic, and regulatory environments
- Maintain SharePoint project documentation, ensuring project records are accurate, organized, and up to date
- Oversee project documentation, reporting, dashboards, and governance structures to ensure transparency and visibility
- Motivate teams, resolve conflicts, and ensure collaboration across functional boundaries and time zones
- Mentor or support junior project managers, coordinators, or technical contributors as needed
- Apply a broad understanding of electrical, mechanical, software, and robotics disciplines to support planning, troubleshooting, and stakeholder communication
- Collaborate with engineering teams to evaluate technical feasibility, manage technical risks, and support design or implementation decisions
- Partner with procurement and supply chain teams to assess lead times, vendor capacity, and material requirements
- Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external project stakeholders
- Identify project risks and implement mitigation strategies to protect schedule, quality, and cost targets
- Ensure compliance with applicable safety, regulatory, and quality standards across regions
- Conduct post-project evaluations and implement continuous improvement practices
- Lead meetings with internal and external teams, including those outside standard business hours as needed due to time zone differences
- Support occasional international travel for onsite implementation, kickoff meetings, and vendor coordination
Qualifications
Required
- 5–10 years of successful project management experience in engineering, manufacturing, industrial automation, or technology environments
- Proven experience leading cross-functional and multinational teams
