What you’ll need

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, Operations, Supply Chain, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of project management, program coordination, operations, manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, construction, or cross-functional execution experience.
• PMP, Lean, Six Sigma, Agile, or equivalent project management / continuous improvement certification preferred, but not required.
• Experience supporting cross-functional projects involving multiple stakeholders, functions, deliverables, risks, and dependencies.
• Working knowledge of project management fundamentals, including scope management, schedule tracking, risk and issue management, action tracking, dependency management, and stakeholder communication.
• Proficiency with Jira, Smartsheet, Confluence, Power BI, Excel, and Microsoft Office tools.
• Demonstrated ability to organize ambiguous information, develop executable plans, maintain accurate project data, and create clear visual reporting.
