Job description

Ohio Machinery Co is seeking a Project Manager to lead a portfolio of cross‑functional initiatives that improve operational performance, processes, and business outcomes. This role sits within Six Sigma, Continuous Improvement. While projects may include systems or technology components, the primary focus is on process improvement, execution discipline, and the delivery of measurable business impact.

About the Role

The Project Manager is responsible for planning, executing, and delivering complex projects aligned with business priorities. This role partners closely with leaders and cross‑functional teams to define requirements, build realistic plans, manage dependencies, and ensure work progresses effectively. We will provide visibility into short‑, medium‑, and long‑term project pipelines, proactively identify risks and issues, and help stabilize or “rescue” at‑risk projects. The role also reinforces standardized project and portfolio management practices across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Manage a portfolio of moderately complex, cross‑functional projects aligned to business priorities
• Build detailed project plans, timelines, and resource requirements
• Track progress, manage dependencies, and adjust execution plans to meet timelines
• Partner with functional leaders to define scope, requirements, and success metrics
• Communicate project status, risks, and trade‑offs clearly to stakeholders
• Identify risks and issues early; drive mitigation and resolution actions
• Ensure adherence to standard project management practices, tools, and reporting
• Support data‑driven decision‑making and continuous improvement initiatives
• Assist in stabilization or recovery efforts for challenged or at‑risk projects

What We’re Looking For

• Proven ability to manage projects from initiation through execution and delivery
• Experience working on cross‑functional initiatives in operations, engineering, or business environments
• Strong organizational and planning skills with attention to detail
• Ability to manage competing priorities and adapt in a fast‑paced environment
• Effective communicator who can translate complex work into clear, actionable updates
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across teams and influence without authority

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, operations, or related field (required)
• 3–5+ years of project management or related experience
• Experience supporting cross‑functional projects with measurable outcomes
• Foundational knowledge of project management methodologies
• Exposure to process improvement or continuous improvement practices

Preferred

• PMP or similar certification (preferred, not required)
• Experience in service, distribution, or operational environments
• Familiarity with Lean or Agile principles
• Exposure to project portfolio tracking tools or reporting systems

Physical Requirements

Primary functions require sufficient physical ability and mobility to work in an office setting; to stand or sit for prolonged periods; to occasionally stoop, bend, kneel, crouch, reach, and twist; to lift, carry, push, and/or pull light to moderate amounts of weight; to operate office equipment requiring repetitive hand movement and fine coordination, including use of a computer keyboard; and to verbally communicate to exchange information. The work environment is typically quiet in office settings, with moderate to occasionally loud noise in other environments.
