  • Ensure team capability keeps pace with increasing technical and market requirements
  • Champion structured project execution, including customer kick-off meetings and stage-gate processes
  • Manage internal stakeholders within a matrix organization and resolve conflicts when required
  • Identify and proactively manage technical and commercial risks across projects
  • Support close coordination between engineering, automation, installation, and aftermarket teams

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automation, or related technical field
  • Minimum 5 years of project management experience in a manufacturing or engineered-product environment
  • At least 3 years of experience leading project managers and/or engineers
  • Strong understanding of electrical and automation systems, installation, and commissioning
  • Experience with stage-gate project models, change management, and quality/NCR processes
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Project and ERP/project tools; working knowledge of CAD systems
  • Ability to read and manage customer contracts and technical documentation
  • Strong leadership presence, sound judgment, and ability to operate in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
  • Willingness to travel internationally up to approximately 45 days per year

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Salary: $115,00 – $130,000
  • Benefits: Caljan offers medical, dental, vision, and 401K with a match.
