Position Description

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive project manager to oversee the internal project lifecycle for our data center chiller solutions – from the point of sale through to installation. This roll will serve as the key coordinator, ensuring that all project milestones are met on time and that any issues or updates are communicated effectively across departments and stakeholders. 
While the onsite installation will be managed by a separate project manager, this role will focus on the internal execution of chiller projects, ensuring smooth transitions between sales, engineering, manufacturing, and delivery. The ideal candidate will have strong project management experience, the ability to indirectly lead cross-functional teams, and a PMP certification.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary internal project manager from the sales handoff through final installation.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, milestones, and deliverables, ensuring projects stay on track.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics teams to coordinate project execution.
• Identify and mitigate risks, ensuring any delays or issues are communicated promptly to stakeholders.
• Act as the primary point of contact for internal teams, providing regular project updates and status reports. 
• Work closely with the onsite project manager to ensure a smooth transition when the chiller reaches installation. 
• Manage change orders, scope adjustments, and customer expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and company processes.
• Drive process improvements to enhance project execution and efficiency. 

Required Education & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or related field.
• 5+ years of project management experience in manufacturing, HVAC/R, industrial equipment or data center infrastructure.
• PMP certification highly preferred.
• Experience managing complex, multi-stage projects with cross-functional teams.
• Strong understanding of chiller systems, refrigeration, or HVAC technology is a plus. 
• Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in project management tools (MS project, Smartsheet, or similar).
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple project simultaneously.
• Strong leadership skills to indirectly influence and coordinate teams.
