Technical Project Manager

Actemium Avanceon is hiring an experienced project manager with an engineering background (preferably a controls engineer or prior experience working in system integration) to join our PMO Team. Technical background in industrial controls or automation is preferred only to understand our customers and projects; this role does not involve engineering deliverables. 

The Project Manager will be responsible for understanding and upholding Avanceon’s project execution process to lead a team of engineers in the successful delivery of customer projects. The Project Manager works closely with a designated Project Technical Lead; the two roles share responsibility for the project, with the Project Manager owning the commercial aspects and the Technical Lead owning technical delivery and quality.

• Drive, monitor, and document all aspects of the project execution process
• Lead clear, concise, and accurate communication among project team members and customers
• Protect project profitability through active budget management, forecasting, and change control
• Identify risks early, address issues with urgency, and navigate difficult conversations to maintain project health
• Build and maintain positive customer relationships while upholding appropriate professional boundaries
• Understand customer business drivers and align project decisions with both customer and Avanceon objectives
• Collaborate effectively across all Avanceon departments to ensure successful project delivery

Requirements

• Prior project management experience in systems integration or relevant/transferable environments
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
• Excellent organizational and administrative skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks effectively
• Consistent follow-through on administrative and documentation responsibilities, recognizing their importance to project success
• Demonstrated business acumen with the ability to think beyond day-to-day tasks and manage work across multiple concurrent projects
• Ability to engage effectively at all levels of a customer organization — from plant-floor personnel to senior leadership
• Ability to partner closely with a Project Technical Lead while maintaining accountability for commercial outcomes
• Ability to travel occasionally to customer sites for in-person meetings, project reviews, and startup support
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and multiple active customers
