Senior Project Manager

Role Overview

• Actively participate in and technically guide R&D programs for wheel loaders and skid steer loaders targeted at North America and Europe.
• Define and finalize product technical specifications (performance, hydraulic system, structure, ergonomics, UI/UX, materials, emission compliance, etc.) based on in-depth understanding of regional customer habits, working conditions, and regulatory requirements.
• Provide professional technical recommendations and decisions derived from years of industry experience in the U.S. and European markets (no traditional market research or MKT surveys required).
• Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams (mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, testing, quality, manufacturing) throughout the full development cycle—concept, design, prototyping, validation, and SOP.
• Drive compliance with EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, OSHA, and other relevant North American/European standards from the very beginning of product definition.
• Review and approve engineering drawings, DFMEA, DVP&R, and validation plans to ensure reliability, durability, and field performance meet or exceed regional expectations.
• Identify and push technical differentiation opportunities versus competitors (Caterpillar, John Deere, Bobcat, Volvo CE, JCB, etc.).
• Work closely with testing and quality teams to define and execute rigorous validation programs tailored to North American and European job-site conditions.
• Support sales, marketing, and service teams by providing clear technical explanations and training materials to support accurate product positioning and after-sales support.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural Machinery Engineering, Vehicle Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• Minimum 8 years of hands-on experience in wheel loader or skid steer loader R&D/technical project management within the construction machinery industry.
• Rich practical experience with North American and/or European wheel loader and skid steer loader markets—deep understanding of real customer usage scenarios, operator preferences, job-site conditions, and regulatory requirements.
• Proven track record of leading complete product development cycles (from concept to mass production) for loaders or similar off-highway equipment.
• Strong technical background: capable of reading and approving engineering drawings, conducting technical reviews, and making sound engineering judgments.
• Excellent cross-functional coordination and communication skills; experience working with global R&D teams is a strong plus.
• Fluent in English; Chinese language skills are advantageous but not mandatory.

Benefits

• Highly competitive salary + performance bonus
• Comprehensive benefits
• 401(k)/social insurance & housing fund
• Global career development opportunities
• Direct access to state-of-the-art R&D and testing resources
