Project Manager - Industrial Services

FabTek Industries is looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead industrial equipment installation and fabrication projects. The role involves overseeing field crews, collaborating with engineers, and ensuring projects are completed safely and on schedule, with significant travel to client job sites.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate directly with engineers on equipment layouts, drawings, and design modifications
• Review and verify drawings and measurements in SolidWorks, coordinating dimensional details with the installation team before and during the install
• Travel to client jobsites and remain onsite for the duration of the installation, directing the work and representing FabTek to the customer
• Oversee and lead field crews of millwrights, welders, fabricators, and installers to complete projects safely, correctly, and on schedule
• Run daily onsite coordination — crew assignments, sequencing, material and equipment staging, and progress against schedule
• Identify and resolve drawing discrepancies and troubleshoot design issues in the field, keeping the project moving without waiting on a redesign
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers and provide clear, timely project updates to upper management
• Coordinate schedules, manpower, material, and equipment across concurrent project phases
• Support mechanical piping scope where it falls within the project

Requirements:

• 10 years of relevant project management or industrial project experience. Candidates with 5–7 years of consistent experience in the poultry processing field will also be considered
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively and stay onsite at client facilities for the duration of a project
• Demonstrated experience working and collaborating with engineers on equipment layouts, drawings, and modifications
• Strong communication skills with both upper management and customers
• Proven ability to lead a multi-trade crew — millwrights, welders, fabricators, and installers — and deliver a project on schedule
• Strong problem-solving ability, specifically resolving drawing discrepancies and troubleshooting design issues in the field
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, or a comparable 3D CAD application such as Inventor, Solid Edge, Creo, NX, or Fusion 360 — enough to open models and drawings, check dimensions and measurements, and coordinate with the installation team
• Hands-on background in the metal trades: welding, fabrication, and equipment installation
• Experience with mechanical piping
• Familiarity with AutoCAD in addition to SolidWorks
• Prior experience in food or poultry processing facilities
