• Develop detailed project plans, timelines, milestones, budgets, and resource requirements.
• Coordinate with engineering, production, maintenance, quality, purchasing, and other departments to ensure project objectives are met.
• Monitor project progress, identify risks or delays, and develop corrective action plans to keep projects on schedule.

• Maintain accurate project documentation, reports, schedules, and performance records.
• Anticipate project risks and proactively address issues before they impact timelines, quality, or budget.
• Ensure projects meet applicable quality, safety, regulatory, and company standards.
• Communicate project expectations and deadlines clearly across multiple departments and levels of the organization.
• Provide leadership and direction to cross-functional project teams without necessarily having direct supervisory responsibility.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and implement lessons learned from completed projects.

• Proven ability to identify project risks and develop effective solutions.
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through.
• Ability to work independently while also collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Experience working with ERP, project management, or engineering software is preferred.
• Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment where priorities and project requirements may change.
