Project Manager Specialist III-CA

Are you an expert at navigating complex projects from "Concept to Commissioning"? Blentech Corporation, a world leader in custom food processing technology, is seeking a Project Manager Specialist III. At Blentech, we don't just build machines; we build high-performance systems for the world’s most recognizable food brands. We need a seasoned leader who can manage high-value projects with precision, ensuring that our systems are delivered on time, on budget, and beyond customer expectations.

The Role: The Engine of Project Success

As a Level III Project Manager, you will handle our most complex, large-scale accounts. You are the driving force behind your projects, managing the delicate balance between engineering specifications, manufacturing timelines, and customer requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Lead projects from the initial hand-off from Sales through design, fabrication, testing (FAT), and final installation at the customer site
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for global customers, providing clear updates and managing expectations throughout the build cycle
• Financial Stewardship: Manage project budgets, track costs, and ensure profitability while identifying and mitigating risks early
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Drive collaboration between Mechanical Engineering, Automation, and the Fabrication shop to maintain a "pace-setting" schedule
• Complex Logistics: Coordinate the shipping and installation of massive systems that often require specialized transport and 3-6 semi-trucks per delivery

What You Bring to the Team

• Experience: 7-10+ years of project management experience in an industrial manufacturing or capital equipment environment.
• Education: BS in Engineering, Business, or a related technical field.
• Technical Savvy: While you aren't the lead designer, you must be comfortable reading CAD drawings and understanding the mechanics of motors, heat transfer, and stainless-steel fabrication.
• Certifications: PMP (Project Management Professional) certification is a plus.
• Communication: Exceptional negotiation and presentation skills. You can hold your own in a boardroom and on the factory floor.
• Adaptability: Flexibility is a core Blentech value. You thrive in a dynamic environment where priorities can shift at a moment's notice.
• Travel up to 40% domestic and internationally
