• Delivers units on time, within scope, and aligned with MEG's safety and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Execution and Delivery:
• Manage a portfolio of genset packaging projects from kickoff through shipment and closeout.
• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, and deliverable trackers for each unit/program.
• Drive cross-functional execution across engineering, purchasing, fabrication, wiring, testing, and shipping.
• Coordinate internal production slots and capacity planning to meet multi-year delivery commitments.
• Anticipate constraints (long-lead items, resourcing, design approvals) and implement mitigation plans.
• Stakeholder Management:
• Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned OEM/customer stakeholders, providing proactive updates and issue resolution.
• Lead kickoff meetings, weekly status calls, milestone reviews, and post-delivery lessons learned.
• Ensure requirements, specifications, and expectations are captured, communicated, and managed throughout execution.
• Scope, Change Control, and Commercial Support:
• Maintain clear scope definition and manage scope changes through a documented change control process.
• Support commercial alignment by coordinating pricing inputs, documenting changes, and ensuring proper approvals.
• Track risks, assumptions, and decisions; elevate impacts to schedule/cost early and clearly.
• Procurement and Vendor Coordination:
• Partner with Supply Chain to identify long-lead components and release procurement packages on time.
• Cook up vendor submittals, deliveries, expediting, and quality documentation.
• Ensure purchased equipment and fabricated assemblies meet specification and schedule.
• Quality, Documentation, and Compliance:
• Ensure unit documentation is complete and accurate (drawings, BOMs, manuals, test records, shipping documents).
• Coordinate inspections, factory acceptance tests (FATs), punch lists, and corrective actions as required.
• Promote and enforce MEG safety expectations across internal work and vendor activities.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Identify repeatable issues and implement standard work to improve throughput, communication, and quality.
• Support program-level reporting for leadership: unit status, forecasted delivery dates, constraints, and key performance indicators.

• Proficiency with common PM tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Excel, ERP/MRP systems).
• Preferred Experience:
• Experience with power generation, CHP, engine/genset packaging, control panels, balance-of-plant skids, or similar industrial packaging.
• Experience working with OEM customers and/or structured customer quality/documentation requirements.
• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent training.
• Tech degree (Engineering, Construction Management, Operations, or similar).
