Project Manager - Industrial Automation

About the role

Maveneer is an engineering design firm specializing in the design and implementation of distribution center and manufacturing operations, both new and retrofit. We are a rapidly growing startup founded by industry leaders in industrial automation, material handling systems, and operational leadership. We seek exceptionally talented, high-integrity individuals who want to be part of a team that does great work, supports one another, and strives to build a company we can all be proud of.

As a Project Manager, you will lead clients and a professional team through the full lifecycle of building the concepts we design—from detailed specifications of equipment and systems, bid and supplier selection, manufacturing and delivery, code development, system and equipment installation, testing, training, go-live, and stabilization. You will be the leader of the build effort, ultimately responsible for all planning, execution, risk management, communications, and financial controls across a broad range of stakeholders.

Most importantly—you take extreme ownership in everything you do. You make it happen. You proactively ask for help when you need it, but you don’t wait for someone else to get it done.
