What You'll Do

As an Industrial Project Manager II, you'll lead medium- to high-scope industrial projects with a strong emphasis on process/chemical facility work-driving scope, schedule, budget, quality, and client confidence across complex projects executed in live plant environments.

• Lead mid-size, multidisciplinary industrial projects involving process systems, plant expansions, utility upgrades, brownfield modifications, and production support infrastructure.
• Serve as the primary contact between clients and the SSR project team while driving Total Project Success across scope, budget, schedule, and quality.
• Coordinate project delivery for facilities such as food manufacturing plants, chemical/process facilities, renewables operations, petroleum-related projects, power stations, and other industrial environments.
• Lead project kickoffs and define project execution expectations for technical teams, clients, and stakeholders.
• Develop staffing plans and man-hour budgets with the Senior PM, CRM, Department Head, or Operations Director; assist in estimating project cost and hours.
• Establish realistic schedules that account for long-lead equipment, shutdown windows, operational constraints, phased implementation, and construction sequencing in active facilities.
• Ensure project documentation is complete, organized, and properly stored; identify and administer additional-services fees when scope changes occur.
• Monitor project risks related to quality, safety, constructability, schedule, budget, and client operations; determine causes and lead corrective action with the design team.
• Prepare and implement proactive QA/QC plans tailored to complex industrial/process projects where coordination accuracy is critical.
• Collaborate with process/chemical, mechanical, electrical, structural, civil, and controls disciplines to ensure coordinated solutions for plant and process environments.
• Guide client conversations around scope clarification, design decisions, schedule impacts, operational constraints, and delivery risks.
• Pursue ongoing internal and external training to deepen expertise in industrial/process project delivery and strengthen leadership capability.
