Job description

Description:

Position Summary:

Forgent Power Solutions is a leading manufacturer of dry-type and liquid-filled transformers serving commercial, industrial, and utility markets. We are seeking a Director of Project Management to own the full order lifecycle — from order acknowledgment through final delivery — for a high-volume, custom manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for managing a team of 4–6 Project Managers and building the systems and processes that ensure on-time, accurate execution across every order.


Key Responsibilities:


Team Leadership

  • Lead, develop, and hold accountable a team of 4–6 Project Managers across the full order execution cycle
  • Set clear performance expectations, conduct regular 1:1s, and build a culture of ownership and urgency
  • Serve as the escalation point for complex, high-stakes, or at-risk orders

Order Execution

  • Own the end-to-end process from order acknowledgment through customer delivery
  • Ensure submittal drawings are issued accurately and on schedule
  • Manage the drawing revision process — tracking customer redlines, ensuring internal review, and confirming correct resubmission
  • Drive proactive, professional customer communication at every stage: acknowledgment, submittals, revision cycles, production milestones, and shipping

Manufacturing Coordination

  • Partner closely with production planning and shop floor leadership to align order schedules with manufacturing capacity
  • Identify and resolve scheduling conflicts before they impact commit dates
  • Maintain real-time visibility into order status and proactively surface risks to commercial and operations leadership

Systems & Process

  • Build and enforce standardized PM workflows, SOPs, and tools that scale with order volume
  • Identify gaps in current processes and lead improvement initiatives with measurable outcomes
  • Ensure data integrity across ERP and project tracking systems

Qualifications: 

Required

  • 8+ years of experience in project management within industrial or manufacturing environments
  • 3+ years managing a team of project managers or equivalent roles
  • Demonstrated ability to build or significantly improve PM processes and systems in a production environment
  • Strong communication skills — comfortable owning customer relationships at a professional level
  • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, production, and sales teams
  • Proficiency with ERP systems and project tracking tools

Preferred

  • Experience in transformer, switchgear, electrical equipment, or related engineered-to-order manufacturing
  • Familiarity with submittal drawing workflows and engineering documentation processes
  • Experience in a made-to-order or configure-to-order manufacturing environment

Work Environment:

Periodic travel to manufacturing and operations facilities in California and Tijuana, Mexico
