Job description

Technical Senior Project Manager
Mativ is a global leader in specialty materials headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company offers a wide range of critical components and engineered solutions that connect, protect, and purify our world.
The Technical Senior Project Manager (the "Manager") develops, proposes, installs, and commissions equipment projects costing between $1 million and $30 million at Mativ's North American locations. The ideal candidate has a mechanical background and broad technical experience, serving as the 'chief engineer' for investment project deployment. Projects will range from simple equipment procurement and commissioning to complex integrations requiring extensive design and supplier integration. Line/equipment relocations, as well as facility closures, are also in scope.
The Manager will be on-site at the target location as needed, but the Manager will be located remotely near one of the following airports: Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, or Newark.
Position Responsibilities:
  • Gain a thorough understanding of the project opportunities and challenges by engaging safety, production, quality, maintenance, commercial, and finance stakeholders. This includes understanding the business and operational details, the facility's preparation (electrical, utilities, structural, etc.), and the capabilities of local resources to support a successful completion.
  • Familiarize with available technologies, suppliers, and trades. Identify and validate lower-cost solutions, if available.
  • Develop project concepts using CAD and other tools that align stakeholders with project alternatives.
  • Develop written equipment and system requirements; ensure Mativ's technical, spending, and performance interests are included in equipment and services agreements.
  • Perform risk analyses and proactively mitigate them.
  • Develop project success metrics and align Mativ to the project proposal and justification.
  • Use project management tools, e.g., Gantt, WBS, risk tracking, and action tracking to effectively and visibly manage progress.
  • Attend factory acceptance tests as necessary.
  • Supervise installation and commissioning activity on site.
  • Up to 50% domestic travel
  • Additional duties as assigned

Work Experience:
  • A BS in engineering is required. Mechanical engineering preferred.
  • 10 years of experience as a lead engineer and project manager specifying, preparing for, procuring, installing, and commissioning machinery on behalf of a facility (receiving) or an OEM (delivery). Projects must have been at least $1M in size. At least 5 years of experience as a design engineer.
  • Experienced in developing comprehensive requirements, justification proposals, and metrics.
  • Experienced in utilities. e.g., HVAC, water, gas, electrical, and OT network
  • Experienced in process measurement, e.g., sample property testing, inline process measurement, and vision inspection.
  • Experienced in procuring machinery with custom PLC programming and safety requirements.
  • A broad experience in industrial manufacturing processes is required. e.g., polymer extrusion (preferred), coating, paper-making, or automated assembly systems.

Knowledge and Skills:
  • Demonstrated conceptual, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Skilled in describing complex concepts graphically.
  • Skilled in extracting and articulating functional requirements and performance metrics
  • Excellent interaction, collaboration, and presentation skills.
  • Familiar with ANSI B11 safety standards, civil and structural design stamping requirements, electrical code requirements, OEE calculation, mechanical and electrical design principles, and system modeling.
  • Effective working remotely.
