Power Generation Manager Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

A major focus of this role is quotation ownership and order execution. The Product Manager prepares and reviews quotes for new build units and aftermarket repair work, confirms scope and technical requirements with the customer, applies appropriate pricing and lead times, and then follows the resulting orders through the factory to ensure committed delivery dates are met. This requires close daily coordination with Manufacturing, Production Planning, and Procurement so that material and capacity constraints are identified early rather than at the ship date.

The Product Manager is also accountable for delivering new product development on time and on budget, including the 3-gear pump program and other assigned development projects, working closely with Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing, and the customer. In support of the product line’s growth, this position represents Roper Pump at industry trade shows and leads customer meetings both online and in person as business needs require.

• Prepare, review, and issue quotations for new build power generation pumps and for aftermarket repair work, ensuring accurate scope, pricing, lead time, and commercial terms.
• Review customer inquiries, specifications, drawings, and bid documents to define the technical scope of each quote and identify deviations, exceptions, or non-standard requirements early.
• Work with Engineering and Procurement to obtain the cost, material, and lead-time inputs needed to quote accurately and competitively.
• Scope repair opportunities in coordination with the repair shop and Engineering, determining feasibility and pricing for teardown, inspection, reverse engineering, and refurbishment work.

Project Routing and On-Time Delivery

• Route new build and repair projects through the factory, ensuring each job is properly released, routed, scheduled, and sequenced to support the committed delivery date.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Production Planning to monitor job status, identify bottlenecks, and escalate risks that could threaten on-time delivery.
• Maintain clear line of sight for Manufacturing and Procurement so that material, component, and long-lead part requirements are identified early and ordered in time to support the schedule.
• Serve as the internal owner of delivery commitments for power generation orders, communicating status, revised dates, and recovery plans to customers and Commercial leadership.
• Track on-time delivery performance for the product line and drive corrective action when the schedule slips.
• Coordinate expedites, order changes, and priority conflicts between competing jobs in a way that balances customer commitments with factory capacity.

New Product Development

• Lead the 3-gear pump program and other assigned new product development projects, ensuring they are completed on time, on budget, and to the agreed technical and commercial requirements.
• Manage development projects from concept through commercialization, ensuring customer and commercial specifications are clearly defined, communicated, and achieved.
• Own the development budget for assigned programs, tracking spend against plan and flagging variances early.

• Support the creation and review of technical marketing materials for the power generation portfolio, including datasheets, application guides, case studies, and presentations.
