Sr. Project Manager

SP Industries Inc. an ATS company  is seeking a Sr. Project Manager to join our Project Management Office (PMO), which provides high-quality project management execution of a portfolio of projects which supports SP’s strategic goals.
 
This position is onsite in Warminster, PA and will require travel to client locations.
 
What you will do:

• Lead strategic cross-functional projects from initiation through closeout, ensuring scope, schedule, cost, and quality objectives are met and stakeholders are aligned and satisfied.


• Strengthen SP’s PMO by leading initiatives that standardize project delivery (tools, templates, governance), applying structured problem solving (e.g., root-cause analysis) and continuous improvement to improve outcomes.


• Provide coaching and team leadership to the project manager team in project execution, stakeholder management, and structured problem solving/continuous improvement.

 
A majority of the PMO’s portfolio are “production” projects for engineering, fabrication, assembly and testing of food, drug and chemical batch process capital equipment and sub-systems within the domestic manufacturing facilities of the company and, as needed, at specific job sites worldwide. 
 
The PMO’s portfolio also includes other types of high-profile projects:

• R&D projects which support or expand SP’s portfolio of products


• Strategic projects which focus on cultural, process, or business transformation


• IT projects which provide new or improved technology infrastructure, systems, or business applications


• CAPEX projects which involve investments in facilities, machinery, or non-IT infrastructure

This position reports into the Director of Operations/General Manager.  This position will rely on a strong ability to be successful in a matrix organization where project team members report into their own functional teams.
 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Deliver assigned projects within the PMO portfolio, meeting scope, schedule, cost, and quality commitments.


• Travel up to 30% to SP facilities, vendors, and customer sites (including occasional international travel), as required.


• Track and report project performance (schedule, cost, risks, issues, and quality), and lead structured problem solving to address variances and prevent recurrence.


• Provide stage gate governance


• Serve as the primary point of contact for project stakeholders (including customers and end users), driving clear communication, timely decisions, and effective issue escalation/resolution.


• Partner cross-functionally across sales, portfolio management, estimating, engineering, service, manufacturing, and leadership to implement standard work, drive continuous improvement, and execute corrective/preventive actions identified through root-cause analysis.
