Project Manager

The Project Manager will own and drive the end-to-end execution of large-scale engineering and process project orders secured from Strategic Key Accounts and Big EPC firms across India. This critical role bridges the gap between sales closure and final delivery, managing project opportunities from the initial Request for Quotation (RFQ) evaluation phase, through engineering and manufacturing, up to final site execution and contract payment collection. Utilizing rigorous PMP methodologies, the incumbent will ensure that complex, high-value projects are delivered on time, within scope, safely, and at target profitability margins while securing organizational cash flow.

Apply global PMP standards to define project charters, execute risk management plans, and track milestones for large-scale energy and process industry orders.

Own the project lifecycle continuously across four distinct phases:

Serve as the single point of contact (SPOC) for senior project directors and engineering heads at Tier-1 EPC firms and key asset owners during order execution.

Lead regular project progress review meetings, manage conflict resolution, and manage client expectations regarding variations, timelines, and deliverables.

Maintain a proactive project risk register, identifying potential bottlenecks in manufacturing, supply chain, or engineering dependencies before they impact delivery timelines.

Rigorously monitor project cash flows, track invoicing milestones against actual progress, and resolve any commercial or documentation disputes that delay revenue realization.

Lead cross-functional coordination aligning local sales teams, factory operations, procurement, and backend application engineers to maintain project velocity.

Feed real-time project updates into the factory S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) loop to balance shop-floor capacities with delivery mandates.

Financial & Collection Discipline: Strong commercial focus, treating final payment collection and cash-flow management as core project success metrics.

Matrix Influence: Exceptional ability to drive execution across diverse teams (factories, engineering, clients) without direct line authority.

Structured Execution: Highly organized mindset capable of breaking down highly complex, multi-year engineering projects into trackable, actionable milestones.
