Project Manager

Description: Position Summary Forgent Power Solutions is a leading manufacturer of dry-type and liquid-filled transformers serving commercial, industrial, and utility markets. We supply utilities, EPCs, data center developers, and renewable and battery storage projects across North America. We are seeking a Project Manager to own Forgent transformer projects from the executed contract through successful commissioning completion. The Project Manager is the customer's primary point of contact for that window and is accountable for the commercial and delivery outcome of the purchase order, coordinating Engineering, Supply Chain, Production, Logistics, Quality, and Field Service to meet it. Key Responsibilities Contract Launch & Order Release – Take handoff from Business Development, including scope, commercial terms, and customer expectations set during the sale; confirm the order entry and acknowledgment are consistent with the contract. – Lead internal and customer kickoff; establish the communication cadence, escalation path, and document-approval schedule for the life of the project. – Drive submittal drawing development and customer approval; manage the redline and revision cycle so resubmittals are accurate, tracked, and on schedule. – Confirm customer specification requirements at launch — applicable IEEE/ANSI standards, DOE efficiency levels, UL listings, and site acceptance testing expectations — then release the BOM and trigger procurement with Engineering and Supply Chain. Delivery Execution – Own the customer-facing delivery schedule.

Budget & Cost Control – Identify scope change early; quote and process change orders before the affected work proceeds. – Track and report liquidated damage and back-charge exposure to functional leadership on a defined cadence, with a recovery or mitigation position for each. – Own the financial performance of assigned projects — revenue forecasting, cost-to-complete tracking against the as-sold estimate, and margin protection through delivery. Billing & Progress Measurement – Drive billing milestones and invoicing on schedule, and work with Finance and the customer to clear aged receivables on assigned accounts. – Retain commercial items through project closure, including items that outlive the gate, and record their disposition. Commissioning & Handover – Remain the customer's single point of contact through installation, startup, and commissioning; coordinate site issues, contractor activity, and troubleshooting while Field Services executes the technical work. – Verify the commissioning record, close or formally transfer open items, and issue the warranty certificate. – Complete the handoff to Customer Care against the published gate checklist, including a joint introduction to the customer's …
