Global Power Components is a privately held, growing manufacturer of UL heavy gauge steel fuel tanks, trailers, large generator enclosures and modular metal enclosures for housing fully-equipped electrical distribution and control equipment.
We have recently moved operations into a newly renovated 450,000 sq. foot facility that will foster our continued growth as we continue to be recognized as the undisputed leaders in our industry.
As a result of our expansion, we are looking for a Project Manager to join our growing organization.
Global Power Components is interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, at this time we are unable to sponsor Visas.
The manufacturing of our products is tied to a constantly changing work schedule. The schedule can change several times a day due to forces that are outside of our control.
A core responsibility of the Project Manager will be to work with the department supervisors to maintain a smooth work flow. If problems arise, a solution must be worked out immediately. If production in one department is held up, resources must be shuffled to a different department to help pull the schedule back in line. Issues and product changes will happen on a daily basis. Solutions must be quickly enacted in a calm and confident fashion.
The position requires constant follow-up and great people skills. This person should have manufacturing experience, be able to meet critical deadlines, be very thorough and micro-managing will be a major responsibility. Recent College grads encouraged to apply.
