Hardware Integration Project Manager (Facilities & Equipment) - EV Construction Management

Turner & Townsend • San Francisco, CA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Turner & Townsend is seeking an experienced Hardware Integration Project Manager (Facilities & Equipment) to join their team. This role is situated at the intersection of product development, engineering, and real-world deployment, focusing on leading the implementation of emerging technologies from early-stage prototypes to scalable, deployable design standards. The primary objective is to ensure new products function effectively in real environments and to proactively identify and resolve integration challenges. This is not a traditional construction project management role; it operates upstream in the development cycle, influencing product design, testing, and implementation in physical spaces. The role involves close collaboration with architecture and engineering teams, vendors, and consultants to validate and implement solutions. The environment is dynamic, with many processes still under development, requiring comfort with ambiguity and the ability to define future paths.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, architecture, or equivalent experience with physical system design/implementation
• 5–8+ years of experience in roles such as: Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering, Architecture (with strong technical/build focus & engineering collaboration), Product implementation / hardware deployment, Industrial or systems design tied to physical environments
• Experience working with physical products, systems, or infrastructure (not just software or digital products implementation)
• Ability to evaluate how products interact with real-world constraints (space, power, installation, environment, maintenance, and access)
• Proven ability to take concepts or early-stage designs and make them executable in real-world environments
• Strong organizational and management skills – collaborating across multiple disciplines (engineering, operations, vendors, facilities, etc.)
• Strong requirements gathering and problem-solving skills
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Experience reviewing and providing QA/QC of design drawings, technical documents, and/or product specifications
• Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu and Microsoft 365 and/or Google Workspace products

Nice To Haves

• Mechanical engineering background (strongly preferred)
• Experience with R&D environments, labs, or prototyping workflows – vetting and validating products against the client standards, codes, etc.
• Background in industrial design or product design validation
• Experience with vendor and external partner management
• Familiarity with permitting, codes, and compliance considerations
• Experience working in ambiguous or early-stage programs
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, Miro, and Asana

Responsibilities

• Own the implementation path for new products from prototype through standardization
• Work directly with engineering, product, facilities, security, and operations teams to validate real-world requirements early
• Translate prototypes and concepts into deployable solutions that can be installed, maintained, and scaled
• Identify integration risks across physical environments (space constraints, power, network, installation methods, storage, etc.) and drive mitigation plans
• Coordinate with external vendors, manufacturers, and consultants to ensure solutions are viable and executable
• Build and manage the R&D implementation roadmap, ensuring infrastructure and readiness align with product development
• Communicate status, risks, and key decisions across stakeholders through written updates, working sessions, and reviews
• Respond quickly to incoming R&D issues (e.g., design gaps, prototype failures, installation blockers) and drive resolution across teams
• Independently review drawing sets, submittments, and specifications to identify gaps, risks, and implementation issues
• Provide guidance to project teams on approaches to achieve client and business objectives
• Ensure that key information and learnings generated from each project is captured
• Identify ways to improve internal systems and processes as they relate to R&D and your team objectives
• Lead product vetting against design standards, permitting, and code requirements
• Define and document repeatable standards based on validated solutions
• Drive final documentation approval with team leads, ensuring standards, specifications, and design outputs are validated prior to release
• Facilitate working sessions to align cross-functional teams where requirements are unclear or conflicting
• Document learnings and help shape emerging design standards and processes
• Adhere to SOX control responsibilities where applicable.

Benefits

• Great place to work
• Opportunity and voice to affect change
• Support for succeeding in work and life
• Healthy, productive and flexible working environment that respects work-life balance
• Equal opportunity employer
• Celebration of diversity
• Inclusive environment for all employees
• Active encouragement of applications from all sectors of the community
