About The Position

Turner & Townsend is seeking an experienced Product Implementation Senior Project Manager to join their team. This role is 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 responsibility is to ensure new products function effectively in real environments and to proactively identify and resolve integration challenges. This position operates upstream in the development cycle, influencing product design, testing, and implementation in physical spaces, and requires collaboration with architecture, engineering teams, vendors, and consultants. The role involves navigating an evolving environment with developing processes, requiring comfort with incomplete information 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.
