About The Position

The Project Manager owns two connected disciplines at FES: application engineering (scoping and quoting) and project delivery (execution through commissioning). Combining these functions in a single role creates a direct feedback loop—the person who quotes the job is the same person who executes it, which drives continuous improvement in cost accuracy, schedule realism, and customer satisfaction. This role is the single point of contact between the customer and FES from the quotation stage through project completion. The Project Manager works with the sales team during the proposal process, coordinates with engineering and operations to fulfill the order, provides complete documentation so the customer can prepare their site, and supports the operations team through commissioning. FES operates with clear individual accountability, a weekly cadence of structured reporting and problem-solving, and quarterly goals that connect day-to-day work to company-level priorities. This role carries ownership of every project from quote to commissioning and is expected to flag issues early, communicate transparently with stakeholders, and drive projects to completion without waiting to be directed. The application engineering function covers the front end of every project—translating customer requirements into accurate, buildable proposals. This is where cost discipline starts. The project delivery function picks up where the proposal ends. Because the same person quoted the job, there is no handoff gap—the Project Manager already understands what was promised, what it should cost, and where the risks are. A core expectation of this role is closing the loop between what was quoted and what was delivered. After each project, the Project Manager reviews actual costs, schedule performance, and scope changes against the original proposal. These findings feed directly into improved estimating for future projects. The company tracks this through structured weekly reviews and quarterly goal-setting.
