Responsibilities

Drive every project from PO award through final delivery — keeping customers informed, internal teams aligned, and ship dates intact.
Be the customer’s main point of contact after the PO is awarded.
Communicate progress, issues, change orders, and delivery timing clearly and professionally.
Send regular updates with project photos.
Maintain the project-level schedule — customer milestones, drawing release dates, fabrication start, target ship dates — and update it weekly.
Track every job in flight — multiple tanks at different stages at any given time — through PRE FAB → FIT → TESTING → FINISHING, so you always know where each tank stands.
Lead internal project meetings — clear agenda, decisions made, action items with named owners and due dates, follow-up communication issued same day.
Lead recurring customer project reviews.
Defend the customer-promised ship date.
Coordinate with production, engineering, and QC to keep things on track.
When issues come up, work them with the people who can fix them — and bring problems to leadership already on a path to resolution.
Stay on top of every input that affects a tank’s timeline — materials, drawings, QC schedules, vendor deliveries/services.
Coordinate change orders— work with Sales and Operations to determine and communicate the impact of changes on cost and schedule to the customer.
Surface risks early — to the team internally and to customers when needed; don’t let a missed milestone be a surprise to anyone.
Coordinate trucking and shipping logistics as projects approach completion.
Keep accurate, organized records — trackers, customer correspondence, milestone dates, change orders — that match reality and support clear status reporting.
