The Project Engineer will be located onsite in Pueblo, CO and reports to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager. This role drives the end-to-end planning and execution of manufacturing capital and facility projects — translating program and production requirements into scoped, scheduled, and delivered outcomes. With 3–5 years of hands-on experience spanning industrial project engineering, manufacturing systems integration, and automation or controls context, this individual serves as the connective tissue between Manufacturing Engineering, Automation & Controls, Process Engineering, Safety, and external contractors — ensuring that physical manufacturing environments and production line buildouts are delivered on time, on budget, and ready to run.

In this role, the essential functions are:

• Translate manufacturing and program requirements into clearly scoped Statements of Work (SOWs), defining deliverables, responsibilities, timelines, and acceptance criteria for capital, facility, and production line projects.

• Build, maintain, and actively drive project schedules — identifying critical path activities, tracking milestones, flagging risks, and ensuring on-time delivery across concurrent manufacturing buildout projects including automated production lines, test stands, energetic operations facility upgrades, and capability expansion efforts.

• Coordinate and oversee the installation and commissioning of manufacturing equipment, automation systems, robotic work cells, and controls infrastructure — serving as the on-site technical point of contact during construction and equipment installation phases.

• Track and manage equipment procurement, delivery, and installation status, maintaining accurate logs and communicating proactively with project teams, engineering stakeholders, and leadership.

• Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, field crews, and internal engineering teams to ensure scope, schedule, and quality requirements are understood and met; attend site walks, owner meetings, and coordination calls as the reliable point of contact for project status and technical clarifications.

• Maintain complete project documentation including SOWs, submittals, RFIs, meeting minutes, change orders, progress reports, and equipment commissioning records.

• Support procurement and contract administration processes, reviewing bids and scopes against program and manufacturing requirements; contribute project controls insight and lessons learned to future facility and manufacturing investments.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Manufacturing Engineering, Automation & Controls, Process Engineering, Safety, and Compliance to ensure manufacturing infrastructure projects are built to operational and regulatory requirements — including OSHA, ITAR, and hazardous environment standards.

• Proven ability to build and manage project schedules, track deliverables, and drive accountability across subcontractors, equipment vendors, and internal engineering teams on concurrent projects.

• Working knowledge of manufacturing systems, automation equipment, and controls infrastructure — sufficient to coordinate equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning activities with technical engineering teams.

• Experience tracking equipment procurement, delivery, and installation within a project controls or manufacturing project management context.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to convey technical requirements clearly to contractors, engineers, and leadership stakeholders.

• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Strong self-starter with the ability to work independently and as a contributing team member in a mission-driven environment.
