Job Description
Position Title: Project Manager
Wage: Based on Experience
We’re partnering with a long-standing Midwest fabrication company (100+ years in operation) to identify a hands-on Project Manager / Detailer / Estimator. This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of customer management, technical detailing, and shop execution.
This opportunity in Kenosha, WI is ideal for someone who thrives in a job shop environment and enjoys owning projects from concept through production.
Project Manager Responsibilities:
- Act as primary contact for customer accounts and project execution
- Interpret drawings and develop detailed fabrication packages
- Build Bills of Materials (BOMs) and perform material takeoffs
- Generate quotes and cost estimates
- Track jobs through burn table operations, fabrication & welding and shop floor workflow
- Identify drawing discrepancies and collaborate with customers on solutions
- Support production coordination and material planning
Requirements for Project Manager:
- Experience in a job shop or custom fabrication environment
- Strong detailing and drawing interpretation skills
- Hands-on experience with BOM creation, takeoffs and quoting / estimating
- Familiarity with structural steel components (plate, beams, angle, etc.)
- CAD experience (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Advanced Steel, ProNest, or similar)
- Ability to manage multiple projects while staying connected to the shop floor
- Experience in small-to-mid-size fabrication businesses preferred
- ERP exposure (JobBOSS or similar) preferred
- Background managing repeat fabrication products or assemblies is a plus
Why This Role Stands Out:
- High visibility and direct access to ownership
- Opportunity to own projects from quote through completion
- Blend of technical, customer-facing, and production-facing work
- Strong mentorship from a 26-year tenured industry expert
- Stable company with decades of repeat customers and consistent work
Who This Fits Best:
- Project Managers or Detailers from steel fabrication / plate shop environments
- Estimators with strong technical + shop knowledge crossover
- Individuals who enjoy balancing office work with shop floor engagement
- Hands-on professionals who value accountability, ownership, and problem-solving
