Crusoe Project Manager II at Crusoe managing manufacturing execution for custom low-voltage switchboard programs. Owns full production path from customer submittal approval through shipment across concurrent orders.
Responsibilities
Join our team as a Project Manager II and take ownership of manufacturing execution for custom low-voltage switchboard programs — the highest-volume, highest-throughput line in our Power Distribution sector. These are UL 891 listed, Engineered to Order assemblies built to hyperscale customer standards, with tight delivery windows and unforgiving long-lead component exposure.
This role is about throughput and material discipline. Switchboard programs live or die on breaker and bus availability, drawing approval turnaround, and clean work packet release to the assembly line. You'll own the full production path from customer submittal approval through factory acceptance testing and shipment, across a portfolio of concurrent orders.
You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with production supervisors, test technicians, and the materials team on the floor every day. Your work directly impacts our ability to energize compute from sustainable, renewable and/or stranded energy sources.
We are seeking an experienced professional with a proven background in electrical equipment or industrial manufacturing, a strategic mindset, and the persistence to drive submittal cycles and supplier commitments to closure. This is a full-time position.
What You’ll Be Working On:
Switchboard Manufacturing Execution: Own assigned switchboard orders end to end — submittal approval, engineering release, material readiness, assembly, wiring, test, and shipment.
Submittal and Approval Cycle Ownership: Drive the customer submittal and drawing approval cycle to closure. This is the single most common source of schedule loss in electrical equipment and must be actively managed, not passively tracked.
Long-Lead Material Management: Manage exposure on breakers, bus, metering, instrument transformers, and enclosures with Supply Chain against firm production start dates.
Project Planning and Execution: Maintain the production schedule at work-order level in alignment with assembly line loading and plant capacity.
Strategic Change & Risk Management: Process engineering changes and customer-driven revisions through impact analysis, pricing, and approval before floor implementation; ensure BOM and routing updates follow. Maintain risk logs, action logs, RFIs, submittals and change orders.
Quality and Test Coordination: Partner with Quality leaders to ensure the Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is executed on time and to the applicable standards and specifications, including production testing, non-conformance closure, and customer witness testing where required.
Budget Reporting and Forecasting: Manage order cost performance — labor hours against estimate, material variance, and change order capture — and report against baseline. You own the accuracy of your order cost model, maintain it to the PMO reporting standard and cadence, and sign the monthly cost-to-complete position that feeds the program economics review.
