Project Manager with experience in machine integration and SCADA systems

Role Summary The Project Manager oversees end-to-end delivery of software and industrial system implementation projects, ensuring that solutions are deployed successfully, integrated with operational environments, adopted by users, and aligned with business objectives. This role manages the full project lifecycle —from scoping, planning, and vendor coordination to configuration, integration, testing, deployment, and stabilization —with a strong focus on enterprise systems and shopfloor/OT integration (e.g., SCADA, machine connectivity, and manufacturing systems).The PM is responsible for ensuring quality execution, secure and scalable system design, clear communication, and measurable business outcomes

Key Responsibilities: 1. Project Planning & Delivery Management • Lead full lifecycle software and industrial system implementation projects, including requirements confirmation, solution design validation, configuration, integration, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support. • Develop project plans, timelines, scope, and deliverables based on business and operational needs, including phased rollout for machine connectivity. • Monitor progress, manage risks, resolve issues, and ensure alignment to schedule, budget, and operational constraints. 2. Software & Industrial System Implementation Leadership • Manage implementation of enterprise and industrial systems such as ERP modules, MES, SCADA, workflow automation, CRM, analytics platforms, and custom manufacturing solutions. • Oversee SCADA and OT system implementation, including: • OT servers and workstations setup • High availability design • System integration and interfaces • Access control and cybersecurity compliance • Ensure alignment between IT systems and shopfloor operations through effective system architecture and integration planning. • Ensure technical and functional requirements are translated accurately into scalable and secure system solutions

3. Machine Connectivity & Data Integration • Drive machine data connectivity initiatives, ensuring integration between shopfloor equipment and enterprise platforms. • Define and manage phased implementation approach for machine onboarding and data availability. • Coordinate integration design covering APIs, data flows, interfaces, and interoperability across IT and OT systems. • Support initiatives related to industrial data capture, monitoring, and analytics readiness 4. Cross-Functional Coordination • Collaborate with Business stakeholders, Manufacturing/Operations teams, IT, Data, QA, Infrastructure, and external partners. • Facilitate workshops, requirement reviews, system design discussions, and UAT sessions, including OT/production stakeholders. • Align all teams on dependencies, production constraints, operational impacts, and release plans. 5. Vendor & Partner Management • Manage system integrators, SCADA vendors, industrial solution providers, and consultants. • Track deliverables, SLAs, support agreements (SA), and contract obligations. • Review technical designs and validate vendor-proposed solutions, ensuring compliance with enterprise architecture and cybersecurity standards. 6. Testing, Deployment & Change Management • Oversee test planning, execution, defect resolution, and acceptance sign-off across both IT and OT environments. • Manage cutover planning, system migration, production readiness, and go-live activities with minimal disruption to operations. • Support change management, user training, and adoption activities, especially for shopfloor users and operational teams.
