Experience: This person needs at least 5 years of project management experience. Location: Raleigh or Orlando Schedule: Must be able to be in office 2-3 days/week. There is a possibility for someone remote, but they'd have to be "perfect" with 10-15 years of identical experience Pay: $50/hr-$58/hr Travel: "Very little". Will likely need to travel to manufacturing plant/factory once/year. INT Process: First is an informal phone call with Thomas to feel someone out and let them get over their interview jitters. The second is the only "official" interview with him and the team.
Will be working with "smaller" transformers - distribution transformers.
Going to be doing a lot of client interfacing. 90% of a project is working with their production facilities as Siemens does not manufacture transformers. 10% of the project is delivery to their client. These transformers are built outside of the US - Columbia and Mexico for a lot of them. Once they are delivered stateside, they become Siemens' property, and they handle everything from delivery to the client through warranty. If anything goes wrong, the client comes to Siemens, and it is this PM's responsibility to handle it.
This is not an engineering or technical position whatsoever. Not the kind of background we need. Could have an engineering background, but it is pure project management. May have up to 100-200 projects at a time! So, someone that knows how to handle multiple, small tasks at once, is needed. Organization will be a huge part of this job and something that makes the others in the group successful.
Spanish-speaking is only a plus, since many of the manufacturing plants are in Spanish-speaking countries. but not a requirement. A Snapshot of Your Day
