Project Manager

The Project Manager is expected to work under minimal supervision to identify and determine the direction of complex chiller projects by managing assigned orders through the order execution, engineering, manufacturing and startup phases. Working in a team environment, the Project Manager will develop and document the plan, ensure adherence, and manage risk factors identified in each contract. The assigned customer orders will have a high degree of complexity or special circumstances when compared to standard products. The projects must be managed according to strict customer and financial requirements. This includes acquiring resources and coordinating the efforts of core, extended and support team members, suppliers, contractors or consultants in order to deliver projects according to plan.

Periodically, the Program Manager will also be tasked with leading change management initiatives for the business. In this function, the Program Manager will be working closely with engineering, manufacturing, and other groups within Johnson Controls to study and implement new business workflows, with the end result being a more streamline ordering and manufacturing process, both internally and externally to JCI.
