Job Description

Are you a proactive, detail-driven leader who thrives on bringing complex projects to life? At Dekko, we’re looking for a Project Manager to lead cross-functional initiatives that drive innovation, productivity, and growth within our dynamic production manufacturing environment.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll take ownership of projects from concept through completion - ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality expectations are consistently met. You’ll be the connector between teams, vendors, and stakeholders, ensuring everyone moves in sync while championing our core values of Unity, Passion, Customer Focus, Accountability, and Integrity.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop and execute clear, actionable project plans with defined scopes, timelines, budgets, and resource allocations.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams and external vendors to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.
  • Drive project milestones, monitor progress, and adapt quickly to changing priorities or obstacles.
  • Identify, assess, and manage project risks—developing mitigation plans before they become roadblocks.
  • Facilitate project meetings, status updates, and executive briefings to ensure alignment and transparency.
  • Oversee change management across scope, budget, or timelines with an eye toward long-term project success.
  • Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and customers - aligning project goals with broader business objectives.
  • Conduct post-project reviews to capture lessons learned and identify continuous improvement opportunities.
  • Maintain rigorous project documentation and reporting to support compliance, communication, and performance analysis.
  • Uphold and reinforce safety best practices throughout every phase of the project lifecycle.

What You’ll Need:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, Operations Management, or a related field.
  • 3–5+ years of project management experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
  • PMP certification preferred, or equivalent experience with formal project management frameworks.
  • Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Asana, Trello, Jira).
  • Strong grasp of project life cycles, resource planning, and budget control.
  • Exceptional leadership, organizational, and time-management skills.
  • Proven ability to influence without authority and lead cross-functional teams toward shared outcomes.
  • Excellent communicator who can tailor messaging to technicians, vendors, and executives alike.
  • Resilient problem solver—calm under pressure, agile in uncertainty

What We’ll Give You:

A competitive compensation package. Quality medical benefits, including a company funded Pension, 401K plan, health & wellness perks and so much more!

Ready to build what’s next?
