Project Manager - Intralogistics & Automation Systems

Project Manager - Intralogistics & Automation Systems Lead major warehouse automation projects from kickoff to commissioning - shaping smarter operations, guiding teams, and owning commercial success in a flexible, growing workplace. Be yourself, in your element. Warehouses are getting smarter, faster, and more automated - and someone has to lead that transformation on the ground. If you've spent your career keeping complex automation, material handling, or system integration projects on time, on budget, and on track, we want to talk to you. At Element Logic, our Project Managers are the glue between engineering, clients, and the physical systems that redefine how warehouses run. As a Project Manager 3, you won't just manage a schedule - you'll own the commercial and technical success of large-scale automation deployments, mentor the next generation of PMs, and help shape how we deliver projects as a company. What you'll do • Lead complex, multi-disciplinary intralogistics and automation projects from kickoff to close • Build and maintain detailed project schedules across engineering, installation, and commissioning phases • Manage a broad and sometimes competing stakeholder landscape - clients, vendors, internal teams, and leadership • Own financial performance: forecasting, budget control, and commercial risk management • Drive change order strategy and contract management with a sharp eye for risk and opportunity • Mentor Project Manager 1s and 2s, and help sharpen our project management practices company-wide • Read and act on engineering drawings and system architecture to keep technical execution on track What you bring • 5–8 years of experience managing technical or industrial projects - ideally in intralogistics, warehouse automation, material handling, or systems integration • A 4-year degree in engineering, business, or a related field • PMP certification strongly preferred • Strong financial acumen: you're as comfortable with a forecast as you are with a Gantt chart • Proven experience managing contracts and change orders • The ability to interpret engineering drawings and understand system architecture - you don't need to design the system, but you need to speak the language • Confidence navigating advanced stakeholder environments and influencing cross-functional teams without formal authority • A risk-anticipation mindset - you see problems before they become expensive • Comfort with Microsoft Office and modern collaboration/scheduling tools; Microsoft Project experience is a plus, not a requirement How we work This role is hybrid while projects are active - you'll be on-site or with your team when it matters most for commissioning, stakeholder alignment, and hands-on problem solving. Between active project phases, it's fully remote. Expect roughly 30% travel on average to client sites and offices, with more during onboarding. What does Element Logic offer?
