JOB PURPOSE As Project Manager
- New Installations & Service, you will plan, execute and deliver equipment projects across both the ABI and MECATHERM product ranges, on time, within scope and budget, from order receipt through to a clean handover into service. You will coordinate cross-functional teams in Canada and at the MECATHERM parent factory, and give customers a single consistent project experience regardless of which company supplied the equipment. The role is installations-led: approximately 70% of your time is spent on new equipment and complete-line projects, and 30% on service and aftersales projects — retrofits, upgrades, rebuilds and line modifications on installed equipment, delivered within short shutdown windows.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Current Installation Projects (primary)
- Manage projects from order receipt through engineering, fabrication, assembly, factory acceptance testing (FAT), shipping, installation and commissioning, applying the Phase Gate Process at each stage
- Develop and maintain detailed project plans and schedules in MS Project or equivalent, covering long-lead procurement, fabrication, shipping, site readiness, installation sequence and commissioning
- Coordinate internal departments — engineering, procurement, production, logistics, installation and commissioning — and the MECATHERM parent-company project and engineering teams in France
- Define, schedule and accept the work of installation contractors, riggers, millwrights and trades on site

- Close out punch lists and deliver a documented handover to Service, including as-built documentation, spare parts lists, training records and confirmed warranty start dates Commercial and Technical Control
- Review contracts,



purchase orders and project scope to identify risks and develop mitigation plans before work begins
- Track committed and forecast cost against the quoted cost base, report variances early and protect project margin
- Identify scope changes as they arise, quantify them and process change orders with Sales and Customer Solutions before the additional work is performed
- Ensure engineering, layout and electrical drawings and technical specifications are properly reviewed and implemented, including utilities, foundations, access and interfaces with adjacent equipment
- Coordinate mechanical, electrical and controls interfaces between ABI equipment, MECATHERM equipment and third-party equipment on mixed lines Service and Aftersales Projects (secondary)
- Manage retrofit, upgrade, rebuild and line-modification projects on installed ABI and MECATHERM equipment, applying the same phase-gate and documentation discipline in a compressed timeframe
- Plan service projects around customer production schedules and planned shutdowns, recognising that the binding constraint is available downtime and that overrun costs the customer production
- Support the Service team on warranty claims and post-commissioning issues traceable to project scope, design or execution, and act as escalation support on equipment within your project history
- Support delivery of service-contract commitments — planned maintenance campaigns,



inspections and parts programmes — where these are run as projects Customer Relationships and Cross-Brand Consistency
- Own the project-level customer relationship, including meetings, factory and site visits, updates and management of requirements through to acceptance
- Provide clear internal and external status reporting against timelines and budgets, escalating slippage early rather than at the gate
- Lead resolution of project issues and risks in pursuit of maintaining schedule and budget, drawing in engineering, service and management as required
- Apply one common project process, documentation set and reporting format across both ABI and MECATHERM equipment, and contribute to shared templates, checklists and lessons learned
- Conduct post-project evaluations and drive the resulting improvement actions to closure Health, Safety and Compliance
- Perform all duties in compliance with company policies, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, customer site rules and applicable safety standards
- Verify contractor documentation before mobilisation, including insurance, WSIB clearance, training records and job hazard analyses, and ensure lockout/tagout, working-at-heights and hot-work requirements are respected
- Ensure equipment meets applicable safety and certification requirements at handover, including guarding, electrical certification or field evaluation, and pre-start health and safety review obligations where these apply MEASURES OF SUCCESS
- Schedule and budget — projects commissioned by the contracted date; actual cost and margin against the quoted cost base; scope changes approved before execution rather than absorbed
- Customer satisfaction and handover quality — acceptance
