Entech Network Solutions
Structural Steel Project Manager
Entech Network Solutions, Phoenix, Arizona, United States, 85003
Company fabricates structural and miscellaneous steel and erects both steel and pre-engineered metal buildings, with pre-construction services (budgeting, design assist, value engineering) and a strong safety-first culture (orientation, weekly toolbox talks, OSHA training, low EMR).
The Opportunity
Own the shop: throughput, quality, people development, and safety. You'll translate project schedules into weld-ready releases, optimize material flow, and keep field crews fed with on-time, right-first-time steel.
What You'll Do
Lead day-to-day operations of the fabrication shop (cutting, fitting, welding, drilling, coping, cambering, finishes) and outbound logistics. Convert PM/Detailing releases into executable shop plans; set takt/sequence; manage labor loading, overtime, and cross-training. Drive QA/QC: WPS/PQR adherence, welder continuity, dimensional checks, traceability, coatings QA, and final inspection packages. Implement and refine visual management and KPIs (OTD, rework %, NCRs, FPY, throughput hours/ton). Oversee preventive maintenance and reliability for key assets (saws, plasma tables, drills, forklifts, cranes). Ensure OSHA compliance and Castle safety standards; lead toolbox talks and corrective actions. Optimize supply chain: plate/shape purchasing, vendor expediting, and inventory accuracy (min/max, cycle counts). Partner with PMs/Detailers/Erection to align priorities and ship sequences to field needs. Recruit, train, coach, and performance-manage shop team members; foster an engaged, "family" culture consistent with Castle's values. What You'll Bring
7-12+ years in steel fabrication with 3-5+ years leading a shop or major cell (structural/misc steel). Solid grasp of AISC fabrication tolerances, WPS, welding processes (SMAW/FCAW/GMAW), and inspection. Proven scheduling, throughput, and ERP/MES experience (e.g., FabSuite/STRUMIS/ShopData or similar). Kaizen/lean fundamentals (5S, standard work, visual management); data-driven mindset. Strong people leadership-coaching, hiring, resolving conflicts, building culture. Nice-to-have: PEMB parts flow, galvanizing/paint specs, forklift/overhead crane certs, OSHA 30. 90-180 Day Outcomes
Stabilize schedule adherence to >95% OTD on priority releases. Reduce rework
Establish capacity model (hours/ton) and a weekly S&OP with PMs.
