A Shreveport structural steel manufacturing and fabrication facility is seeking an experienced Structural Steel Project Manager to oversee projects from estimating and approved drawings through fabrication, shipping, and completion.

This is primarily an in-house project management position supporting new construction projects. The Project Manager will coordinate estimating, materials, purchasing, production schedules, fabrication, shipping, and steel erection requirements to keep projects moving from blueprint to finished product.

• Review and interpret construction, structural, erection, and fabrication drawings

• Assist with project estimating and cost calculations

• Take ownership of awarded projects from approved drawings through fabrication and delivery

• Review projects with consideration for field erection sequence, connections, constructability, and installation requirements

• Coordinate fabrication schedules with project and steel erection timelines

• Determine material requirements for upcoming fabrication projects

• Coordinate purchasing and procurement of structural steel and other required materials

• Create and track purchase orders and communicate with vendors

• Monitor material availability and lead times to prevent production delays

• Coordinate internally with drafting/detailing, fabrication, production, purchasing, shipping, and receiving

• Establish and monitor project timelines and production priorities

• Track fabrication progress against project deadlines

• Identify drawing, material, fabrication, scheduling, or erection-related issues and coordinate solutions

• Ensure fabricated components are produced and shipped in the proper sequence to support field installation

• Coordinate shipping and delivery requirements for completed structural steel

• Maintain accurate project information using Excel and company ERP systems

• Communicate with customers, contractors, and other project stakeholders as needed

• Previous structural steel, steel fabrication, or steel erection experience required

• Strong knowledge of the structural steel fabrication and erection process

• Strong ability to read and interpret structural, fabrication, and erection drawings

• Understanding of structural steel materials, connections, fabrication processes, and terminology

• Understanding of how fabricated structural steel is sequenced, shipped, and erected in the field

• Experience with project coordination or project management in structural steel fabrication, erection, manufacturing, or commercial construction

• Estimating experience strongly preferred

• Purchasing, procurement, or material planning experience preferred

• Experience coordinating production schedules and project deadlines

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel

• Previous ERP or manufacturing software experience preferred

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple active projects

The ideal candidate understands the complete structural steel processfrom construction drawings and estimating through detailing, procurement, fabrication, shipping, and erection.

This person should be able to look beyond simply getting steel through the shop and understand how fabrication decisions, production schedules, shipping sequence, and component organization affect the erection process once material reaches the job site.

This is primarily an in-house position at the Shreveport manufacturing facility, rather than a field superintendent or onsite erection position. However, previous experience working with structural steel erection is highly valuable because the Project Manager must understand how the material being fabricated will ultimately be assembled and installed in the field.

You should be proficient in:

• Project Management
• Industrial Construction
• stuctural steel
