Project Manager Commercial Solutions Division

Job description

**Job Description:**

**This is not your typical Project Manager role.

If you're looking for a position where you can quietly manage timelines and push paper, this isn't it.**

The Commercial Solutions Division of Miller Electric, an ITW Company, is actively seeking a high-impact leader - someone who brings a rare blend of technical breadth, business acumen, and the interpersonal finesse to drive clarity and momentum across complex, cross-functional initiatives.

+ Challenge assumptions with confidence.
+ Leverage instincts to identify issues and respond before they surface.

**What you need to be successful in this role:**

+ **Strong business acumen** – Appreciation for manufacturing, logistics, finance, and regulatory-heavy environments gives you the foundation to synthesize input from all sides and guide the team toward smart, timely decisions.

+ **Roll up your sleeves attitude** – If you know your way around a welding torch, woodworking bench, engine bay, or home renovation project, you’ll feel right at home.

Experience with PCB manufacturing and/or manufacturing engineering is a plus.
+ **Strategic mindset** – Anticipate future trends, while translating those insights into actionable strategy.
+ **Customer focus** – A passion to facilitate identifying customer needs and ensuring solutions align with what customers truly value.

+ **Excellent communication skills** – The ability to effectively communicate and connect with individuals at all levels of the organization.

**Minimum education and experience:**
