Role Description

Form Energy is hiring a Staff Project Manager to be the driving force behind our Core equipment engineering projects. This is a pivotal role where you will transform technical blueprints into reality, owning the entire project lifecycle from initial intake and scope definition to strategic purchasing and on-time delivery. If you are a fluent communicator across disciplines and thrive on influencing process compliance to meet aggressive timelines, you are the project leader we need to bring our next generation of core equipment to life.

This opportunity is based out of Form Factory 1 – Form Energy’s 550,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in Weirton, WV, a commutable distance from Pittsburgh. Purpose-built for high-volume, advanced battery production, Form Factory 1 is a hub of fast-moving, collaborative work driving a new era of large-scale American energy manufacturing in the heart of the Rust Belt.

Relocation assistance is available.

What you'll do:

• Own the Project Intake process: vetting requests, defining scope, and aligning stakeholder expectations.

• Enforce compliance with the Product Development Process (PDP), ensuring all design reviews and safety gates are met.

• Support the engineering team in strategic purchasing—managing long-lead items and vendor relationships to keep the build on schedule.

• Translate technical milestones into clear executive updates, managing the budget and timeline.

What you'll bring:

• Experience in a "Design-Build" environment rather than just software PM-ing.

• High proficiency in project management systems and project management software (Jira, Smartsheet, or MS Project).

• The ability to speak "Engineer," "Technician," and "Executive" fluently.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering.
