Manufacturing Project Manager (Aerospace)
$90,000 - $110,000 + Quarterly Bonus + PMP Training + Technical Development + High-Ownership Projects + Medical, Dental, Vision + 401(k) Match + PTO
Indianapolis, IN
Are you a Mechanical Engineer from an aerospace manufacturing background looking for a highly technical role where you’ll own complex, first-run hardware projects from quote through delivery?
On offer is a permanent position with a well-established aerospace and defense manufacturer, where you’ll be supported with development opportunities including PMP training and mentoring, while taking ownership of high-stakes projects from day one.
This company is known for solving difficult, precision manufacturing challenges for large OEM customers, with a modern shop floor and a strong reputation for quality. Due to continued growth, a major increase in manufacturing backlog, and an ongoing facility expansion, they are now looking to add to their specialist team.
In this role you will manage a portfolio of projects, coordinating across engineering, the shop floor, purchasing and vendors. You’ll translate specs and drawings into manufacturable plans, order materials/tooling, track progress through ERP, and provide proactive customer updates while escalating and solving issues before they impact delivery.
This role would suit a Mechanical Engineer or Manufacturing Project Manager who wants more technical ownership, structured development, and the chance to deliver one-off aerospace builds to exacting standards.
The Role:
- Lead one-time / first-run aerospace manufacturing projects from quote through delivery
- Coordinate engineering, shop floor, purchasing/vendors and customer communication
- Translate drawings into manufacturable plans and detailed work instructions
- Track materials, tooling and schedules, escalating risks and solving problems
- Mon–Fri 1st shift, with flexible start times available
The Person:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar
- Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience preferred
- Project Engineering / Manufacturing Engineering experience ideal
- Strong mechanical aptitude; able to read drawings and communicate across technical and customer teams
