We are an international manufacturing firm with factories scattered across the United States. Over the next five years or so we are going to be rolling out SAP to all of these factories. The Project manaer role is responsible for overall day-to-day control of the project and of the services delivered by the service delivery managers. The role will require substantial travel as you will go to the factories as we implement our SAP solutions and be the onsite project manager. The next project rollout is going to be in Texas and then onward to other factories primarily in the South East and Mid West. Ideally this role would be based out of our Pittsburgh office, but for the right person, this role could be remote, with the understanding that you would need to spend some time in Pittsburgh, when you are not working remotely of leading an implementation.
