Who We Are
Bravo Team is an engineering design and fabrication company in Cornelius, NC, with a mission to bring freedom through innovation. Our 16,500 sq. ft. facility includes a design studio, assembly areas, and advanced fabrication tools.

Your Role
As a Project Manager at Bravo Team, you will take full ownership of engineering project delivery – driving timelines, managing budgets, and making critical decisions to ensure our multidisciplinary teams deliver high-quality, innovative solutions on time and within scope.
This is not a traditional project management role. You must bring a strong technical foundation to credibly collaborate with and guide mechanical, electrical and controls engineers. You will oversee all aspects of project engineering including planning, resource allocation, risk management and client communication. In addition, our Project Management Office (PMO) is newly established and evolving. As such, you must be adaptable to changing processes and ready to help shape the structure and standards of project delivery at Bravo Team.
This position reports to the Director of Project Engineering.
