Technical PM / Senior Technical PM — IT/OT Operations

Summary

4IR Solutions helps industrial companies manage OT compute infrastructure and is seeking a Senior Technical PM to oversee project management and engineering capacity. The role requires strong communication and project management skills to ensure clarity in customer projects and internal processes, balancing priorities effectively within a small team.

Responsibilities

• Customer project clarity — scope, timeline, and budget for every active deployment project (typically 2–3 simultaneously)
• The forward view — when current projects finish and when we can confidently commit the next one
• Engineering capacity — an honest, visible picture of what the team can take on
• A refined internal backlog — prioritized and requirements-ready the moment capacity frees up
• Work with customers and 4IR engineers to clarify scope and estimate effort for infrastructure deployment projects
• Host regular status calls with industrial stakeholders, from plant floor to corporate IT/OT leadership
• Produce visual milestone plans and keep them truthful; manage scope creep deliberately — surfaced, decided, and communicated, never absorbed silently
• Run projects so there are no surprises for customers and no surprises for the team
• Translate the CTO and Architect's roadmap into organized epics and well-defined tasks spanning new features, CI/CD pipelines, IaC/GitOps, and security enhancements
• Run a lightweight agile cadence — enough structure for clarity, not so much it creates drag
• Balance the backlog across tech-debt burndown, productivity investments, and new features
• Priority physics: support calls first, customer projects second, backlog third — make sure the queue never goes stale and the next most important thing is always ready to pull

Skills

• OT/industrial PM credibility — you've sat across from plant managers and controls engineers and they took you seriously
• You're the bridge between modern project approaches and industrial customer expectations, able to manage internally with flexibility and adaptability while communicating with customers using traditional delivery planning methods
• Strong communication and a systems integrator Project Manager background are table stakes
• Must be available for at least 4 hours of overlap with standard U.S. Central Time business hours (9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.)
• At the senior level, add: 7+ years of experience and IT fluency alongside your OT depth — you can hold your own in engineering discussions about cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and IaC, and write requirements engineers respect
• SCADA/HMI experience (Ignition is a big one)
• Kubernetes, Azure, or IaC/GitOps familiarity
• MSP or managed services background
• Commercial awareness of how delivery dynamics affect business outcomes
• CSPO or similar certification
