Your role

We are looking for a Project Manager based in the U.S. who will take ownership of automation projects from A to Z. This is a hybrid role where you’ll manage the full project lifecycle while also being actively involved in the technical execution. You will bridge the gap between planning and implementation—leading teams, collaborating with customers, and working alongside engineers and technicians.

You will report directly to the Project Operations Manager, who is based in our headquarters in Heverlee.

Project Management Responsibilities:

• Manage the full scope of automation projects: planning, budgeting, scheduling, risk management, execution, and reporting.

• Ensure all deliverables meet contractual obligations, quality standards, and HSE requirements.

• Coordinate and lead a multidisciplinary team (engineers, technicians, software developers).

• Serve as the main point of contact for U.S.-based customers, facilitating site visits, meetings, and progress reviews.

• Collaborate with local subcontractors and stakeholders to ensure smooth execution.

• Collaborate with Camco’s PMO at HQ.

Engineering Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the creation of technical documentation (mechanical, electrical, IT, hardware integration, safety).

• Participate in on-site design workshops and installation planning.

• Oversee on-site installation and commissioning of our automation systems.

• Provide hands-on support during go-live and troubleshooting phases.

• Maintain and expand your knowledge of our technology and automation solutions.

Your profile

• Education: Master’s degree in Electromechanical, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).

• Experience:

  • Minimum 5 years in project management or a combined project engineering/project management role.

  • Solid experience with electromechanical systems; exposure to industrial automation or terminal automation is a plus.

• Skills:

  • Able to switch between strategic oversight and hands-on technical execution.

  • Proficiency with tools like AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, EPLAN, or similar is a plus.

  • Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills.

• Languages: Fluent in English (spoken and written). Spanish is a plus.

• Travel: Willingness to travel within the U.S. (up to 30%) and occasionally to Europe for onboarding and team coordination.

Offer

• A versatile and impactful role in a fast-growing, high-tech company with over 200 employees.

• The chance to lead cutting-edge automation projects across the U.S.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Opportunities for career growth and international collaboration.

• A supportive and innovative work environment where your technical and managerial skills are equally valued.

• Flexibility through hybrid work arrangements.
