Job Description

Project Manager – Custom Fabrication & CAD Design

Location: Manchester, Iowa | In-Office

Our client, a local mobile storage service that provides full fabrication solutions tailored to customers’ needs — including customized shipping containers, mobile offices, and modular structures serving customers across the Midwest and beyond — is seeking a technically skilled Project Manager with CAD experience.

This role sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and fabrication . You will partner closely with Sales to translate customer concepts into buildable plans and manage custom projects from initial feasibility through shop production and delivery.

Each day brings new challenges and opportunities, making this position ideal for someone who loves problem-solving, cross-team coordination, and hands-on involvement in the build process.

This is not a purely desk-based role — you’ll spend time in the fabrication shop, reviewing drawings with production leads, ensuring projects are buildable, accurate, and delivered on schedule.

KSI’s Talent Acquisition Team partners with companies to assist with their hiring needs. All positions are direct-to-hire opportunities with the employer.
