Project Manager – Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering & EPC Projects
Westminster, CO | Hybrid | $105,000-$140,000 + Quarterly Bonus
Lead Projects That Go Beyond the Typical PM Role
At Matrix Technologies, our Project Managers do more than track schedules and budgets. They lead complex industrial engineering, automation, and EPC projects from planning through execution, working directly with clients and multidisciplinary engineering teams to turn challenging projects into successful outcomes.
We're looking for an experienced Project Manager who understands the industrial engineering environment and enjoys owning the big picture: scope, schedule, budget, risk, client relationships, and team performance.
You'll work with teams that can include process, mechanical, electrical, controls and automation, civil, structural, architectural, construction, and procurement professionals. Projects may range from focused engineering or systems integration work to large multidisciplinary and EPC engagements.
And because Matrix is 100% employee-owned, you're not just responsible for project success. You share in the company's success.
What You'll Work On
No two projects at Matrix are exactly alike.
Depending on the client and assignment, you may lead:
- Industrial facility expansions and modernization
- Manufacturing process improvements
- Automation and controls implementations
- Capital equipment installations
- Multidiscipline engineering and design projects
- EPC projects
- Systems integration projects
- Construction and facility improvement projects
You'll partner with engineering, design, construction, procurement, accounting, subcontractor, and client teams to deliver projects that improve industrial operations and facilities.
What You'll Do
Own the Project
You'll take responsibility for successful project execution from kickoff through completion, including:
- Scope, schedule, and budget
- Project execution planning
- Forecasting and financial performance
- Resource planning
- Risk identification and mitigation
- Change management
- Contract requirements
- Project documentation
- Procurement and subcontract coordination
Lead Multidisciplinary Teams
You'll bring together the people needed to successfully execute each project, coordinating across engineering, automation, construction, and other technical disciplines.
You'll work closely with department and resource managers to ensure projects have the right expertise at the right time.
Build Strong Client Relationships
You'll serve as a key point of contact for clients, keeping communication clear, addressing challenges early, and building the trust that leads to long-term partnerships and repeat business.
This part of the opportunity matters at Matrix. More than 85% of the company's work comes from repeat clients, according to Matrix's current job-posting template.
Manage the Business Side of Projects
You'll also have visibility into the commercial side of project delivery, including:
- Project budgets and forecasts
- Billing and financial performance
- Procurement
- Subcontracts
- Change orders
- Accounts receivable support when needed
- Project profitability
For EPC projects, you'll also provide oversight and coordination of construction activities.
Help Matrix Grow
Strong Project Managers build strong client relationships.
You'll look beyond the current assignment to understand clients' businesses, identify additional ways Matrix can help, and support opportunities for repeat and future work.

Qualifications
- Experience managing industrial engineering, automation, construction, systems integration, or EPC projects
- Demonstrated responsibility for project scope, schedule, budget, and financial performance

Engineering Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a engineering manager in Colorado?
Most engineering managers in Colorado move into the role from a senior individual contributor position after building credibility as a technical lead. A bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field is the standard baseline, and many roles prefer a master's degree or MBA for broader leadership responsibilities. Colorado does not require a state-issued management license, but engineers who carry a Professional Engineer credential through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors often have an edge in regulated industries like aerospace and civil infrastructure.
Which companies hire engineering managers in Colorado?
Employers hiring engineering managers in Colorado right now include Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems USA, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Colorado's concentration of aerospace contractors, defense primes, and enterprise software companies means demand is spread across both established corporations and growth-stage technology firms.
Which Colorado cities have the most engineering manager jobs?
Denver, Littleton, and Boulder account for the largest share of engineering manager openings in Colorado. Denver drives volume through its dense cluster of corporate headquarters and technology employers, Boulder's concentration of research institutions and software companies sustains a strong market for technical leadership, and Colorado Springs benefits from its proximity to major defense installations and aerospace contractors that consistently hire at the management level.
Are there remote engineering manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than many engineering disciplines, because engineering management involves coordination, planning, and communication that translates well to distributed settings. About 77% of engineering manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how common flexible arrangements have become for leadership roles in software and systems. Roles overseeing hardware development or on-site manufacturing teams tend to require more in-person presence than those leading software or cloud infrastructure groups.
How can I get hired as a engineering manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is stepping into a team lead or technical lead role first, which gives you direct reports or project ownership without the full management title. Large Colorado employers like Lockheed Martin, Oracle, and Ball Corporation run rotational or associate programs that move high-performing engineers into leadership tracks. Moving from a senior engineer, staff engineer, or technical program manager role is the most common lateral path. A Professional Engineer license through the Colorado State Board of Licensure or a project management credential strengthens a first-time manager's application in regulated sectors.
Where can I find and apply to engineering manager jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to engineering manager jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
