About the Position

Metal Arts, LLC is seeking a Project Manager for the Structural Steel industry. Metal Arts is looking for leaders in our industry, who want to make an impact on a growing small business.

Project managers at Metal Arts, LLC in Wichita, Kansas, are the heart of the company. Our project managers own each project from the award of the project to the final billing. Owning nearly the entire project lifecycle requires an extensive range of skills and experience in structural and miscellaneous steel, making project managers the Swiss army knife of our team. Typically, new project managers will possess the basic skills to get started, and Metal Arts will provide training and tools to become a well-rounded project manager.

Project Managers must have experience managing structural projects or commercial construction projects to be hired as a Project Manager.

Project Managers will be provided a short training period before managing projects of their own. Many of these duties will be learned through on the job training. Metal Arts does not expect candidates to possess all of these skills prior to starting their position.

This is an in-person position only, located at our Wichita, Kansas facility.
