We are looking for a talented Project Assistant - Level III to join our team specializing in Engineering at our facility in Stoughton, WI, US.

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

• Keep projects organized and moving by handling scheduling, documentation, and logistics so the project manager and team can stay focused on higher-level decisions.

• Take ownership of small, well-defined project tasks and deliver them reliably, building trust and freeing up bandwidth for the broader team.

• Improve team efficiency by maintaining clear, up-to-date project records, timelines, and status reports that reduce confusion and miscommunication.

• Act as a communication bridge-ensuring stakeholders stay informed, aligned, and aware of progress, risks, and next steps.

• Identify and track issues early, coordinate with teammates to resolve them, and gradually build the judgment to handle these independently.

• Strengthen project outcomes by supporting budget tracking, research, and data analysis that inform smarter decisions.

• Contribute to risk management by helping flag potential problems and applying basic quality tools to prevent delays or rework.

• Capture and share lessons learned, helping the team continuously improve processes and deliver better results over time.

To be successful, you will need to consistently demonstrate the following:

• Communicate clearly and intentionally-tailor your updates and messages so different audiences (project manager, teammates, stakeholders) each get what they need without confusion or overload.

• Stay focused on the "customer," whether that's an external client or internal stakeholder, by understanding their needs and making sure your work supports useful, practical outcomes.

• Get comfortable working through complexity-projects won't always be clean or logical, so your ability to organize messy information into clear next steps will make you valuable.

• Handle conflict calmly and constructively by focusing on solutions, not personalities, and helping keep conversations productive.

• Be disciplined about planning and prioritization so your tasks-and the pieces of the project you support-stay aligned with deadlines and larger business goals.

• Show resourcefulness by figuring things out, finding the right people or tools quickly, and making progress even when you don't have perfect direction.

• Build strong fundamentals in project execution: track risks and issues, manage timelines, support scope clarity, and help monitor budget/resources so nothing slips through the cracks.

• Value different perspectives and collaborate well-projects run better when you actively include input from others and adapt your approach based on what the team needs.
