Inside Sales Coordinator

Project Manager – Plastics Manufacturing

Location: Crystal Lake, IL

Salary: $80,000 – $90,000

We’re partnering with a valued client of ours—a stable, well-established manufacturing company in the plastics space that has built a reputation not just on product quality, but on culture and people. This is an organization where employees tend to stay, leadership is accessible, and teams genuinely support one another.

What makes this opportunity stand out is the combination of stability and growth. The company is experiencing significant expansion in key markets, creating strong project flow and long-term security, while still maintaining a tight-knit, collaborative environment. Management is hands-on and invested, providing the tools, guidance, and support needed to be successful—this is not a sink-or-swim culture.

This role offers strong cross-functional exposure, working closely with engineering, production, and customer-facing teams. If you’re looking for a position where you can own projects end-to-end, develop professionally, and be part of a team that has your back, this is that kind of environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Stable company with a strong, people-first culture
• Supportive leadership that invests in employee success
• High level of team collaboration and cross-functional visibility
• Growth in key markets driving long-term opportunity and project volume

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare quotes, estimates, and proposals, including material and labor cost analysis
• Review customer requirements and develop detailed project scopes aligned with manufacturing capabilities
• Generate and coordinate tooling work orders and project documentation
• Collaborate with engineering, purchasing, production, and quality teams to drive project execution
• Manage project timelines to ensure on-time and on-scope delivery
• Serve as the primary point of contact between internal teams and customers
• Review completed projects and gather feedback for continuous improvement and quoting accuracy
• Maintain accurate documentation, drawings, and specifications throughout the project lifecycle

Qualifications:

• Experience in manufacturing, tooling, machining, or fabrication environments
• Strong project management and organizational skills
