Project Manager – Custom Industrial Fabrication (Burleson, TX)
About iSC Manufacturing
iSC has built heavy industrial equipment in North Texas since 1976. We engineer and fabricate screw conveyors, mixers, bucket elevators, silos, chutes and large custom weldments for bulk material handling. Our customers run mines, plants and major EPC construction programs. Every job is engineered or made to order, and no two are the same.
We're building out a dedicated project management team, and this is a ground-floor role. You'll help shape how projects are run at iSC.
