Portfolio: Allen‑Sherman‑Hoff (ASH) Engineered Material‑Handling Systems (ANDRITZ)
About the Role
Allen‑Sherman‑Hoff (ASH), an ANDRITZ business, delivers engineered material‑handling systems that support power generation, biomass, and pulp & paper facilities operating in demanding, continuous‑run environments. Although ASH is technically an OEM, we operate far more like an A&E/EPC engineering firm: we deliver system‑level engineered solutions, integrating ASH proprietary equipment with structural, mechanical, electrical, and quality requirements to meet strict performance expectations.
We are seeking a Project Manager with power, energy, utilities, or EPC/A&E engineered‑systems project experience, someone who has led large, customer‑facing technical projects through engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, quality, and site support.
If your background is in internal manufacturing operations, IT/telecom deployments, or continuous improvement, this role is not a match. We need a PM who understands industrial plant environments, engineered equipment, and the rigor of technical project delivery.
What You Will Do
Lead Full Lifecycle Execution (Sales Handover → Final Turnover)
- Own the delivery of engineered ASH material‑handling systems across power, biomass, and pulp & paper facilities.
- Drive engineering, drafting, and calculation packages to meet scope, schedule, and contractual requirements.
- Coordinate and unblock fabrication/manufacturing, ensuring manufacturability and compliance.
- Manage supplier RFQs, subcontractor performance, expediting, and logistics.
Quality & Technical Documentation Leadership
- Manage ITPs, weld maps, NDE requirements, pressure tests, dimensional checks, and documentation packages essential to engineered‑equipment delivery.
- Validate compliance to ASME/AWS, customer specifications, and ASH quality standards.
Schedule, Cost, and Risk Management
- Maintain schedule baselines using Primavera P6.
- Oversee cost performance, margin drivers, change control, and contract compliance.
- Identify and mitigate technical and execution risks early.
Customer‑Facing Project Leadership
- Serve as the primary interface between the customer and ANDRITZ technical teams.
- Prepare and deliver technical and commercial progress reports.
- Support site activities (FAT, readiness reviews, installation coordination, commissioning support).
What You Bring
Required
- Experience in A&E/EPC, power generation, utilities, or industrial engineered‑systems delivery.
- (Examples: material handling, conveying systems, rotating equipment, mechanical process systems, boiler/balance‑of‑plant equipment).
- Proven ability to lead engineering‑heavy, customer‑facing projects with strict contractual and QA requirements.
- Hands‑on coordination with engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and field service.
- Experience managing ITPs, weld maps, NDE, pressure tests, QA documentation, and technical turnover packages.
- Proficiency in Primavera P6 and Oracle or similar ERP.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Construction Management OR 5+ years of relevant engineered‑systems PM experience.
Preferred
- Power plant, utilities, biomass, or pulp & paper industry experience.
- Background in ash handling, bulk material handling, or mechanical systems integration.
- PMP or CAPM certification.
- Experience with retrofit, outage, upgrade, or brownfield scopes.
Work Model
- Remote with periodic travel to Exton, PA, fabrication shops, and customer facilities for inspections, FATs, readiness reviews, and site support.
- Travel expected but varies by project phase.
Why This Role Matters
Your work directly affects the reliability, uptime, and environmental performance of major industrial facilities. When you execute well, a power plant runs cleaner, a pulp mill avoids downtime, and a customer sees ASH as a trusted engineering partner. This is real engineering impact, not back‑office project tracking.

Position description
Position Overview
The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Area Weed Science Advisor at the Assistant rank serving Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties.
The Weed Science Advisor will implement an innovative multi-county extension education and applied research program to address weed management challenges in the three-county region, including alternatives to glyphosate, the effectiveness of organic weed control methods, herbicide resistance, air and water quality issues related to weed control practices, and the control of invasive weed species.
UCCE Advisors are responsible for conducting applied research and extending knowledge. Research activities are applied and mission-oriented, focused on addressing challenges in our communities. Extension activities are the educational methods that advisors use to share research results directly with clientele and communities, increasing knowledge and understanding of science-based research that promotes the adoption of practices and technologies to solve local problems. Extension activities may include individual farm consultations, presentations, or organizing educational workshops, short courses, and field demonstrations. Information may also be disseminated through various channels, such as radio, webinars, fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs, social media, and other outlets. Publications are expected in various formats, including newsletters, popular press articles, curricula, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed journals.
Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding, and eventual adoption of new skills or practices, changed attitudes or policies, and improved environmental, economic, or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: 1) extending knowledge, 2) applied research and creative activity, 3) professional competence and activity, and 4) university and public service.
Location Headquarters: This position will be based at the UC Cooperative Extension Office in Sonoma County, located at 133 Aviation Blvd., Santa Rosa, California 95403.
Position Details
Weeds are a critical challenge to the regional productivity of agriculture, pasture, and rangelands, and are responsible for significant production losses, management costs, and labor requirements each year. Growers, ranchers, dairy producers, pest control advisors, and the UC Cooperative Extension network need an Area Weed Science Advisor to provide locally relevant expertise to address production efficiency, crop safety, livestock forage, and environmental issues related to sustainable weed management in the region.
