At Keiser Corporation, we are changing the world of fitness. For over four decades, Keiser, a leading manufacturer of exercise equipment, has been changing how people of diverse ages and abilities exercise while helping to improve their performance and quality of life.

We are currently looking for an experienced Engineering Project Manager to use their expertise to plan, direct and coordinate the development of new products and designs. Responsibilities include leading the research and development stage of projects, creating detailed project plans, and proposing budgets, staffing, and equipment needs. A leadership style that is firm and goal-oriented, and yet motivates, trains, and enthusiastically engages others is important.

The focus of this job is on achieving results that are aligned with the larger picture of the organization and its strategic goals. Initiative, coupled with a sense of competitive drive, and the ability to stay focused on results despite changing conditions, is the key to achieving the performance objectives of this job. Because environmental and organizational conditions change rapidly, the work involves innovation and creativity in generating ideas for quick response. Decision-making is focused on implementing practical, timely solutions. The job requires getting things done quickly and handling a variety of activities. Self-assurance and the confidence to purposely drive toward results while constantly problem-solving and engaging the commitment of others is essential.

Because the pace of the work is faster than average, the ability to learn quickly and thoroughly while continually recognizing and adapting to changing conditions is critical. The scope of the job may require effective delegation to proven people. Routine and repetitive details should be delegated with responsibility for follow-up and accountability for timely results. The job requires the ability to act independently, with a sense of urgency and the confidence to handle a variety of challenges. A full commitment to the success of the business and high standards of achievement are expected in this position. The emphasis is on results and effective systems that achieve results through and with people, rather than on the details of implementation.

More than 80% of the top professional sports teams in the world now train on Keiser machines, including every baseball team in the majors, the soccer champions of nine countries, several American football champions, and countless Olympians. From elite testing equipment to strength and stretching machines, we offer it all. Come be a part of our team!
