Why Central Moloney?
Since 1949, Central Moloney has been an industry leader in transformer manufacturing, built on a foundation of quality, innovation, and stability. As an ISO 9001-certified company, we're investing in the systems and technology that power our next phase of growth — and this role sits right at the center of that work. As an Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) implementation takes shape across our manufacturing operations, you'll have the opportunity to lead a project with real, visible impact on how the business runs, while working alongside a team that values accountability, clear communication, and getting things right.
About the Role
Central Moloney is hiring an experienced ERP Project Manager to lead the implementation of Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) at our large-scale manufacturing facility. This is a high-visibility role for a seasoned project manager who knows how to bring structure to complex, cross-functional initiatives — someone who can manage timelines and scope, hold vendors accountable, and keep engineering, operations, supply chain, finance, and IT moving in the same direction. You'll own the project from planning through go-live and stabilization, building the governance, reporting, and risk management processes that keep a major systems implementation on track.
This role is based onsite in either Pine Bluff or Little Rock, AR; candidates based in Little Rock will travel to Pine Bluff at least once per week, with additional travel as needed.
