PVC and PE pipe manufacturer with 17 U.S. plants modernizing operations and data infrastructure
JM Eagle manufactures plastic pipe across utility, waterworks, plumbing, electrical conduit, and irrigation applications from 17 plants and 2 distribution centers. The hiring and project mix reveals a company in heavy operational transformation: active workstreams span plant expansions, new ERP implementation (moving to cloud-based systems), and AI-ready data foundation modernization—while simultaneously tackling production downtime and supply-chain challenges. Manufacturing and sales dominate hiring, but the data modernization push suggests internal IT/engineering capacity constraints.
