About The Position

C-P Systems is a well-established privately-held engineering consulting firm specializing in chemical engineering and design. With three decades of experience, we've cultivated strong partnerships with industrial manufacturing facilities including Fortune 500 companies.

Our team brings together deep industry experience and process engineering knowledge to deliver clear, detailed, and accurate engineering and design documentation. We've built our reputation on quality work, transparency, and being great to work with—both for our clients and within our team. We are seeking a Project Manager with an engineering background to join our team in the Chicago area. In this role, you'll coordinate across multiple disciplines—process, mechanical, controls, and construction—bringing together diverse technical teams to deliver complete project solutions. This is an exceptional opportunity to learn from and be mentored by a highly experienced, professional, and talented multi-discipline project manager and business development leader, while having the full support of our robust engineering and design team.
