About The Position

PNNL is seeking a senior project manager to lead the Chemical Management Center (CMC), an EED stewarded Service Center that spans multiple radiological laboratory spaces in 331 and RPL/325. The CMC is a comprehensive and integrated radioanalytical capability essential to enabling primary research mission projects. The CMC Lead would actively manage both the Analytical Service Center in 331 and the Analytical Services Organization in the Radiochemical Processing Laboratory (RPL). Previously these two components were managed independently. The selected candidate would be expected to develop and implement a new strategy for managing the entirety of the CMC, leveraging the best practices of both. In this role, the CMC Lead will manage and optimize a matrixed, cross-divisional infrastructure of technical and administrative functions required to support sample analysis and reporting, quality control, billing, and delivery of work on schedule and within budget. Given the scale, complexity, and hands-on nature of the CMC’s work, the selected candidate will be expected to spend the majority of their time on-site at RPL. The position will report within the Nuclear Chemistry and Engineering organizational structure.
