About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Senior Program / Project Manager to lead two strategic, interdependent capital initiatives who can personally own and manage the full combined workload of both the Site Master Planning (SMP) Program and the Cogeneration (CHP) Project at the same time. This resource is expected to serve as the single point of accountability for schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder management across both the SMP program and the CHP project simultaneously. The role involves personally managing the day-to-day coordination workload of both initiatives, including workshops, A&E and contractor coordination, CAR/budget tracking, permitting follow-up, and progress reporting, without requiring to manage two disconnected work streams. The individual will act as the direct, regular interface with Engineering, Operations, Quality, EHS, Facilities, Finance, and Procurement, as well as Corporate Engineering/EHS stakeholders. A key responsibility is to proactively flag and resolve conflicts or resource contention between the SMP and CHP work-streams (e.g., shared A&E capacity, overlapping utility tie-ins, shared site access/outage windows). The role requires maintaining a consistently high, working-level understanding of both programs at all times, sufficient to represent either one directly to the site and corporate leadership without needing to check back with other teams members. The position requires being based on-site or available for substantial, recurring on-site presence at the local facility for the duration of the engagement.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) project staff capability.
• Relevant certifications (PMP, CCM, or equivalent) for the proposed lead and key personnel.
• References from at least 3 comparable projects (pharma/biotech preferred) completed in the last 5 years, ideally referencing the same named lead individual being proposed.
