Position Description:

Our project managers are technical leads first, with a strong background in CQV strategy, development, and field execution. We look for culture fit above all – our people are our most important asset, and great people make great teams! Our ideal project manager will have experience managing projects of $1m or more, and have managed teams of at least 6-8 engineers and consultants on defined scopes of work.

A successful CAI PM will need to show direct responsibility for scope/schedule/budget for project experience. We love experienced generalists, but if you’re a CQV SME in facilities, clean utilities, upstream and downstream biotech equipment, single use disposable, or aseptic fill finish manufacturing, we’d like to talk to you! A PMP is great, but you’ll need the experience if you want to run with a CAI team. On any given day, you might be leading a budget review meeting, leading a daily huddle with your team, reviewing a summary report, writing a protocol, or supporting your team executing in the field. CAI PMs are active, multifaceted roles - desktop PMs need not apply! The CAI project manager typically reports to either a client manager or an area manager.

Requirements include:

Position Requirements:

12-16 years' experience is required.

Experience with cGMP commissioning, qualification, and validation of biotech equipment/facilities/equipment is required. This includes significant experience with the overall validation lifecycle.

Project management experience ($1m direct responsibility) is required.

A PMP is preferred

A BS in a science or engineering field is preferred, but equivalent experience is considered

Other Requirements:

Excellent oral and written communication skills in English 

Able to travel domestically and internationally if required 

Able to work (paid) overtime 

Able to work in the US without sponsorship now or any time or in the future
