• Lead end-to-end execution of capital projects including equipment installation, facility upgrades, and infrastructure improvements
• Act as a technical decision-maker, ensuring systems and equipment are properly scoped, selected, and implemented
• Partner with contractors, vendors, and engineering firms to drive project execution
• Translate conceptual layouts into practical, executable solutions
• Define capacity, material flow, and operational requirements with internal stakeholders
• Support equipment sourcing, vendor selection, and procurement decisions
• Coordinate installation, integration, and startup activities within an active production environment
• Support validation and change control processes as needed
• Manage project scope, timelines, and risks while ensuring successful delivery
• Communicate progress, risks, and key decisions to leadership

• Strong technical foundation with ability to make engineering decisions
• Experience working with external contractors, OEMs, and engineering partners
• Exposure to regulated environments (GMP, food, pharma, or similar) is preferred
• Ability to operate in a hands-on, fast-paced environment with evolving priorities We are open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds, including:
• Capital Project / Project Engineering (equipment, automation, expansions)
• Facilities Engineering (utilities, infrastructure, plant upgrades) The ideal candidate brings a combination of technical depth and project ownership, with the ability to lead execution rather than simply coordinate activities.
