What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering Project Manager position at The Richmond Group USA?
We are looking for a Project Manager to own capital projects not just execute them.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced engineer to step into a highly visible role where you’ll act as the Owner’s Engineer, leading capital expansions and modernization efforts for a large-scale industrial manufacturing operation.
Why This Role Stands Out
- High visibility with executive leadership
- Opportunity to lead transformative capital projects
- Be the decision-maker and influencer, not just a contributor
- Work in a dynamic environment where no two projects are the same
We’re looking for a forward-thinking engineering project leader to partner directly with the Director of Engineering and take charge of high-impact capital improvement projects, from concept through commissioning.
What You’ll Own
- Lead capital expansion projects that drive capacity, efficiency, and long-term growth
- Act as the Owner’s Representative, ensuring projects align with business goals, budgets, and timelines
- Develop and manage full project lifecycle plans (scope, schedule, cost, quality)
- Build project scopes, budgets, and execution strategies from the ground up
What You Bring
- Experience in project engineering or capital project management within industrial or manufacturing environments
- Strong command of design, procurement, construction, commissioning)
- Experience working alongside engineering firms and contractors in an owner-rep capacity
- Ability to translate complex technical and financial data into actionable insights
- Background in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (ABET accredited)
- PMP and/or PE (or on track) is a plus
If you’re someone who thrives on ownership, enjoys influencing major projects from the front seat, and wants to leave a lasting impact on a facility’s future this is the kind of role that doesn’t come around often.
