Elwood, IL | On-site

Stepan is looking for a hands-on Construction Manager to lead $1M–$3M capital projects at our Elwood chemical manufacturing site. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning multiple projects , balancing planning with field execution, and working inside an operating PSM-regulated plant .

You’ll have real autonomy - planning the work, coordinating contractors, sequencing activities, and executing projects safely within production-driven windows. No megaprojects, no year-long outages - just meaningful, varied work where your decisions matter.

What you’ll do

  • Execute multiple capital construction projects from FEL through commissioning
  • Plan construction scope, sequencing, schedules, and contractor activities
  • Maintain strong field presence and champion safe work practices
  • Partner closely with Operations, Engineering, and EHS

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years in heavy industrial manufacturing (chemical/PSM/refining)
  • Experience executing construction projects in a chemical plant or other PSM-regulated environment
  • Strong understanding of piping, tanks, and process systems
  • Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
  • Capital project execution experience managing field scope, schedules, and contractors
  • Ability to work effectively with diverse personalities across Operations, Engineering, Safety, and contractors

Training provided for Stepan-specific permit processes and systems.

If you like ownership, variety, and getting work done in a live plant , this is a role where you can make your mark.

Pay Range: $84,000 - $113,000

The salary range for this position is determined by considering a variety of factors such as skills, experience, qualifications, and the location of the position.

At Stepan Company our comprehensive benefits package includes:

  • Discretionary Bonus
