Senior Process Engineer

Overview

The Senior Process Engineer position is an exciting opportunity to join PM Group's quickly growing Boston area team located out of Burlington, MA . Together we will all be sharing knowledge, learning, growing, and continuing to be an integral part of supporting PM Group's ongoing expansion in the US. Our office is executing cutting-edge projects for Cell & Gene Therapy, Biologics, and Pharma facilities - from feasibility through to qualification - for both local and international clients. With our clients and partners, we will deliver projects that improve the everyday lives of people across the globe.

This is a senior level career position and we are looking for an Engineer who enjoys client interaction as well as the technical aspects of the position. This individual needs to have an understanding of the technical aspects of process design engineering. The ability to successfully handle multiple real-time complex project and operational tasks as well as maintain a strong work ethic and drive to deliver for clients as a collaborative colleague are necessary for this role. The Senior Process Engineer is mentored by more senior level engineering team members and, conversely, will be involved with the mentoring and development of less experienced process engineering team members. Expect project work to include all levels of design: feasibility studies, conceptual & schematic design, construction documentation, and construction administration. Project sizes will vary and will consist primarily of life science industry projects doing both existing building improvements and new construction.
