Sr. MES Implementation Project Manager

Job Description

This role will lead a critical manufacturing execution system (MES) initiative that is part of a broader global digital automation roadmap. The MES program, one of the site’s highest priority projects, began last summer and is nearing completion of phase one, with PQs finalized and system release pending. With the current project lead exiting, this individual will assume ownership of the program by first assessing the current state of the implementation, providing recommendations, and reporting findings. If the project is confirmed to be on track, the role will transition into a one year contract to complete the remaining MES rollout and support additional digital automation initiatives in partnership with a third party vendor. The role includes direct people management responsibility for a cross functional team of approximately six, covering quality and documentation, manufacturing floor MES execution and operator training, regulatory testing and documentation review, recipe design and verification, and IT hardware and connectivity. Key responsibilities include resource allocation, one on one coaching, performance management, objective setting, and tracking project and team metrics. Depending on timing, the role will either close out phase one or lead the transition into phase two, ensuring continuity and momentum during a critical phase of implementation.
