• Develop and maintain process documentation, standards, lessons learned, startup checklists, training support materials, and project closeout information so improvements are repeatable and accessible in the future.
• Define, monitor, and communicate key project and process performance indicators, including schedule progress, cost performance, operational readiness, throughput, quality, and improvement benefits.
• Identify risks, bottlenecks, and constraints that may impact project delivery or operational performance, and help develop corrective actions or contingency plans.
• Facilitate cross-functional problem solving, lessons learned, and continuous improvement discussions with stakeholders before, during, and after project execution.
• Use project management tools and structured communication to keep stakeholders aligned on scope, schedule, risks, decisions, and improvement opportunities.

Project Execution and Site Readiness

• Coordinate with project leads, site teams, vendors, and contractors to ensure production equipment installation, process readiness, utilities, access, and startup needs are understood and integrated into the overall project plan.
• Support design reviews by evaluating process flow, equipment placement, maintainability, sanitation, safety, quality, and operational efficiency.
• Issue project reports and readiness updates on a set cadence to appropriate levels of the organization.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners to ensure applicable internal standards, safety expectations, regulatory requirements, and quality standards are incorporated into project execution.
• Oversee assigned equipment vendors and technical contractors related to process systems, production equipment, commissioning, and startup activities.
• Review design documents, installation plans, startup schedules, and project risks to ensure timelines are met and contingency plans are in place.
• Participate in project coordination, pre-installation, commissioning, and startup meetings with vendors and key stakeholders.
• Anticipate regional, operational, or technical concerns that could affect equipment installation, startup, or long-term process performance.
• Track and document open issues, punch list items, change impacts, vendor deliverables, and corrective actions through completion of assigned project scope.
• Travel to project sites as needed to support process reviews, equipment installation, commissioning, startup, and operational stabilization.
