ABOUT THE ROLE

The Site Related Projects / Tie-Ins Manager delivers the portfolio of smaller scopes that connect new-build assets to the live, operating site — tie-ins to existing utilities, modifications inside existing buildings, and other site-integration projects. The role requires deep coordination with the operating site's Operations team to protect ongoing GMP production during execution. The 'Existing Building Projects / Tie-Ins Manager' variant focuses on work performed inside operating manufacturing/lab buildings.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Coordinate tie-ins with the Tie-In / Site Integration Manager and with the Utilities PM.
• Support and manage contractor mobilization to brownfield environments — escorts, training, GMP gowning, restricted-zone protocols.
• Drive HSE and quality compliance in live-plant conditions; lead Management of Change (MOC) submissions.
• Report cost/schedule status per sub-project; escalate risks to plant operations promptly.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, or Civil Engineering, or Construction Management.
• 12+ years of capital project experience; 5+ years managing brownfield/tie-in scopes in operating pharma or chemical plants.
• Strong working knowledge of GMP change control and operating-site MOC processes.
• Demonstrated track record of executing in live-plant conditions without disrupting production.
• English required.

Preferred

• Spanish strongly preferred.
