Who are we looking for? The person in this role will thoroughly scope, plan, drive, and successfully execute high‑priority factory construction, expansion, and startup/qualification projects within the global supply chain organization. The ideal candidate will have meticulous attention to detail, tenacity to adhere to commitments, and extensive experience in project management of multiple project types using project management tools. Project management requires an ability to influence and drive accountability outside of direct managerial influence and through third‑party contractors and external engineering support, connecting individual actions to the high‑level project and defined business objectives. The preferred candidate will also understand both large‑scale construction project management through general contractors and subcontractors as well as the micro‑schedule details of engineering design deliverables and execution from breaking ground, through permitting and equipment setting, to successful startup and handover to full production. Based in Fremont, CA. What will you be doing? Responsible for end‑to‑end scoping, planning, management, and execution of critical capital factory projects, heavily focused on ActiveCopper® manufacturing across several factories, concurrently. Accountable for overall schedule, scope, spend, and generating project progress reports. Assemble project teams, define plans, and drive progress within varied project‑type frameworks, reporting, ultimately leading cross‑functional team efforts to completion. Carry out cost, time, and resource planning with external vendors, general contractors, and internal engineering managers to ensure delivery and intersection with business needs. Assess project risks and define countermeasures well in advance to mitigate impact. Manage capital and operating expenses to budget, strictly monitoring impacts of scope or design changes where necessary, and drive the team to thorough design reviews for first‑time‑right excellence. Drive all aspects of regulatory compliance through permitting, equipment design and testing, hazardous materials handling, and other safety‑focused design considerations with a forward‑looking, risk mitigation mentality. Partner at the global level within the Global Engineering team and alongside local Factory Operations Engineering, Continuous Improvement, Program Management, and third‑party support to ensure the relevant expertise is employed in defining, planning, and executing projects across various timescales. Lead cross‑functional team meetings, facilitate communication up, down, and across, and work with managers to address bottlenecks and resource balancing issues. Mentor junior project managers on best practices and support development of improved internal methods and tools for executing factory expansion. Who are you? BS degree in an engineering discipline or other related applied technical field; PMP certification is a plus. 8+ years’ experience in capital project management within a chemical products industry, including planning, negotiating resources, driving multiple complex projects forward concurrently, and leading cross‑functional teams without direct line‑management authority. Experience in management of factory construction and startup. Thoroughly capable of using standard project management software, tools, and methods. Experience with hazardous materials factory buildouts or expansions is desired. Extensive knowledge of project management strategies, tools, and operational approaches to guide both short‑ and long‑term projects, including those requiring macro and micro scheduling of tasks, internal and external. Knowledgeable of various regulatory requirements: hazardous materials and air quality permitting, construction and building permitting, environmental regulations, UL or other electrical standards, fire code, sufficient to drive compliance with the assistance of expert consultants. Bottom‑line oriented, an assertive and resilient team player able to operate within a high‑performance cross‑cultural team. Confident and purposeful approach, paired with strong communication skills and social skills. Critically fixated on scope, schedule, and spend adherence.
