Developing policies, procedures, and metrics to facilitate the accurate collection, dissemination, and reporting of key performance indicators (KPIs), crucial for tracking progress towards strategic goals.

Influencing and ensuring the proper implementation of change management strategies to enhance start-to-finish execution of engineering, project management, and maintenance initiatives, aiming to reduce costs, improve quality, and gain efficiencies.

Ensuring that engineering and capital project/maintenance activities adhere to established EH&S standards, policies, and procedures, and remain compliant with relevant building codes, GMP best practices, and applicable regulations, including those mandated by the FDA & OSHA.

Collaborating cross-functionally with counterparts in Operations, Sales, Quality, EH&S, Finance, IT, HR, Advisory Services, and Legal departments to ensure seamless operational, strategic, and business alignment.

Playing a pivotal role in the selection, training, development, mentoring, and motivation of your direct reports and engineering department staff. This includes crafting short-term and long-term development plans for high-potential team members and conducting regular assessments to track progress and performance.

Leading by example to foster a positive, inclusive-friendly corporate and departmental culture that exemplifies the values of safety, quality, customer focus, people, integrity, and excellence.

Required Skills and Experience

A Bachelor of Science degree (BSc) in a mechanical, chemical, facilities management, or related engineering field is required. An MBA degree is strongly preferred.

Over 20 years of hands-on experience in technical engineering, capital project management, and facilities maintenance, with a minimum of 10 years in a strategic leadership role at the senior management/director level.

Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, along with strong presentation abilities.

The ability to adeptly manage multiple competing challenges and deadlines while navigating various stakeholder priorities with patience and tact.
