Jobs in Advance Indiana

Technical Source is partnered with a large pharmaceutical manufacturing client in Lebanon, IN on a major new facility build. They are building out the full asset register for the site and need a junior-level Field/Asset Verification Engineer to help verify and tag 30,000+ pieces of HVAC and facilities equipment.

This is a hands-on, field-focused role – not a traditional validation protocol-writing or protocol-execution position. You’ll spend most of your time in the plant and utility areas, walking down equipment, tagging assets, and entering data.

What You’ll Do

• Walk down HVAC and facilities equipment (mechanical and electrical) throughout the facility.
• Use P&IDs and equipment lists to locate and correctly identify equipment in the field.
• Read and capture nameplate data (manufacturer, model, serial number, ratings, etc.) from equipment.
• Assign and apply asset tags to each verified piece of equipment.
• Enter and maintain equipment information in Excel-based asset data sheets (asset number + nameplate data).
• Potentially use barcode scanners or tablets in the field for tagging and data capture, as project tools are rolled out.
• Support basic problem solving when equipment in the field does not match drawings or existing lists (e.g., mismatched IDs, missing tags), by documenting and escalating discrepancies to the onsite engineering team.

This work is critical in building a complete and accurate asset list that will feed into future maintenance, reliability, and compliance systems for a major pharmaceutical facility.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have Qualifications

• 1–2+ years of industry experience working around HVAC and/or facilities equipment in industrial, commercial, institutional, or large building environments.
• Examples: manufacturing plants, large commercial buildings, hospitals, universities, data centers, etc.
• Ability to read and use P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams):
• You can use P&IDs and equipment lists to locate and verify equipment in the field.
• Comfortable with field-intensive work and detailed documentation:
• Physically able to walk the site, stand for extended periods, and climb stairs/ladders.
• Comfortable working in plant/utility/roof areas with appropriate PPE.
• Strong attention to detail in capturing and entering technical data into Excel (sorting/filtering, careful data entry).

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related field.
• Minimum 10 years’ experience managing major construction projects valued between $500 million and $2 billion, ideally within pharmaceutical, life sciences, or process industries.
• Proven experience working in a client-side leadership capacity on large, technically complex programs in a dynamic and high-pressure environment.
• Deep understanding of construction management systems, progress measurement, and reporting frameworks.
• Strong familiarity with mechanical completion, system turnover, and GMP documentation requirements.
• Demonstrated expertise in construction methodologies for construction sequencing, process equipment, piping systems, HVAC, electrical, and instrumentation installations.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills.
• Recognized professional certification (CEng, PMP, MCIOB, or equivalent)

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.

Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.

Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.

The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:

• Emotionally stable
• Responsible
• In good physical health
• Non-smoker
• Has had at least one successful pregnancy
• Is capable of carrying a child to full term

A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.

In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.

Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
