• Direct and coordinate daily work activities for multiple subcontractors/trades (civil, structural, architectural, mechanical/HVAC, piping, electrical, controls, fire protection, insulation, etc.).
• Lead field planning: workface planning, daily/weekly look-ahead, constraint removal, and sequencing to maintain productivity and schedule.

Safety Leadership

• Champion a strong safety culture consistent with client and contractor programs (OSHA/site rules).

• Review/verify installation quality for process equipment and GMP utilities (e.g., purified water, clean steam, process gases, vacuum, chilled water/steam/condensate, wastewater/neutralization—project dependent).
• Support punchlist management, deficiency resolution, and field verification/inspection readiness.

Interface Management (Owner / A&E / Contractors)

• Coordinate construction execution with the A&E team: field design clarifications, constructability issues, and redlines/as-builts.
• Participate in coordination meetings, pull planning sessions, and progress reporting (schedule updates, constraint logs, productivity blockers).
• Communicate clearly and early when scope, schedule, access, or design constraints threaten field progress.

Equipment & Package Expediting

• Track critical equipment/package readiness (FAT/SAT support as required, delivery schedules, staging, rigging plans, installation prerequisites).
• Coordinate receiving, laydown, preservation, and turnover documentation for API synthesis equipment and supporting systems.

Turnover, Commissioning Support & Documentation

• Drive system walkdowns and turnover boundaries (systems/areas), supporting mechanical completion packages and turnover to commissioning/CQV.
• Coordinate vendor support in the field (start-up oversight, issue resolution, closeout).
• Maintain accurate field records: daily reports, installed quantities, progress photos, redlines, punch list status, and turnover artifacts.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of on-site construction field engineering/supervision experience in pharma, biotech, chemical process, or other regulated industrial environments.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple trades and contractors on fast-moving projects.
• Working knowledge of GMP/GDP expectations for construction in/near regulated manufacturing areas (material control, cleanliness, change control awareness, turnover discipline).
• Strong safety mindset and familiarity with typical industrial permit-to-work processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with API chemical synthesis facilities and/or process equipment installation (reactors, filter/dryers, centrifuges, solvent handling, contained transfer, etc.).
• Familiarity with ISPE Baseline concepts, ASTM E2500 mindset, commissioning/qualification interfaces, and turnover best practices.
• Experience working on projects involving advanced manufacturing/automation integrations (PCS/DCS/DeltaV/PLC/SCADA—platform varies by site).

Skills & Attributes
