• Review design deliverables, submittals, RFIs, and change documentation to maintain alignment with design intent and project objectives.
• Participate in site visits and coordination meetings to verify design intent is being executed and constructability concerns are addressed early.
• Serve as the primary design-side contact for assigned projects, maintaining clear, consistent, and proactive communication with clients.
• Lead design presentations, technical reviews, and project update meetings with clients and internal leadership.
• Build trusted client relationships through accountability, responsiveness, and technical credibility.
• Support front-end project efforts by contributing to proposal development, interviews, pursuit strategies, and early project definition.
• Mentor engineers and designers, supporting professional growth and development of future project leaders.
• Foster a collaborative, high-performance team environment aligned with Clayco’s culture and values.
• Contribute to the development and refinement of LJC’s design standards, tools, workflows, and best practices for life sciences projects.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in architecture, engineering, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience in engineering or architectural design for GMP, FDA, or other regulated manufacturing environments.
• Prior experience as a design project manager or demonstrated leadership as a senior technical discipline lead on complex projects.
• Proven experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or life sciences facility design.
