Summary

budget, risk, and stakeholder management across both the SMP program and the
CHP project simultaneously.
- Personally manage the day-to-day coordination workload of
both initiatives — workshops, A&E and contractor coordination, CAR/budget
tracking, permitting follow-up, and progress reporting — without requiring to manage two
disconnected work streams.
- Act as the direct, regular interface with Engineering,
Operations, Quality, EHS, Facilities, Finance, and Procurement, as well as
Corporate Engineering/EHS stakeholders.
- Proactively flag and resolve conflicts or resource
contention between the SMP and CHP work-streams (e.g., shared A&E capacity,
overlapping utility tie-ins, shared site access/outage windows).
- Maintain a consistently high, working-level understanding
of both programs at all times, sufficient to represent either one directly to the site and corporate leadership without needing to check back with other teams
members.
- Be based on-site or available for substantial, recurring
on-site presence at the local facility for the duration of the engagement.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Proven experience providing PM services for pharmaceutical/biologic manufacturing facilities operating under cGMP.
- Direct experience personally leading site master planning engagements at industrial or life sciences campuses.
- Direct experience managing cogeneration/CHP or industrial power generation projects, including utility interconnection and permitting.
- Demonstrated ability to carry a combined, multi-workstream workload as a single accountable lead (not solely team-based delivery).
- Experience working in Puerto Rico (preferred) — familiarity with PREPA interconnection requirements, EQB permitting, and the local labor/construction market.
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) project staff capability.
- Relevant certifications (PMP, CCM, or equivalent) for the proposed lead and key personnel.
- References from at least 3 comparable projects (pharma/biotech preferred) completed in the last 5 years, ideally referencing the same named lead individual being proposed.
