- Program/Project Manager
This resource is expected to:
- Serve as the single point of accountability for schedule, 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 BMS 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 workstreams (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 team members
- Be based on-site or available for substantial, recurring on-site presence at the facility for the duration of the engagement
Responsibilities:
- Overall program/project governance, schedule, budget, and risk management • Stakeholder coordination across Engineering, Operations, Quality, EHS, Facilities, Finance, and Procurement, as well as Corporate EHS and Engineering teams
- Development and maintenance of integrated master schedules
- Cost estimating, budget tracking, and Capital Appropriation Request (CAR) support
- Contractor/vendor and design firm (A&E) procurement support and oversight
- Risk register development and mitigation tracking
- Change control and document management
- Regulatory/permitting coordination (local, PREPA, EPA/EQB as applicable)
- Progress reporting (weekly/monthly) to site leadership and Global Technical Services stakeholders
- Support for GMP compliance, validation, and commissioning/qualification hand-off as needed
Qualitifications:
- Proven experience providing PM services for pharmaceutical/biologics manufacturing facilities operating under cGMP; Engineering degree preferred for the lead PM
- 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
