- Ensure engineering changes are incorporated into commissioning plans and qualification protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Maintain traceability between design changes and validation documentation
- Support successful project handover and operational readiness
Stakeholder Communication & Reporting
- Provide reporting on change metrics, approval timelines, and risk levels
- Maintain dashboards and reporting tools for project and program leadership
- Communicate complex technical changes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What we’re looking for:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred)
- 8–15+ years of experience in engineering change management, project controls, or capital project delivery
- Strong experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences environments
Technical Expertise:
