In this role, you will:

Coordinate directly with client scheduling and controls resources to align on project timelines and dependencies

Lead look-ahead, test-status, workstream, and internal coordination meetings across engineering, operations, quality, and IT/OT teams

Track actions, risks, dependencies, and deliverables across teams to keep projects on schedule

Support the project through its full lifecycle, from design through testing, commissioning, qualification, and startup, in alignment with GMP and C&Q requirements

Work model

We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role's business requirements, this is a hybrid position based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with onsite days as needed. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance though our various wellbeing programs.

The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you're engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured; we will always be clear about role expectations.

What you need to have to be considered

8+ years of experience in OT/Automation/Controls Engineering within Life Sciences or Pharma manufacturing

Hands-on experience with DeltaV or similar DCS/automation platforms

Experience independently developing and managing schedules for automation and system integration projects

Familiarity with Primavera P6 or MS Project, with the ability to coordinate directly with client scheduling and controls resources

Working knowledge of Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q) processes and experience in GMP-regulated environments

These will help you stand out

Experience as a System Integrator working with Life Sciences clients

Background on large capital projects, manufacturing expansions, or facility startups

PMP, CAPM, or similar project management certification

Experience managing multiple workstreams cross-functionally

We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out as someone who can bring new and exciting things to this role.
