Description
Senior Project Engineer / Project Manager
Chemical Manufacturing Facility | Full-Time | Immediate Start | Assignment Through 2028
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Engineer / Project Manager to lead multiple capital projects at a major chemical manufacturing facility. This is not a traditional construction management role. The successful candidate will serve as the owner's representative and be responsible for managing projects from concept through completion, making critical decisions, overseeing contractors, and driving execution across multiple engineering disciplines.
Projects include the replacement of AFFF foam fire suppression systems and the design and implementation of firewater containment modifications across multiple plant facilities.
PLEASE NO RECRUITING OR STAFFING AGENCIES!
Key Responsibilities
Required Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
What Will Make You Successful
The ideal candidate is an organized, hands-on project leader who can independently manage complex industrial projects, confidently make decisions, control budgets, and effectively coordinate diverse teams and contractors. You are known for delivering projects safely, on schedule, and within budget while maintaining strong relationships and holding others accountable.
Education, fire protection certifications, Procore, and Primavera experience are not required. Proven project execution experience in an industrial environment is far more important.
Compensation: Competitive and commensurate with experience ($70-90 per hour). Candidates with a demonstrated track record of successfully delivering industrial capital projects will be strongly preferred.
Benefits: 401(k), 401(k) matching, Health insurance, Health Savings Account (HSA), Dental insurance, Life insurance, Vision insurance, Paid time off (PTO), holidays and time and a half over 40 hours per week.
