The role:
Our capital plan is bigger than our ability to track it. That's the problem you solve.
You'll be the operating system for the manufacturing program — schedules, budgets, purchase orders, vendors, documentation, change control, and the meeting cadence that keeps two project engineers and a plant full of stakeholders pointed the same direction. You won't own the engineering. You'll own whether it lands on time, on budget, and with a turnover package someone can actually use.
What you'll own:
- Support the Program Manager and Project Engineers in planning and executing capital projects from scope definition through startup
- Build and maintain project schedules, milestone trackers, and Gantt charts, and keep them honest
- Track project budgets and forecasts against approved capital, and reconcile committed versus actual spend monthly
- Initiate and manage purchase requisitions, POs, receipts, and invoice matching, and expedite long-lead equipment and parts
- • Coordinate contractors, vendors, and OEMs on schedule adherence, deliverables, and site requirements
- • Run the meeting cadence — agendas, notes, action items, and the follow-up that makes them mean something
- • Collect and organize technical documentation: drawings, spec sheets, O&M manuals, FAT and SAT packets, spare parts lists, and turnover packages
- • Route scope, drawing, and equipment changes through the site change control process so GMP impact gets assessed before work starts
- • Maintain the risk and issue log, and escalate anything that threatens timeline, cost, or quality early enough to matter
- • Coordinate contractor onboarding, safety orientation, and GMP rules for anyone working in production zones
- • Bridge project work into operations — commissioning support, qualification handoff, operator training, and documentation turnover
- • Publish weekly project status and monthly capital review packages for plant and company leadership
A good fit if…
- You're the person who notices the long-lead item nobody ordered
- You can chase a vendor, a controls integrator, and a shift supervisor in the same hour and keep all three cooperative
- You're organized in a way other people can use, not just a way that works for you
- You want to grow into project management and you want reps, not a title
What the Heath plant is actually like
- Regulated infant formula facility — every equipment change carries a change control and often a validation requirement
- Active production: projects happen around running lines, which means real constraints on when work can occur
- A growing capital plan with more scope than structure — you're being hired to add the structure
- You'll gown in and walk the floor regularly; this isn't a desk-only role
What we would like you to have:
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, industrial technology, construction management, business, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 1–3 years supporting projects in a manufacturing or industrial environment; food, dairy, or FDA-regulated experience preferred
- Strong Excel plus MS Project, Smartsheet, Primavera, or equivalent scheduling tools
- ERP experience (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, or similar) for requisitions, POs, and capital tracking
- Able to read basic technical drawings — layouts, equipment general arrangements, and P&IDs
- Familiarity with GMP documentation and change control, or the appetite to learn it fast
- Excellent written and verbal communication across the shop floor, engineering, vendors, and leadership
- Comfortable running multiple concurrent workstreams and telling a leader something they don't want to hear
- CAPM, Lean Six Sigma Yellow or Green Belt, OSHA 10/30, or HACCP awareness training are a plus, not a requirement
Willingness to gown in and work in a GMP production environment, and to lift up to 60 lbs occasionally
The honest picture:
Regulated infant formula facility. FDA inspects. Concrete floors, loud equipment, continuous production. You gown in every shift — hair net, no jewelry, no nail polish, no fragrances, dedicated footwear. No phone on the floor. Coordination here means chasing people who are already busy, and the schedule you publish is the one leadership will hold you to.
If you want a role where the process already exists and you follow it, this isn't that — and that's okay to know before you apply.
