Senior Project Manager – Capital Projects (Engineering & Construction)
Overview


This is a high-impact leadership role for a seasoned Project Manager who thrives in complex, fast-paced industrial environments. You will take ownership of large-scale, multi-phase capital projects—driving execution from concept through commissioning—while influencing strategy, client relationships, and internal performance.

You won’t just manage projects—you’ll shape outcomes, mentor talent, and play a key role in how projects are delivered across the organization.


What You’ll Do

  • End-to-End Project Leadership
  • Own full lifecycle execution of capital projects across engineering, design, procurement, construction, and startup phases.
  • Translate broad project objectives into clear execution strategies aligned with structured front-end planning methodologies.
  • Drive schedule, cost, and quality performance with a proactive, solutions-first mindset
    Client & Stakeholder Influence.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to clients, building long-term partnerships grounded in delivery excellence.
  • Anticipate client needs and proactively guide decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Contribute to growth initiatives through scope development, technical input, and strategic expansion of existing relationships
  • Team Leadership & Development
  • Lead cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, and field execution
  • Mentor and develop emerging project leaders, strengthening overall team capability
  • Foster accountability, collaboration, and a high-performance culture.
  • Risk Management & Problem Solving
  • Identify project risks early and implement mitigation strategies that protect timelines and financial outcomes.
  • Navigate ambiguity and change with confidence, keeping projects on track under pressure
  • Resolve technical and operational challenges with a balanced, business-minded approach
  • Planning, Scheduling & Execution Discipline
  • Build and manage detailed project schedules across multiple workstreams
  • Optimize resource allocation and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements
  • Support portfolio-level planning through accurate forecasting and workload visibility
  • Financial Ownership
  • Manage project financials including budgets, forecasts, and cost controls.
  • Understand and influence key financial drivers such as margins, change orders, and cash flow.
  • Deliver predictable financial outcomes through disciplined project controls


What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related technical discipline
  • Experience in Chemical Processing, Oil/Gas, Bio-Refineries, Agricultural Chem or Food Flavors\Ingredients desirable.
  • At Least 8 years of experience managing complex industrial or engineering-driven projects
  • Demonstrated success leading large, multi-phase capital projects with minimal oversight
  • Strong client-facing experience with the ability to influence and build trust at multiple levels
  • Expertise in project controls, scheduling tools, and structured project delivery methodologies
  • PMP or equivalent certification preferred
  • Willingness to travel up to ~30% depending on project needs

        Why This Role Stands Out

  • Opportunity to lead high-visibility, technically complex projects with real business impact
  • Direct influence on both project execution strategy and organizational performance
  • Strong autonomy with the backing of a well-established, growth-oriented platform
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package

    About the Organization
  • This organization is a global provider of advanced engineering solutions, delivering innovative technologies and large-scale project execution across multiple industrial sectors. With a strong focus on continuous improvement and technical excellence, the company is recognized for developing and implementing cutting-edge processes that drive efficiency and long-term value.
