A well-established consumer products manufacturer with two plants located on the same campus is undergoing significant expansion and is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead large-scale capital projects.

Position Overview

The Senior Project Manager will lead complex capital projects within a high-speed manufacturing environment.

• Bachelor’s Degree required (Engineering degree strongly preferred)
• Minimum 8+ years of project management experience in manufacturing environments
• Proven track record managing large, multi-million-dollar capital projects from start to finish
• Direct experience managing contractors and on-site construction execution
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills
