  • Identify engineering needs for key stakeholders within the business.
  • Relate well to employees throughout the business in teaching and coaching the best way to tackle engineering projects.
  • Lead cross-functional teams and influence decision-making at all organizational levels to achieve project objectives and business results.
  • Utilize internal and external resources and lead them through project phases.
  • Lead complex Greenfield, Brownfield, expansion, modernization, acquisition, and asset-relocation projects from concept through startup.
  • Follow Environmental, Quality and Safety Management System procedures and requirements.
  • Ability to meet the essential job requirements, with or without reasonable accommodation, as outlined in the job description.
