Collaborate with senior leaders across Engineering, QA, QC, Development, Supply Chain Management, Finance, Manufacturing, and Corporate Functions,
Lead and develop a diverse team of managers and specialists through coaching, goal setting, and performance reviews,
Ensure functional budgets and resource plans are aligned with business priorities.
Your Qualifications:
A relevant degree in Engineering, Facility Management, or a related field,
10+ years of progressive leadership experience in facility management,
Experience in a complex manufacturing or regulated environment,
Proven ability to manage both technical infrastructure and service delivery,
Strong knowledge of EHS, energy systems, and GMP/cleanroom facility compliance (GMP experience is a plus),
