Facilitate kickoff meetings, site walkthroughs, and regular progress updates
Mentor junior team members and participate in training and recruitment
Stay current with evolving industry practices and technical innovations
What You Bring:
5+ years of experience estimating, designing, or managing process piping projects
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (preferred)
Proven track record managing scopes ranging from $50K to $25M+

Experience in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or biotech construction environments
Proficiency with gas and fluid transport systems: nitrogen, oxygen, steam, chemicals

Strong communication skills and ability to manage internal and external stakeholders
Capacity to juggle multiple priorities while supporting internal team growth
