This role leads end-to-end capital projects within a food manufacturing environment, from initial concept and feasibility assessment through equipment selection, installation, commissioning, and handover to operations. The Project Manager develops detailed project plans, manages budgets and schedules, coordinates internal and external stakeholders, and ensures that all projects meet technical, safety, quality, and regulatory requirements. This position offers significant ownership over plant expansions, equipment upgrades, and process optimization initiatives, with strong visibility to leadership and the opportunity to influence efficiency, reliability, and capacity across multiple facilities.

Responsibilities

Develop detailed project scopes, schedules, milestones, and resource plans to ensure capital projects are thoroughly defined and properly planned before execution.
Coordinate contractors, consultants, engineering firms, and equipment suppliers throughout project execution to ensure deliverables meet technical, safety, quality, and schedule requirements.
Lead equipment selection and technical evaluations for new machinery, systems, utilities, and infrastructure based on operational needs and business objectives.
Conduct technical and financial feasibility assessments for proposed capital investments, including ROI analysis, lifecycle cost evaluation, operational impact, and implementation risk.
Identify project risks early in the lifecycle and develop mitigation plans to minimize potential impacts on cost, schedule, safety, and production.
Ensure all capital projects comply with applicable health and safety requirements, building codes, environmental regulations, and internal engineering standards.
Support equipment startup, commissioning, validation, and handover activities to confirm new systems operate as intended before transitioning ownership to plant operations.
Develop and maintain comprehensive engineering documentation, including equipment specifications, drawings, layouts, project records, operating requirements, and vendor documentation.
Collaborate closely with maintenance teams to improve equipment reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle performance when introducing new equipment or modifying existing systems.
Participate in long-term capital planning by identifying aging equipment, infrastructure constraints, capacity requirements, and future investment needs across manufacturing facilities.
Support plant expansion and capacity planning initiatives by evaluating production requirements, facility layouts, utilities, equipment capabilities, and future growth needs.
Establish, monitor, and report on project KPIs related to budget, schedule, safety, equipment performance, and operational improvements.
Conduct post-project reviews to evaluate project performance, capture lessons learned, and identify opportunities to improve the execution of future capital projects.
Provide technical input into facility layout changes, equipment relocation, production line modifications, and infrastructure upgrades.
Support the development and implementation of equipment standards and engineering best practices to improve consistency across multiple manufacturing facilities.
Coordinate planned project work with production and maintenance teams to minimize disruption to manufacturing operations and ensure appropriate shutdown planning.
Assist with the development of annual capital expenditure plans and provide recommendations on how available capital should be prioritized across competing plant needs.
Manage RFIs, project documentation, and communication to keep stakeholders informed and aligned throughout the project lifecycle.
Use Excel and MRP tools to track project data, materials, schedules, and costs, ensuring accurate reporting and effective resource planning.

Qualifications

Proven project management experience in a manufacturing environment (food manufacturing preferred), with a focus on capital projects, equipment upgrades, and facility improvements.
Strong ability to develop and manage detailed project scopes, schedules, milestones, budgets, and resource plans.
Experience coordinating contractors, consultants, engineering firms, and equipment suppliers throughout project execution.
Hands-on experience with CAPEX planning and capital project justification, including ROI and lifecycle cost analysis.
Proficiency with AutoCAD for reviewing and creating equipment layouts, facility drawings, and engineering documentation.
Advanced Excel skills for data analysis, project tracking, budgeting, and reporting.
Experience using MRP systems to plan materials, coordinate procurement, and support project scheduling.
Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, equipment, and utilities within a plant environment.
Ability to conduct technical and financial feasibility assessments and communicate findings to stakeholders.
Knowledge of health and safety requirements, building codes, environmental regulations, and engineering standards relevant to manufacturing facilities.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and risk management skills with the ability to identify issues early and implement effective mitigation strategies.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with production, maintenance, engineering, and external partners.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Engineering degree or equivalent technical education in a related field such as mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering.
Experience with capital planning and long-term asset management in a multi-plant environment.
Experience in equipment selection, commissioning, validation, and handover to operations.
Exposure to process optimization, continuous improvement, and capacity planning initiatives.
Ability to develop and maintain engineering standards and best practices across facilities.
Comfort working in meat processing or food manufacturing environments, including slaughter and further processing operations.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.
Interest in progressing toward future engineering leadership opportunities through ownership of high-impact projects.
