Responsibilities:

  • Serve as a core team member on sustaining engineering projects, ensuring site and operations requirements are incorporated into scope, risk assessments, validation strategies, and implementation plans.

  • Act as the primary point of contact between platform project teams and manufacturing sites, communicating execution needs, risks, constraints, and status.

  • Provide site-level input on capacity, timing, and resource availability to support project sequencing and prioritization decisions.

  • Coordinate site execution activities, including validations, process studies, engineering work orders, material trials, and line-time planning.

  • Monitor site readiness and execution risks, escalating impacts and constraints to project leadership and the PMO to enable timely mitigation.

  • Support implementation of sustaining changes such as material or packaging updates, process changes, compliance initiatives, and business continuity projects.

  • Experience supporting cross-functional project teams with site execution responsibilities.

  • Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority.

  • Experience operating in a quality- and regulatory-controlled environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in medical devices or another highly regulated manufacturing environment.

  • Exposure to cost-out, supply continuity, compliance, or end-of-life initiatives.

  • Experience coordinating site trials or execution across multiple manufacturing lines or sites.

  • Familiarity with SAP manufacturing and document control systems.

  • PMP, Lean Six Sigma, or similar project or operations certifications.

  • Business analysis, product management, or negotiation/mediation training.

Success in This Role

  • Manufacturing sites have a clear, trusted point of contact for sustaining engineering initiatives.

  • Project teams have accurate visibility into site capacity, timing, and execution constraints.

  • Validations, trials, and implementations are planned earlier and executed with fewer disruptions.

  • Sustaining projects progress efficiently through strong coordination between sites and platform teams.

  • Site sustaining needs are clearly communicated and effectively prioritized at the platform level.
