Job Title: C&Q Lead / Project Manager - Pharmaceutical Utilities & Process Engineering
Location: Indianapolis, IN
Contract: 12+ months, multi-year project; W2/1099/C2C

A rare chance to lead from the front. This is a hands-on leadership seat for a veteran pharmaceutical engineering leader who wants to own outcomes, set the standard for quality and safety, and represent the team at the leadership table, while still being out in the field with the people they lead.

What You Bring (Required)

• Engineering degree (Mechanical or Electrical preferred)
• 12+ years of pharmaceutical industry experience (15+ preferred)
• 5+ years as an engineering manager or higher, with true leadership-level tenure rather than senior individual-contributor experience alone
• Deep SME-level knowledge of pharmaceutical utilities and process engineering, with strong documentation experience
• High-level fluency in utility engineering and P&ID reading
• Strong organizational skills: able to run multiple workstreams without anything falling through the cracks
• Confidence at the leadership level, including the ability to negotiate effectively with vendors and cross-functional teams
• Physical readiness for full field conditions: extended time on your feet, heat and cold exposure, tight spaces, lift use, and heavy construction and outdoor environments (a genuine requirement of the role)

Who You Are

• Self-driven and decisive: you don't wait to be told what to do and you own your outcomes
• A leader who drives a team forward and leads with genuine care, not just authority
• Someone who sets the tone for doing things right the first time, with patient safety and team safety as non-negotiable priorities

What You'll Do

• Lead the C&Q team's workload to completion, driving execution rather than just overseeing it
• Create documentation and perform system walkdowns in the field alongside your team
• Serve as the SME for pharmaceutical utilities and process engineering
• Apply high-level P&ID knowledge to support system verification and field decisions
• Represent the team in leadership-level discussions and lead negotiations with vendors, other departments, and cross-functional teams

Why You'll Want This Role

• A true lead-from-the-front role: direct a team and do the work alongside them
• Real ownership and visibility, with a voice in leadership-level discussions
• The authority to lead vendor and cross-functional negotiations
• Be the utilities and process engineering SME that others rely on
• A culture where patient safety, team safety, and getting it right the first time come first
