Program Manager – Engineering & Industrial Transformation

If you’re energized by complex, high‑stakes programs and motivated by transforming how a plant operates, this role will put you right at the center of industrial innovation.
We’re looking for a Program Manager who can bring structure, clarity, and momentum to strategic engineering initiatives, automation, digitalization, robotics, vision control, and next‑generation manufacturing.

Here, you won’t just manage programs.
You’ll shape the way the entire site delivers engineering excellence.

What You Will Do

• Lead large‑scale engineering programs, including automation roadmaps, digital transformation, robotics integration, and new product introductions.
• Build and structure the Project Management Office (PMO) with strong tools, methods, and governance.
• Coach project teams and ensure they operate within a clear and ambitious project framework.
• Define and update program management plans aligned with site and global strategies.
• Oversee all phases of the program lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, validation, and transition to routine operations.
• Track key performance indicators (SPI, CPI, safety, quality, cost, timelines).
• Ensure reliable reporting across forecasting, expenses, capitalization, and monthly cost allocation.
• Facilitate transparent communication with all stakeholders at plant and global level.
• Manage resource allocation (people and equipment).
• Oversee assembly, testing, commissioning, validation, and integration activities.
• Ensure proper management of project documentation (technical, financial, quality).

What You Will Bring

• Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in engineering project/program management (pharma, food, life sciences, chemical…).
• Proven experience with automation, robotics, vision systems, packaging or material handling.
• Knowledge of infrastructure upgrades (PLC/SCADA).
• Strong understanding of project management (scope, planning, risk, integration); certifications are a plus.
• Proficiency with project management tools (MS Project or equivalent).
• Fluent English; intermediate French.

To succeed in this role, you bring structure where there is complexity, clarity where there is uncertainty, and discipline where there is pressure. You’re organized, rigorous, and able to manage several moving pieces without losing sight of the broader transformation. You ask the right questions, anticipate risks, and keep teams aligned and motivated.
And above all, you communicate effortlessly, across engineering, operations, finance, leadership, and global partners.

But beyond the role itself, why join us?

Because this is a plant in full transformation, investing in digitalization, automation, and future‑ready systems. You’ll lead programs that genuinely shape the next decade of industrial excellence here. You’ll work in a culture that values collaboration, expertise, and innovation, and where your impact is visible, measurable, and appreciated.

If you’re ready to drive large‑scale transformation and build the systems of tomorrow, this is where your next chapter begins!
