About This Role
Planning and executing capital and operational expense projects to ensure continuous production is the core of this Facilities Project Manager role.

- Lead commercial strategy and cost discipline: RFP packages, bid leveling, TCO-based award decisions, change orders/claims/back-charges, PO/invoice/retainage control, and quantified value engineering and cost avoidance without compromising safety, code, or reliability
- Serve as the single point of contact across Manufacturing, Maintenance, EHS, Quality, IT/OT, Finance, Procurement, and contractors; communicate status in production-relevant terms (line risk, recovery plan, cost/schedule impact)
- Deliver production-ready assets through punch list, commissioning, as-builts, O&M turnover, training, warranty start, and complete financial/project documentation
- Improve standard work for estimating, contractor onboarding, shutdown execution, and financial reporting; coach coordinators or junior PMs on cost control and manufacturing-safe execution as applicable
