Job Description

Position Summary

The ISC Project Engineer serves as the Operations representative on platform‑led sustaining engineering projects. This role acts as the primary liaison between manufacturing sites and platform project teams, translating project requirements into executable site actions. The position emphasizes coordination, communication, and execution readiness to support on‑time delivery, manage competing priorities, and reduce operational risk.

Key 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.

* Ensure completion of required documentation and change control activities for site‑impacting changes, including validation documentation, training coordination, and implementation closeout.

Required Qualifications

* Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Supply Chain, Project Management, Communications, or a related field.

* 3+ years of experience in manufacturing, sustaining engineering, process engineering, or product lifecycle support within a regulated industry.

* Working knowledge of validation, change control, risk management, and manufacturing documentation.

* 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.
