Project Manager; Pharmaceutical Facilities Expansion

Our client is a growing pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing high‑quality medications and improving patient access to effective treatments. They prioritize innovation, safety, and reliable manufacturing practices that support better health outcomes. Joining their team means contributing to meaningful work that brings trusted therapies to the people who need them most.

We are seeking an onsite, full‑time Project Manager for a 12‑month assignment supporting the expansion of facilities in Baton Rouge, LA. While engineering or technical qualifications are highly valued, experience managing projects in a cGMP environment is essential.

The ideal candidate brings strong project management capability, task scheduling expertise, and proficiency with recognized project management tools. Clear communication of project progress, risks, and timelines to senior leadership will be a key part of your success.

Reporting to the Site Director, you will oversee the expansion of external materials‑handling facilities and internal filling operations. Experience with gases under pressure, liquid gas distribution, manifolds, tank farm installations, and integration with filling/packaging lines will be highly regarded. Critical to the role is hands‑on exposure to cGMP practices, including installation, qualification, validation procedures, and good engineering practice within pharmaceutical or life‑science environments.

Experience with MS Project or similar software is expected.

This role requires at least 90% onsite presence; remote work will not be considered. Relocation support may be available for suitable candidates. With multiple active projects and peak activity expected in Fall 2026, we are seeking a quick starter ready to step into a high‑impact role.
