Manager, Project Engineering

R-169027 | Richmond, Virginia, United States

To support growth, world‑class manufacturing and productivity, you manage the detailed planning, development and execution of capital projects, leading technical development, feasibility perspectives on engineering-related activities within the supply chain, and capital expense project execution meeting the highest levels of quality, safety and environmental requirements. You follow Mondelēz business and innovation processes in project management and ensure adherence to Mondelēz standards in execution.

Working with key stakeholders, you will define and deliver the capital and technical agenda during the development phase of mid to large capital investment projects so that accurate budgets, plans and fit‑for‑purpose technical solutions are provided. You will develop the capital budget according to the contract and forecast cash flow. In addition, you will ensure that engineering developments and standards are implemented and develop and implement state‑of‑the‑art processes and equipment strategies to optimize resources, harmonize assets and rollout best practices.

You are responsible for managing several capital project executions in parallel and accountable that the quality and the results of capital projects meet Mondelēz standards in business and innovation processes in project management. You manage engineering resources and people management and development needs.
