Archem is an advanced energy and specialty chemicals company supporting defense, aerospace, and other mission-critical applications. We bring together experienced technical, engineering, operations, and program teams to develop, scale, and operate complex industrial capabilities.

As Archem continues to expand its manufacturing footprint, we are building the team required to execute large-scale industrial projects safely, efficiently, and with disciplined control of cost, schedule, and technical performance.

Archem is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the execution of a large-scale chemical manufacturing and industrial construction project in Northwest Louisiana.

The Project Manager will provide day-to-day leadership across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup, and operational readiness. This individual will be responsible for maintaining an integrated project baseline across scope, schedule, cost, risk, staffing, and site execution while coordinating internal teams, EPC partners, construction contractors, equipment suppliers, and other project stakeholders.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on project leader with experience managing complex industrial capital projects from engineering and procurement through construction, commissioning, and startup.

• Lead overall project execution across engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and startup.
• Own and maintain the integrated project schedule, cost baseline, milestones, dependencies, and critical path.
• Coordinate activities across engineering teams, EPC firms, construction contractors, equipment suppliers, and specialty subcontractors.
• Lead regular project performance reviews covering schedule, budget, scope, risks, procurement, field changes, and corrective actions.
• Track project costs, commitments, forecasts, estimates to complete, and anticipated cost at completion.
• Identify schedule and budget variances early and drive appropriate corrective and recovery actions.
• Establish and maintain effective scope, configuration, and change-control processes.
• Manage project risks and opportunities and ensure mitigation actions are assigned, tracked, and completed.
• Manage long-lead procurement activities and ensure critical equipment is identified, sourced, tracked, and escalated before impacting the project schedule.
• Coordinate site execution activities including contractor staging, utility interfaces, material flow, construction sequencing, and turnover to operations.
• Support permitting, process-safety reviews, construction readiness, and pre-startup activities.
• Coordinate mechanical completion, commissioning, startup, and transition to steady-state operations.
• Ensure project milestones and deliverables are supported by clear documentation and objective evidence of completion.
• Provide concise project status, forecasts, risks, and decision support to company leadership and key stakeholders.
• Drive accountability across internal and external project teams while protecting safety, quality, cost, schedule, and technical performance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, Business, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of progressively responsible project or program management experience.
• Demonstrated experience managing large industrial, chemical, manufacturing, energy, or process-plant…
