• Manage multiple concurrent projects with competing priorities
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent certification preferred
• 10+ years of progressive experience managing complex technical and capital projects in a defence manufacturing or industrial production environment.
• Proven success leading multidisciplinary project teams through both pre-award and post-award project phases.
• Experience with and strong understanding of defence contract models (Firm Fixed Price, CPFF, IDIQ), and compliance (CGP, ITAR/EAR)
• Hands‑on experience managing manufacturing or facility CAPEX programs, including commissioning and start-up

• Project management methodologies and lifecycle practices (PMBOK or equivalent)
• Defence contracting processes and compliance frameworks
• Manufacturing processes, engineering workflows, and quality systems (ISO, AS9100)
• Cost control, budgeting, and Earned Value Management (EVMS)
• Industrial security and export compliance (CGP, ITAR, EAR)
• Construction and CAPEX project principles within manufacturing settings
• ERP/MRP systems and project scheduling software (e.g. MS Project)

• Strong leadership and team-building abilities
• Excellent organizational and project planning skills
• Advanced analytical and problem-solving capability
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and project management tools
• Effective written and verbal communication across all levels of the organization
• Negotiation, risk management, and decision‑making skills
