The Richmond Group USA

We are seeking an Engineering Project Manager / Senior Project Engineer to manage projects through from concept to startup of regulated processing equipment and infrastructure upgrades.

We’re partnering with a regulated manufacturing organization in growth mode, with multiple new products being commercialized over the next several years.

This is a company investing heavily in its infrastructure, people, and capabilities to help reduce reliance on global manufacturing for essential medicines and prescriptions.

You’ll support a diverse portfolio of capital projects across process equipment, utilities, and facilities working cross-functionally with MS&T, Operations, Quality, Validation, Maintenance, and EHS to ensure projects are executed safely, compliantly, and on schedule.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading technical aspects of projects from scope development through commissioning and startup

• Documenting systems and equipment, reviewing P&IDs, equipment layouts, and vendor submittals

• Supporting FAT/SAT, IQ/OQ/PQ, and validation activities

• Partnering with vendors and contractors during installation and startup

• Ensuring compliance with cGMP, quality, and safety standards

What makes this opportunity compelling:

• Be part of a mission-driven organization focused on strengthening domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing

• Work on high-visibility projects tied to new product commercialization

• Gain exposure across the full project lifecycle

• Join a team that’s still evolving, where engineers can make a real impact on systems, processes, and culture

What they’re looking for:

• 5+ years of engineering experience in pharma, biotech, or regulated manufacturing

• Experience supporting capital projects and equipment installations

• Familiarity with GMP environments, validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and engineering documentation (URS, P&IDs, etc.)

• Strong collaboration and communication skills

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to step into a visible, hands-on engineering role where your work directly supports something bigger than just production output.
